Some milder weather is on the way for part of the weekend, but so is some precipitation.
On average, temperatures will remain quite cool through the start of next week. Image provided by WeatherBell.
High pressure builds in with some drier and cooler weather tonight into the first part of Saturday, though we’ll still see some clouds and possibly a rain or snow shower Friday afternoon with an upper-level low nearby. Clouds start to increase later on Saturday as low pressure moves out of the Great Lakes and towards New England. Some rain will move in Saturday evening, but temperatures may be marginally cool enough north and west of Boston for the precipitation to start as a little snow or sleet, before quickly changing to rain as temperatures rise overnight. The rain ends by midday Sunday, then we’ll start to clear out in the afternoon as the system pulls away. As it intensifies in Gulf of Maine, gusty winds will usher cooler air back in later Sunday and Monday.

Much cooler air is on the way for a good chunk of the upcoming week.
When you wake up Tuesday morning, wind chills will be in the 20s. Image provided by WeatherBell.
A strong cold front will move across the region today, while a developing wave of low pressure rides up along that front, bringing some more rain in, especially during the morning and early afternoon hours. It’ll be mild ahead of the front in the morning, but much cooler air will quickly move in behind the front during the afternoon and evening. How cool are we talking? High temperatures on Tuesday will only be in the upper 30s and lower 40s, but it will be breezy, so wind chills will only be in the 20s and 30s. Yes, we’re talking about wind chills. It’s that time of year. A large upper-level low pressure area will then make its way into the region. While this will bring much cooler air into our area, some records may be set in parts of the Southeast, as temperatures may drop to freezing or below all the way to the Gulf Coast. With the upper low nearby we’ll still have some clouds around with a few showers or flurries possible. Yes, snow flurries. Really. The upper low will drift into Atlantic Canada for the middle to latter portion of the week and into the weekend and high pressure will try to build in, but we’ll still have a few disturbances moving through at times, generating some additional clouds along with a few rain or snow showers, while keeping temperatures below normal for mid-November.

An active weather pattern will remain in place, but big changes are on the way in the temperature department.
Systems keep moving through every couple of days. Loop provided by Tropical Tidbits.
High pressure builds in tonight with skies clearing out and winds diminishing, resulting in a rather chilly night, with much of the region likely dropping below freezing. Clouds quickly return on Friday as a frontal system heads our way. Winds shift into the southwest ahead of the system, so it’ll be a milder day. The front brings in some showers Friday night, ending early Saturday morning, with some clearing in the afternoon. Once again, temperatures could top 60 in many places if we can get enough sun during the afternoon.
Saturday is looking like a rather mild day. Image provided by WeatherBell.
Clouds quickly return on Sunday as another system heads into the Great Lakes. We’ll see rain developing Sunday afternoon, continuing into Sunday night as a secondary area of low pressure develops and passes close to or across Cape Cod. As that system moves into the Gulf of Maine on Monday it will intensify, bringing an end to rain. Gusty northwest winds behind the system will usher much cooler air into the region for the first part of next week.

We’re starting off dry today as high pressure slides offshore, but there are two systems heading our way. Low pressure heading up the East Coast will pass by the region later today, producing some light rain across parts of eastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island. At the same time, another system crossing southeastern Canada will send a cold front our way, with some additional rain showers across much of the region tonight. Behind the front, breezy and cooler conditions are likely as high pressure builds in for Tuesday. Another system quickly follows for late Wednesday and Wednesday night, with another round of rain showers, with gusty winds likely behind the system on Thursday. High pressure builds back in, and as it moves eastward, winds will shift into the southwest on Friday, allowing milder air to move back in. It will be short-lived though, as another cold front brings in some showers for Friday night. Saturday should be another dry and cooler day, but yet another system follows on Sunday with another round of showers expected.
Storms will move through the region every other day this week. Loop provided by Pivotal Weather.
Monday: Becoming mostly cloudy with showers developing in the afternoon, mainly across eastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island. High 53-60.

