But for most of New England this was another wet & unseasonable warm November Day.
We hit 55^ at NECN (Newton MA) today, with about .2″ Rainfall.
Meteorologists at The National Weather Service Office in Taunton Massachusetts have tallied up some figures regarding our warm November 2009.
Listed below.

“Please Circulate this free forecast to Copenhagen summit delegates and media…
WeatherAction releases free long range forecast for Copenhagen Climate Summit
7th-18th Dec 2009 & warns:
Climate summit to be hit by blustery deluges, probably turning to
snow or blizzards and icy blasts in the region at times – especially
heavy when President Obama visits Denmark & Norway 8-10th.”

It is colder tonight in El Paso Texas, with snow falling, than it is in Concord NH.
That Texas storm is another powerhouse that will pass to our west Thursday, with heavy rain and wind. The record for Concord NH Thursday December 3rd is 60^ set in 1932, we may be close to breaking that record. The Thursday storm is all rain in New England. Wind may drive the Full ‘Cold’ Moon tide northward, with coastal flooding at the 11 AM High Tide.
.
We do have a window of cold for snowmaking before and after the Thursday storm. Another storm on Saturday may be cold enough for snow here. There will be record cold in the United States by next week. The Pacific Ocean is full of energy, it is only a matter of time before we are all shoveling.
.
Here are some preliminary numbers for our warm November.

RLN

Plenty of Sunshine with less wind today will make this Sunday the Pick of the weekend. Highs will average above normal climbing into the lwr to mid 50’s in southern New England. Considering we should be in the mid 40’s this time of year, for the end of November we are doing great! Cooler air remains in place across the far north today with a few more clouds and highs only in the 30’s and lwr 40’s. It has been a great run this month. But the writing is on the wall and the inevitable cool down is on the way starting this week.

Monday we will be tracking a cold front across New England. This will come with a few showers mostly west in the morning, with steady showers at the coast for the afternoon. The mild flow ahead of the front will keep temps in the 50’s right at the coast…especially Southeast. Winds will pick up a bit too in the afternoon. The front will be off the coast by Monday night and a seasonably cool airmass will charge in for Tuesday. Highs will only be in the 30’s north and lwr-mid 40’s south, nothing too cool for this time of year….but it will seem very chilly after this very mild month…which has averaged 2-3 degrees above normal. Dry weather will remain in place through Wednesday, with our focus turning to the Gulf.

This next weather maker will be loaded with moisture. This wave of energy, which has origins in the Pacific, will tap Gulf of mexico Moisture and become a strengthening Low as it moves up the East coast and should track right through New England. This will come with some warm, tropical air…so I am expecting mostly rain to develop Wednesday Night into Thursday. Rain will be heavy at times with a few inches of rain possible. It will also be a quick moving system and the jetstream will help to keep this moving along. Behind this low will be cooler dry air to follow as pressure will rise behind this storm and allow a dry and cool 1st weekend of December.

Looking West, Arctic air will be plunging into the US this week and will start to become a major player in our December pattern for the weeks ahead. Winter is knock knock knockin’ on our door! Any winterizing of the home left to do should be done this week if you have been procrastinating in the mild November weather.

(NECN: Matt Noyes) - NECN meteorologist Matt Noyes delivers a personal forecast to Navya Goud of Stony Brook Middle School in Westford, Mass. Matt says it'll be windy and chilly, with high temp around 48 and winds around 12-20mph. Dress for a cool day Navya!

If you would like your own personal forecast, ask your parents if you can send an e-mail to MySchool@necn.com. And be sure to visit our weather blog, WeatherNewEngland.com.

