Quiet And Cooler Weather Ahead

The cold front that spawned yesterday's/last night's showers & storms is getting hung up. The upper level wind flow is running parallel to the front not allowing it to move more swiftly to the east.  As a result, the Cape and the Islands will endure more rainfall for the next couple of hours. Otherwise, increasing sunshine is heading our way today.  With the sunshine, winds will still prevail from the south and west ahead of a secondary front.  This will allow us to squeeze out one more unseasonablt warm late October day. The cooler air will funnel in behind the second cold front later today.

Friday thru the Weekend:  Cooler air works in tomorrow.  The cool'ish' temperatures in the 50s will hang with us thru Halloween weekend. Overall, it's going to be dry besides a slim chance of a spot shower in Northern New England on Friday due to a shortwave and again Saturday night into early Sunday morning.

Atlantic Tropical Update: There are a few areas of interest, but generally-speaking, only one thunderstorm complex shows more than a 50% chance of maturing into a tropical storm. If it matures, it will be named 'Shary'.

One Day 'Til...the Weekend!