Low pressure moving up the Appalachians will bring some rain into the region this evening, possibly heavy at times for a while. As the system lifts northward, the rain will taper off and end from south to north before daybreak as temperatures rise thanks to increasing southwest winds. Temperatures may top 60 Friday morning in many areas before the storm drags a cold front across the region. Gusty west winds will usher cooler air in, with temperatures dropping through the afternoon. High pressure builds in for the weekend, but with an upper-level low moving through we’ll still have some clouds at times, and winds will remain gusty on Saturday. By Monday, we’ll see clouds start to move back in ahead of a fast-moving storm system moving out of the Great Lakes, with some showers possible at night.
Wind gusts of 30-40 mph or higher are likely across the region Friday afternoon. Image provided by WeatherBell.
Thursday night: Rain likely, possibly heavy for a while through the evening, ending before daybreak, breezy. Low 48-55.

Sunday night: Partly cloudy. Low 30-37, a little milder across Cape Cod.
Some unsettled weather is on the way for the 2nd half of the week for our region. Meanwhile, Jamaica is going to get walloped by Hurricane Melissa.

We start the week off with dry and cool conditions thanks to a large area of high pressure of eastern Canada. However, with an upper-level low still overhead we’ll see clouds popping up today with just a slight chance for a shower, mainly across Cape Cod where northerly winds could generate a few ocean-effect showers. As we head into Tuesday, low pressure will move off the Carolina coast and head out to sea well south of New England. However, the gradient between the developing low and the high to our north will result in northeast winds, bringing some moisture in from the Atlantic. This will result in some clouds, and possibly a few showers or some drizzle across eastern Massachusetts from late Tuesday into Wednesday.
The potential exists for more heavy rain at the end of the week. Images provided by Pivotal Weather.
By late Wednesday, we’ll start to watch a low pressure area developing in the Tennessee Valley. It should head northeastward, but there is still quite a bit of uncertainty with this system. We’ll likely see some rain move in from this system on Thursday, ending Friday morning, which would result in dry weather for trick-or-treating Friday evening. But that’s not the entire story. It’ll likely be rather breezy with this storm, taking down a lot of the remaining leaves on the trees. As a result, if we get enough rain, it’ll result in some slick roads with the wet leaves covering them, as well as areas of poor drainage flooding. But wait, there’s more! We’ll also be keeping an eye on what remains of Hurricane Melissa (more on that in a moment). The system should be heading well out to sea, but it could be just close enough to the East Coast for our developing system to tap into it, and infuse some tropical moisture, which would result in much heavier rain from this system. This scenario is not looking that likely at this time, but it is a possibility, so we felt the need to mention it. An upper-level low pressure area will then move in for the weekend with breezy and cooler conditions.
Forecast track for Hurricane Melissa. Image provided by the National Hurricane Center.
In the Caribbean, Hurricane Melissa is assaulting Jamaica and nearby portions of Cuba and Haiti, and this will continue for another day or two. As of 2am, Melissa was centered about 130 miles south-southwest of Kingston, Jamaica, drifting toward the west at 5 mph. Maximum sustained winds were near 150 mph, making Melissa a Category 4 storm. Unfortunately, the forecast for Jamaica is rather grim. Melissa will drift westward for another day or so, with some additional strengthening expected. That means rain and strong winds will continue to increase across Jamaica. By Monday night, the storm will start to turn more toward the north as a trough of low pressure off the Southeast begins to pick the storm up. That means it will likely cut right across the island, possibly as a Category 5 storm. In addition to sustained winds possibly in excess of 150 mph, a storm surge of up to 15-20 feet east of the center will likely result in widespread damage, including the capital city of Kingston. On top of that, rainfall totals of 20-40 inches (or higher) will result in catastrophic flooding and mudslides. Torrential rain and strong winds are also likely across portions of Haiti and eastern Cuba, especially as Melissa turns northward towards these areas. It will then cross the Turks and Caicos and parts of the Bahamas as it continues to slowly weaken. By mid-week, it could be a threat to Bermuda as well, possibly still at hurricane strength.

