Long-Range Forecast – October 9
The hallmark of the next 10-15 days will be a slow-moving weather pattern. After a storm scoots out to sea south of Southern New England bringing chilly showers on Saturday, there will be three mainly dry days into the middle of next week. Eventually, another storm system will move into the Northeast and showers and thunderstorms are possibly Wednesday and/or Thursday of next week. The rain could be heavy at times depending on the exact track of the storm.
More dry weather is likely at the end of next workweek, and through next weekend. We’re still keeping our eye out for a brief cold shot around October 20. In this pattern, we also need to watch for storms to develop near the Southeastern United States and move north. There are signs that could happen in the last ten days of October.
Much of Southeastern New England remains in a moderate drought, but that may be short-lived with a couple of rain events ahead, and already a decent amount of rain so far this month.
