Weekend Outlook: October 17-20,Β 2025 Some nice weather is on the way for most of the weekend, but more rain is in our future. Low pressure south of Nova Scotia continues to send clouds into eastern New England. loop provided by College of DuPage. Our stubborn ocean storm will finally lose its influence on the region tonight with winds diminishing as high pressure builds in from the west.

Weekly Outlook: October 13-19,Β 2025 Some slow improvement is expected as the week goes on, but the start of the week will be rather nasty. Low pressure will remain off the East Coast for much of the week. Loop provided by Tropical Tidbits. Low pressure continues to meander around off the Mid-Atlantic coast today, with more rain, some of it heavy, strong winds, especially near the coast, and coastal flooding around the time of high tide, especially along east and northeast-facing coastlines.

Weekend Outlook: October 10-13,Β 2025 We've had warm and dry weather for much of the past few months, but that is going to change this weekend. Freeze Warnings (dark blue) and Frost Advisories (light blue) are in effect for much of the Northeast. Image provided by the National Weather Service. A large area of high pressure will settle across the region tonight, bringing us clear skies and light winds - the ideal setup for radiational cooling.

Weekly Outlook: October 6-12,Β 2025 It's going to feel like summer for a few more days, but you'll be trading the flip-flops for sweatshirts later this week. Temperatures should reach the lower to middle 80s this afternoon well away from the South Coast. Image provided by Weathermodels.com High pressure remains on control to start the week with more sunshine and unseasonably warm temperatures. Many locations away from the South Coast will top 80 again today, with a seabreeze keeping the South Coast and Cape Cod in the 70s.

It's been very dry across the region over the past 3 months, and that won't change this weekend. Image provided by the Northeast Regional Climate Center. A large area of high pressure will sink southward over the next few days. With it right overhead tonight, we'll have clear skies and light winds - the recipe for radiational cooling.

Weekly/Tropical Outlook: September 29 – October 5,Β 2025 There's a four letter word that begins with the letter R and rhymes with main that we really need, but you won't find it in our forecast for the next week.

Weekend/Tropical Outlook: September 26-29,Β 2025 Quieter weather is on the way for the weekend around here, but the Atlantic is anything but quiet right now. There are two active storms in the Atlantic, and a third one could form soon. Loop provided by NOAA. A cold front will push offshore tonight, with the much-needed rain finally coming to an end. However, that front is going to stall out south of New England, so skies will only slowly start to clear out on Friday as high pressure builds in.