Monday: Morning sun with some afternoon clouds, slight chance for a shower or two, especially across Cape Cod. High 48-55.
Monday night: Clear skies north and west of Boston, partly to mostly cloudy south with a few showers or drizzle possible. Low 34-41, a little milder across Cape Cod.
Tuesday: Intervals of clouds and sun, breezy, chance for a few showers or some drizzle near the coast. High 49-56.
Tuesday night: Partly to mostly cloudy with some showers or drizzle around. Low 36-43, a little milder across southeastern Massachusetts and Cape Cod.
Wednesday: More clouds than sun, breezy, some additional showers or drizzle near the coast. High 49-56.
Wednesday night: Mostly cloudy, chance for a few showers. Low 38-45, a little milder across Cape Cod.
Thursday: Plenty of clouds, breezy, rain developing. High 54-61.
Thursday night: Periods of rain, breezy. Low 44-51.
Friday: Cloudy and breezy with rain ending. High 54-61.
Saturday: A mix of sun and clouds, breezy. High 51-58.
Much of the upcoming weekend will feature dry and cool conditions. That will not be the case in parts of the Caribbean as Tropical Storm Melissa meanders around.
High temperatures may only be in the lower 50s by Monday. Image provided by WeatherBell.
An upper-level low pressure system will settle into the Northeast for the next few days while high pressure starts to build in at the surface. The result will be cooler temperatures with some clouds each afternoon, but for the most part we’ll stay on the dry side. The exception will be Friday, with a weak disturbance will move through, possibly generating a couple of pop-up showers during the afternoon hours. As we get deeper into the weekend, the upper-level low will lift out and high pressure becomes more dominant, but we’ll stay on the cool side. As we get towards Monday, we may see more clouds starting to stream in as low pressure heads toward the Mid-Atlantic states. That system could have some impacts here later next week, but we’ll get into more detail about that in our Weely Outlook early Monday morning.

Meanwhile, in the Caribbean, Tropical Storm Melissa remains weak this afternoon, but that may change this weekend. As of 2pm, Melissa was centered about 200 miles south-southeast of Kingston, Jamaica, drifting toward the north-northwest at 2pm. Maximum sustained winds were near 45 mph. Tropical Storm Warnings and Hurricane Watches are in effect for parts of Haiti and all of Jamaica. Wind shear has been keeping Melissa weak since yesterday, but there are signs that the shear will relax over the next 24 hours, which would allow the storm to strengthen. With a large high pressure area building in to the north, the storm will drift westward for the next few days, right on top of some of the warmest water in the Caribbean. This could result in Melissa rapidly strengthening into a powerful hurricane near or just south of Jamaica. Strong winds and torrential rainfall could lash the island, as well as nearby portions of Haiti and eastern Cuba for days. Some models show the potential for 2-4 FEET of rain by early next week, which would result in widespread significant flooding, and mudslides.
Parts of Jamaica, Haiti, and eastern Cuba could see as much as 20-40 inches of rain between now and the middle of next week. Image provided by Weathermodels.com

