Weather Rollercoaster: Sun, Snow, and Holiday Travel in New England

Get ready for a weather mix-up as we dive into one of the busiest travel weeks of the year! Today, New England is basking in sunshine and seasonable temperatures, but keep an eye out for some cloudy spots and scattered snow showers in the higher elevations. The real kicker? A strong northwest wind that's going to gust between 30-40 mph this afternoon before calming down in the evening. Expect highs in the upper 40s to low 50s in the south, and upper 30s to low 40s in the north. Overnight, the wind dies down a bit, and the clouds thin out. However, a few lingering snow showers and flurries might stick around in the northern mountains. Temperatures will dip into the 30s in the south and the 20s and 30s in the north.Monday brings more sun and seasonable temps as high pressure holds steady. The morning might be a bit breezy, but the wind should ease up by the afternoon. Highs will be in the upper 40s to low 50s in the south and the 40s in the north. On Tuesday, a low-pressure system rolls in, bringing rain by the morning commute and tapering off to showers by evening. We're looking at about half an inch of rain, which could help make up for our fall season's rainfall shortage. Highs will reach the low 50s. Wednesday looks good for travel, with blustery and cool conditions and highs in the 40s. But here's where things get interesting: we're tracking a potential storm for Thanksgiving. Right now, it's looking like a mix of rain and snow, but the exact details are still up in the air. If the storm hugs the coast, we could see rain along the shore and snow inland. If it veers offshore, the coast might get more snow. Stay tuned for updates!
