The month is new and the time has changed. Welcome to November. It is my least-liked month because it is, statistically, the gloomiest of the year, the sunsets happen before 5pm, the final leaves fall to their death and must be cleaned up and the landscape turns brown and barren. The average high temperatures fall from 57 at the beginning to 47 by the end of the month. Thanksgiving is one of the good things to look forward to. What is your least-liked month?

Well, another Halloween has come and gone with the wind. We had 77 trick or treaters visit our home. Some of them expressed their thanks for the warm weather. Wish I could say that I had something to do with that. The only thing I did was predict on my last weathercast on Tuesday noon that it would hit 73 degrees on Halloween and at 2:11pm yesterday, the high temperature in Boston hit 73!. Now it's back to reality today as the highs max out in the upper 50s to about 60 degrees. Early morning sprinkles and light showers are drying up so there will be a transition to a brightening sky followed by decreasing cloudiness and increasing sunshine from later this morning into the afternoon. Just remember that sunset occurs at 4:37pm today. UGH!

A wave of low pressure is lagging behind over eastern Virginia. That system will poke some high cloudiness into southern New England later tonight then thicken tomorrow and the northwestern flank of its rain shield could spill over Cape Cod and southeastern Massachusetts later tomorrow afternoon and evening. Boston could briefly receive some sprinkles tomorrow evening then the system exits and clearing will follow by dawn Tuesday. The wave will be kicked out by an approaching cold front which will introduce some patches of clouds Tuesday afternoon with nothing more than a few spotty quick-hitting showers mainly up north later in the day. After the cold frontal passage, the wind will become brisk and gusty Wednesday morning as cold air rushes in from Canada. From then on through Friday, temperatures will only peak out in the middle 40s which is a solid 10 degrees below the average for the first week of November. Presently, I am not expecting any real stormy weather with this cold outbreak but an upper air impulse might trigger a few snow showers later Thursday or Friday. Milder weather will return with sunshine next weekend.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend.
