Several Days of Sunny and Dry!

Surface Chart, Radar and Satellite

 

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.