This image from the CrownOfMaine.com cam from 9 AM shows the fourth snow in nine days here in New England. The snow and ice have changed to rain now, as much warmer winds move in.
Scattered showers with periodic downpours will be in place for most of the day, especially in central and Northern New England. The rainfall will be more spotty in nature south…with spotty light rain and drizzle…with extended periods of dry weather, especially by afternoon. So not all is lost today…but obviously not ideal weather to start the weekend. A warm front is pushing northward today. It will take much of the day to finally push through southern New England, but once it is throughn winds will pick up from the SSE direction and a rise in temperatures will be underway. By late afternoon, highs will be climbing into the mid 60’s in southern New England. It will be a balmy, mild, almost tropical airmass in place through the evening. Northern New England will remain on the cooler and more unsettled side of the front. Periodic downpours through the day expected. Rain will be heavy at times. Northern New England will see upto 2-3 inches of rain before this all ends Sunday Morning.

A cold front will be on the move Saturday night. This will be a strong energized front with plenty of lift in the atmosphere to squeeze out any available tropical moisture. Strong winds aloft may mix down to the surface ahead of this front and may produce damaging winds with gusts over 40+ mph for the Cape and the Islands and Down east Maine tonight. The main bulk of rain will be pushing through as a squall line after 7 PM tonight. The line will be reaching the coast around 10-11 PM. This line of downpours will likley come with torrential rain, gusty winds and embedded thunder. It will all be off the coast by sunrise tomorrow. Generally 1-1.5″ of rain expected in southern New England

Skies will be clearing Sunday with breezy NW winds. Highs will be seasonal in the 50’s and lwr 60’s.
Building high pressure will allow for a dry and pleasant start to the week, before our next chance of showers by Tuesday.

Early clouds will give way to increasing sunshine and breezy conditions today. The sunshine will stick around for the rest of the holiday weekend. Excellent weather for leaf peeping or apple picking! Keep an eye to the west! There is a lot of cold air out there…and it will be pushing eastward to provide chilly times for the midweek! Full forecast discussion inside!

Plenty of clouds out there this morning, as an area of low pressure is pushing through southern New England. A brief soaking rainfall during the overnight is now off the coast and clouds are already starting to break in the interior. A cold front will be pushing off the coast by late morning. Behind this front, breezy drying Northwest winds will shift in by the afternoon. Skies will be clearing from west to east as the day progresses. Lingering clouds in southeast MA may take until the early afternoon to finally break. A mild start on Saturday morning in the 50’s will be a nice spring board for our temps to warm up into the 60’s this afternoon with increasing sunshine. Some areas in the south will try to reach 70 today. Clear skies and lighter winds this evening as weak high pressure builds in. Expect lows to drop down into the 30’s and 40’s overnight. A frosty morning in the NW valleys by Sunday morning.

After a cool start Sunday morning, Sunshine will fill the crisp fall air. A weak cold front will move through during the afternoon with a few afternoon cumulus…or even a passing shower in the northern mountains. Highs will be cooler Sunday with a steady westerly breeze. Highs will mainly be in the 50’s and lwr 60’s. Just Ideal fall weather! High pressure builds again for Sunday night into Monday allowing for mainly clear skies will crisp cool clear nights and a seasonably cool pleasant Monday for our holiday.

By Monday night clouds will be on the increase ahead of our next cold front. This front will have a bit more juice along with it. So the chance of periodic showers exists for Tuesday…nothing heavy. Just enough cold air in place where the mountain tops will be seeing snow showers. Behind this front we will begin a transition to the real chill for the midweek. Downright winter conditions are occurring from the Rockies to the Northern plains today. In fact the Phillies and Rockies may be playing baseball tonight in temperatures in the 20’s! If played, this will likely be remembered as the coldest playoff game ever played. This should be quite a sight! The cold air mass will be shifting and lifting eastward by the time of it’s arrival later Wednesday and Thursday. Highs will average in the 40’s to the north and lwr 50’s to the south by that time. Plenty of sunshine as high pressure slides from Canada into the ohio valley.

We will track our next rain maker to arrive hear by Friday. This should provide a soaking rain to end the week, with cooler breezy and drier conditions by next weekend behind this departing low with winds out of the northeast. There is plenty of cool in this pattern with a persistant trough in the northeast. Expect more frosty mornings ahead with temps cool enough that some of you will be tempted to put the heat on or start the woodstove in the coming days! We are at peak color in north this weekend, with the brightes collors being found in the hills and valleys along many country roads. A great weekend for a road trip and for getting outside and exploring!