Despite last week’s heavy rain, we’re still in a drought for much of the region and really need more rain. Well, we are going to get some today.
A cold front will produce showers and thunderstorms this morning as it moves through. Loop provided by Weathermodels.com
A strong cold front will cross the region this morning. Ahead of this front we can expect some heavy rain, maybe a rumble of thunder, and some gusty winds. While this could have some impacts on the morning commute, it will be short-lived, as the rain should end with the front moving offshore by early afternoon. Gusty west winds behind the front will send temperatures downward through the afternoon. We’ll clear out at night as high pressure builds in, giving us some sunshine on Tuesday, but clouds will quickly return Tuesday night ahead of another cold front. This one will produce more showers Wednesday morning, but it will also move through fairly quickly, with skies starting to clear out in the afternoon. High pressure then builds in with cooler weather for the end of the week, but with an upper-level low moving in, we’ll see some clouds each day, and possibly a few showers at times. The upper-level low lifts out over the weekend as high pressure moves overhead with dry and cool conditions.
Temperatures will be below normal for the end of the week and the weekend. Image provided by WeatherBell.
Monday: Rain likely during the morning, possibly heavy at times, ending from west to east by early afternoon, skies start to clear out late in the day, breezy, especially during the morning and early afternoon. High 60-67 in the morning, temperatures start falling in the afternoon.
Monday night: Becoming partly cloudy to clear with diminishing winds. Low 44-51.
Tuesday: Mostly sunny, some clouds start to move back in late in the day. High 58-65.
Tuesday night: Becoming mostly cloudy with showers developing before daybreak. Low 47-54, temperatures may rise a little overnight.
Wednesday: Showers likely during the morning, ending by early afternoon, followed by clearing late in the day, breezy. High 60-67.
Wednesday night: Clear to partly cloudy. Low 40-47.
Thursday: Sunshine and some afternoon clouds, a sprinkle is possible, breezy, cooler. High 54-61.
Thursday night: Clear to partly cloudy. Low 37-44.
Friday: A mix of sun and clouds, slight chance for a shower. High 52-59.
Some nice weather is on the way for most of the weekend, but more rain is in our future.

Our stubborn ocean storm will finally lose its influence on the region tonight with winds diminishing as high pressure builds in from the west. There might still be a few showers across parts of Cape Cod, but otherwise it will remain dry with skies becoming clear across the area. As the high slowly crosses the region we’ll have sunshine and seasonably cool temperatures on Friday. By Saturday, we’ll see temperatures start to moderate, but also some clouds starting to move in ahead of a low pressure area moving into the Great Lakes. Sunday looks like the pick of the weekend with some sunshine in the morning, but clouds start to increase and thicken up during the afternoon. Increasing southwest winds will send temperatures well into the 60s with some spots possibly topping 70. As the front continues to advance eastward, we’ll see some showers developing late Sunday night, likely continuing for a good chunk of Monday until the front pushes offshore.
Monday’s rainfall will be helpful, but we need a lot more to break the drought. Image provided by weathermodels.com
Thursday night: Plenty of clouds with a few showers across Cape Cod, becoming clear elsewhere, breezy along the coast. Low 37-44, milder across Cape Cod.
Friday: Clearing across Cape Cod, plenty of sunshine elsewhere. High 55-62.
Friday night: Clear skies. Low 36-43, milder across Cape Cod.
Saturday: Mostly sunny with some afternoon high clouds. High 57-64.

Sunday: Some morning sun, then increasing and thickening clouds, breezy and milder. High 62-69.
Sunday night: Cloudy with showers developing. Low 50-57.
Monday: Periods of rain and showers, breezy. High 58-65.
Some slow improvement is expected as the week goes on, but the start of the week will be rather nasty.
Low pressure will remain off the East Coast for much of the week. Loop provided by Tropical Tidbits.
Low pressure continues to meander around off the Mid-Atlantic coast today, with more rain, some of it heavy, strong winds, especially near the coast, and coastal flooding around the time of high tide, especially along east and northeast-facing coastlines. The low will start to drift eastward on Tuesday, with rain tapering off to showers and eventually ending, and winds slowly dying down, but it still won’t be a great day. By Wednesday the system will be south of Nova Scotia, but an upper-level low will move into the Northeast, keeping the clouds and cool temperatures around, with a few showers or some drizzle possible, especially near the coast, as north to northeast winds will remain gusty off the Atlantic. Thursday won’t be that much different than Wednesday as the upper low only slowly moves eastward.
Much of the region will pick up another 1-2″ (or more) of much needed rain before it ends. Images provided by Pivotal Weather.
We finally start to see some improvement by Friday as high pressure continues to build in at the surface, but also aloft. Saturday looks to be the pick of the week with sunshine and milder temperatures with high pressure in control. Sunday will be a warmer day, but we won’t see as much sunshine. Low pressure moving into the Great Lakes will send some clouds into the region. Whether we see any showers before the end of the day is still a question mark, but for now, it looks like most of the day should remain dry.
Temperatures could approach or exceed 70 on Sunday. Image provided by WeatherBell.
