The week is starting off as more of the same with dry and generally mild conditions (by mid-November standards). Heading toward the end of the week, things are finally looking to change pace with the region’s best chance at widespread rain in quite some time.
MONDAY
A decaying system will pass to the north of New England on Monday, dragging a weakening cold front across the region. After the morning line of scattered rain and snow showers, scattered upslope showers will continue through the afternoon in the mountains. Outside of the mountains, skies will begin to clear behind the front. It will be another breezy day once the front clears the area. With the weak nature of the front, there won’t be an air mass change, so temperatures will be very similar to the weekend.

TUESDAY & WEDNESDAY
High pressure and ridging will build into New England ahead of a deepening trough in the Great Lakes. This will provide quiet and dry weather with mainly sunny skies for southern and central New England. There will generally be more clouds across the northern tier of New England during this time.