Heavy rain is pushing into New England to start the weekend, but drier weather returns by Sunday with above normal temperatures! Let us not forget as skies clear to end the weekend, Sunday Night we will see a beautiful full Harvest Moon in the evening sky. Full Weather Discussion Inside!

Pockets of heavy rain with embedded thunderstorms are pushing into southern New England Saturday morning. The rain will come down heavy at times with rainfall rates upto 1″ and hour. Where downpours are occurring there will be localized street flooding. The heaviest rain this morning appears to be in Rhode Island, and eastern Massachusetts. This initial batch of rain is along a warm front that will try to push through southern New England today. The heaviest rain will lift into northern New England for the afternoon. The rain will become more showery south, as the warm front pushes to the Mass Pike. Temperatures will climb into the 60’s to near 70 behind the front. Northern New England remains on the cooler wet side of the front with highs mostly staying in the 50’s. Heavier rain will be in Maine this afternoon.
A slow moving cold front will edge it’s way into New England tonight. This will become a boundary for our next wave of rain to ride up along and back into southern New England tonight through early Sunday. Again, the heaviest rain will be found in Eastern MA…especially over the Cape & Islands later tonight with a chance of a few thunderstorms. Inland, the precipitation will be more scattered and light overnight with areas of fog. A total of 1-2″ of rain is likely by Sunday Morning in eastern New England.

Sunday Morning will be a wet start right at the coast. An area of low pressure off our coast will pull away taking it’s early morning rain and cold front along with it. Behind the cold front, a drier westerly wind will develop by the afternoon where clouds will be breaking with increasing afternoon sunshine from west to east. The last to see the sun will be the coast. Highs will be climbing into the 60’s and 70’s behind this front. It will be a very mild & pleasant Sunday Afternoon! With clearing skies, expect a beautiful night for the full Harvest Moon to make its appearance! My favorite time of year!

High pressure will slide in to start off the work week for Monday & Tuesday. An upper level trough will still be in place, so cooler air aloft will allow for cumulus development Monday PM…and even a brief PM shower or sprinkle in the Northwest. Temperatures will cool a bit..a seasonal airmass in the mid 60’s, before another wave of rain will approach for the midweek..arriving here late Tuesday Night through Wednesday Morning.

We are still under the influence of an upper level low pressure system, which is currently over the Canadian border. Counter-clockwise rotation of air around the low is supplying the chill down at the ground, but also up above where it is much colder. The sun has heated the surface already this morning, and the cumulus have begun their vertical ascent. A partly to mostly cloudy appearance to the sky this afternoon with temperatures running below normal mostly in the 50’s. A stray shower or sprinkle can not be ruled out in the NW hills. Skies will be clearing overnight as our upper low starts to pull away and pressure on the rise. Another cool night with lows dipping into the 30’s and 40’s. High pressure on the move for Friday will mean more abundant sunshine. As the high pulls off the coast, winds will shift to the south allowing for slightly warmer temperatures Friday. The cold heavy at the air will not be in a hurry to leave, so the lighter warmer air will override the cooler air forming clouds along a warm front. Showers will develop on this warm front Friday night and push into western New England late.

This weekend we will be tracking an energized slow moving cold front. Saturday will start out showery, cloudy and damp. SSE winds will try to bring in warmer air into the 60’s. Any wind off the water this time of year can make it feel raw, but inland temps will try to get to 70. Showers will transition to pockets of heavy rain by later in the afternoon as a wave of low pressure gathers on the cold front. Tropical moisture will be heading up the coast which could enhance the rainfall. The heavy rains will continue through Saturday Night and Early Sunday morning. In some of these downpours easily 1-3″ of rain could occur if everything comes together. That is the catch! Just how strong and how fast is this front going to be?
If this front is more progressive, we have a shot at lighter amounts of rain and also a improved Sunday forecast to look forward to. If the cold front slows more with this developing wave along it, well…Houston we have a problem. This will mean a heavier rain, localized flooding and rain lingering through the morning on Sunday. Right now, we will play optimistic with the weekend and call for slow improvement Sunday with a damp start and breaking PM clouds. High pressure builds in for the start of next week for a couple days of sunshine before another batch of rain is here by midweek.

