Weather
systems will become stationary across the Great Lakes and northeastern US as an
intense storm does a loop the loop off the eastern seaboard. Luckily for us,
with fair weather situated over our area, we’ll maintain uneventful and
beautiful conditions through much of this week. The next chance of some rain
will probably arrive a week from Tuesday. Even then it will most likely be
spotty at most.
Today
High pressure is sitting overhead, providing lots of sun and mostly tranquil conditions. Temperatures started out chilly, but they will moderate as we get farther into today. We can see that coastal storm well offshore. Other than some higher waves that could lead to some coastal flooding, this won’t affect the region. One thing the powerful deepening coastal storm will do as it meanders off the coast, is stall all those weather systems over the Great Lakes and back into the Rockies. There is a chance this becomes subtropical. The NHC has the 7-day development odds at 40%. So, there's a chance this could be given the name Josephine.

The rest
of the week.
With the
pattern becoming stagnant the high pressure will be very persistent; allowing
what we see today to continue for at least the next seven days, and maybe even
a couple of days beyond that.
I don’t expect
any rain right through Wednesday, with temperatures become very mild for this
time of year.
Dry weather
may even continue for a few days beyond our 7-day forecast, plus we expect a
good deal of sunshine most days! Yes, an incredible stretch any time of year,
but especially in late October! Most of
the region won’t see much in the way of wind this coming week. But along the
coast there could be a somewhat gusty northeast wind,
That coastal
will finely start to drift east by Thursday. This will help clear the traffic
jam of weather systems, allowing a disturbance to move across Canada. There is
a slight chance a few isolated showers could show up over northern New York
State and northern New England. That disturbance will have a very weak cold
front drop in for Thursday night and Friday, this will allow some cooler air to
move into the region. The area of low pressure will be moving into Southeast
Canada, keeping the threat for a few rain showers over parts of Maine. But most
shouldn’t see them. We’re going to have
another area of strong high pressure build in from the west on Friday. So, with
low pressure up over the Canadian Maritimes and pushing east, winds are going
to become gusty across northern parts of the region, especially for Maine where
wind gust of 20-30 mph will be possible.
As the high-pressure
setup overhead for the weekend, temperatures will be slightly cooler, but with
the abundant sunshine I don’t think anyone will really mind. These dry and tranquil conditions could extend
into the first part of next week.
With the weather being so quiet for much of the week, I won’t be posting all that much, at least for the first part of the week!
I do have
part two of the winter outlook ready, I just fine-tuning things a bit. I will
be releasing the outlook some time over the next week or two.
