Rich`s Weather Discussion
Any hope I had for some rain late week has been dashed by the latest model runs. There may be some very light showers in eastern area on Friday.
Meanwhile, a sunny, dry seasonably chilly day ahead with light winds. Those light winds go calm tonight and under clear skies, expect temps to drop like a rock.
We have become abnormally dry, and this is reflected in the Drought Report. This report is updated every Thursday.
Fire Weather Alerts are active.
On this day in 1940, Disney released Fantasia, a groundbreaking film that combined animation with orchestra music, abstract themes, and stereo sound?Äîand introduced Mickey's iconic sorcerer's apprentice persona.
High pressure gradually settles into the region today with cool but near normal temperatures. Sunny skies will be the case also. Wind gusts will be strongest (much lighter than yesterday) in the morning and then diminish as the afternoon progresses.
High pressure remains in control tonight with clear and cold conditions expected. Sunny once again Thursday with a northeasterly breeze and near normal temperatures.
Long Range Forecast:
Some changes will be afoot within the upper level flow pattern the second half of this week through the weekend as blocking starts to develop in the North Atlantic. This blocking will result in an upper low forming near the Canadian Maritimes Thursday. Global models generally agree this upper low will gyrate over the western Atlantic through the weekend, and possibly through early next week. Embedded waves within the upper low may rotate through the area Friday through the weekend, bringing chances for precipitation while confidence in the location and timing of these waves is low due to the wobbling nature of the system. A seasonably cold airmass will be in place Thursday and temperatures will struggle to moderate through the weekend with persistent NE to NW surface winds.
High pressure will retreat northward Friday as a splitting trough slides south of New England. All the while, the upper low will retrograde westward and will spread chances for precipitation into the area. Confidence in the timing and placement of this precipitation is low, while thermal profiles may support frozen precipitation early Friday morning and again Friday night, mainly in the north.
The splitting trough sliding south of New England Friday will start to interact with the upper low Saturday. Global models suggest this interaction will cause the upper low to retrograde farther west bringing continued chances of precipitation on Saturday.

Regional Synopsis
SYNOPSIS...
High pressure builds into New England Wednesday and Thursday. The next chance for precipitation looks to come towards the end of the work week but right now it looks very light at best. Another chance of light precipitation will be early to mid next week.
SYNOPSIS...
High pressure builds into the region through Thursday bringing dry and cool conditions. A storm system over the Canadian Maritimes will move westward Friday into the weekend, bringing with it at least increasing cloud cover but rainfall chances are more uncertain. Higher astronomical tides this weekend could result in splashover or at worst minor coastal flooding for eastern coastal areas. Gradual warming trend this weekend.
LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
Key Points:
* Offshore storm system shifts west Fri into the weekend bringing cloudy conditions. Still uncertainty on rain chances.
* Higher astro tides Fri & and weekend may result in splashover or worst case, minor coastal flooding for parts of the eastern coastline.
* Gradual warming trend in temps through weekend, potentially above normal by Sunday.

Manchester, NH: Last update: 11/13 - 6:58 AM
A much lighter breeze as we stay cool on Wednesday and Thursday. We really could use a good soaking rain, but there isn't much in the forecast through the next week.
Daytime temperatures will stay in the 40s the rest of the work week. We're expecting sunny skies today and Thursday (clouds in western and northern areas by Thursday afternoon).
Lows will be dropping into the teens and 20s the next few nights under fair skies as well.
Early sun gives way to clouds on Friday. A few mixed showers will be possible up north in the afternoon and evening. Spotty showers early Saturday then mainly cloudy. Highs will be slightly milder over the weekend heading for the 50s. Another chance of showers by Monday.