Our beautiful crisp start to the weekend is a forgotten memory. Clouds are here to stay with rain heading into New England for Sunday. After a warmer than normal start to the week, the fall chill returns for the midweek…this time with lots of clouds. Full weather discussion inside!

Rain has overspread the region early this morning. It has already tapered to light showers and drizzle in some areas. An area of low pressure will approach Southern New England by tomorrow afternoon. The Rain will remain showery in nature, but there will be occasional downpours where the rain will be heavy at times. Winds will pick up out of the Southeast and could gust to 30 mph on the Cape. Increasing ocean swell, especially by late in the day into Sunday Night. By the time the rain winds down Sunday night, many areas will have received between .25″-1.0″ of soaking rain. Expect the clouds to be breaking overnight.

An upper level ridge will build in behind our departing low. Look for sunny skies and warming temperatures as the kids head back to school. Highs on Monday will be in the 70’s with some nearing 80 degrees!
A cold front will approach late in the day which will spark a few evening showers.

Unfortunatey the ridge will be short lived because another trough is digging into the northeast for the midweek. This cool pool of air will help to destabilize the air and keep plenty of clouds around in the Tuesday-Thursday time frame. A few scattered light showers or sprinkles can not be ruled out each day.
Breezy West-Northwest winds will pour in colder air from Canada and break down any warmth in place left over from Monday. A breezy cooler and cloudy midweek with highs in the 50’s and lwr 60’s.

After a bit of cloudy funk through the midweek, we should be able to shake the clouds and the cool and return our temperatures back to more seasonal levels…60’s…with more sunshine as we head into next weekend…the first weekend of October.

Above normal temperatures Wednesday are on the way out as we head towards the weekend. In fact, a noticeable chill will be in the air on Friday with highs struggling to climb into the 60’s. The weekend starts off fantastic with sunshine and 60’s, but rain will likely develop by Sunday. Full forecast discussion inside

A cold front is on the move Wednesday night. Clouds with scattered showers and storms will weaken over New England overnight. Thursday will start off mild with temps in the 60’s. Lingering low clouds in southern New England with a chance for a few lingering showers..especially along the south coast. The cold front will push off the coast as the morning progresses and take the clouds along with it. Skies will be increasing with sunshine from North to south with clearing skies. After a mild start…it will take just a little sun to quickly bump our temperatures back into the 70’s. So despite a cold front off shore…temps still remain warm and above normal Thursday. Colder air will be on the move across the far north, but mostly wait until Thursday night to finally start to settle in over the region.

As High pressure builds south from Canada, winds will shift back to the cool Northeast direction. Ocean-effect clouds may linger along the coast with the breezy cool wind over the warmer water. Temperatures will average in the lwr 60’s with plenty of sunshine into the weekend as the high crests over New England.

After a cool start, a gradual moderation by Saturday, highs still in the 60’s with sunshine. We will be tracking an upper lever low and warm front which will be approaching late Saturday night, but mainly Sunday. The second half of the weekend will feature periodic rain…and even a few downpours. The rain will be gone later Sunday, with a mostly dry start to the week. Looking ahead…temperatures will likely average below normal next week. Not much warmth in this current pattern.

The “Fall-Feel” has already been doing the dirty work across the far north where crisp cool overnights have allowed the colors in the trees to already start to come out! Moderate color being reported in Aroostook, ME…Littleton, NH and Stowe, VT….It’s coming! Many of these areas could be in peak as early as Oct. 4th!
