It seems that every two to four years we slip into a major drought in southern New England. We had a severe drought in 2016, a rather deep drought in 2020 and 2022, and now one in autumn of 2024. It took a long time to get into it, and it will take long time to get out of it….

Rain is in the forecast for later this week in parts of New England.

It’s finally coming into view. Our first significant rain since late September looks like it will hit by Thursday as a developing storm sweeps into New England. Of course, now that I’ve committed to that, it probably won’t happen. That’s essentially how our weather has operated over the last few months. We see some signs of a break in...

ake it into consideration that we normally see several inches of precipitation in September, October, and November and this period is traditionally our wettest period of the year.

Winds will be lighter compared to Saturday with temperatures will warm into the mid to upper 50s and low 60s.

Much of the region is dealing with a moderate to severe drought and no major changes are expected the next several days as we remain in a mild and dry pattern.

As we move through this Saturday, expect high temperatures in the upper 50s and lower 60s under a mix of sun and clouds.

We’ll see temps on the seasonably mild side along with a gusty southwest wind, not as windy as yesterday with gusts up to 25mph.  Highs reach the upper 50s south, low to mid 50s northern New England.
