11/15/11 More milds... then a cool off.

60 Degrees at 7 AM in Boston on November 15. Wow, considering the average high for today is 52, 60 is quite warm. This would be a normal morning in June!

We can thank a cold front off to our west for allowing warm air to surge ahead of it. This cold front will continue to slowly push eastward and the low pressure that is associated with it will strengthen some once it reaches the Atlantic Ocean.


A shield of rain will develop along the front and stream into New England on Wednesday for a pretty damp day.

Weather map for Wednesday showing rain over much of southern New England at 2 PM. The rain will be around most of the day

The colder air will begin to pour into the northeast on Thursday where we will be left dry but cooler.  Warmer air returns for the later part of the weekend!

11/14/11 Enjoying some warmth!

What should have transpired in October is now happening in November. A transitional period... Yeah yeah, we already had snow and a frost, but what will be happening over the next 10 days will be a surge of warmth, followed by some cold, then warming again. No long term cold spell are in the forecast.

Cold air building in Canada will try to make a run into the Northeast later in the week, but strong High pressure will reinforce its self to our south and allow warmer air to return

What I am seeing however is this pattern will remain until Thanksgiving, arctic air will build tough in Alaska and the Yukon as night begins its winter stay. This air will eventually push south but likely not until December.

The jet stream over the next 10 days will be zonal, keeping colder air north and warm air south. Small dips or rises will dictate our weather but no major dips are foreseen to produce large storms or a cold outbreak.
