Downright tropical out there for November. Showers and downpours, plus a chance of thunder, will get going soon. Latest track at 11 #wbz

Bumping the 2-4"+ rain zone a little farther NW for tomorrow. Localized 4"+ in SE Mass still on the table with localized flooded out roads possible. Lots of leaves coming down tomorrow, too. #wbz

A record warmest low temp for the date set today in Boston. Currently looks like we'll come up a couple degrees short tomorrow but may be close. #wbz

Will it or won't it? Polar vortex is record weak for the time of year, but will we see a true SSW (wind reversal)? Models kicking the can down the road a bit...now showing best chance mid-month As of yet not showing a lot of "down where we live impact" with minimal coupling to the surface. Transient cold shot would be my best guess for now

On track to end our dry streak with a bang tomorrow Still highlighting south of Boston for 2"+ of rain and localized 4"+ with some tropical rain rates Go a month without rain, then get a month's worth in a day

There have only been three times on record when Boston hit 70F+ (4) days in a row during November And they've all been in the last 6 years (2020, 2022, and now 2026) Records date to 1872

New Euro seasonal data out today remains consistent for winter Milder than usual and stormy here in New England (Our annual WBZ winter outlook airs soon and we'll be digging into this)

Gradually will start to feel more like November as we head into the weekend/next week. Keeping in mind that average highs by next week are in the low 50s. Best chance of a legit colder shot looks like the end of next week. #wbz

Our long dry streak almost at an end. Watching for a heavy rain risk later Friday - Friday night in particular, where over 2" could fall. Most likely spot would be SE Mass. #wbz

Had to sneak in one more beach day. Smoke 'em if you got 'em 1 shy of the record so far in Boston

Potential to end our dry streak with a bang Friday PM-night Unusually saturated tropical air running up along a stalled boundary will lead to a band of heavy rainfall Would not be shocked if we end up with a thin band of 4"+ amounts

Just shy of the record high today with more 70s ahead. If Friday hits 70F (which is the current forecast) it will be the longest streak of November 70s ever recorded in Boston. #wbz

Tomorrow is the peak of this stretch. Nearly full sunshine and extremely warm temperatures for November. Might make a run at 80F in the Merrimack Valley. #wbz

Some absolutely insane rainfall in Florida 24-hour return intervals are 1 in 200+ (<0.5% chance of occurring in a given year) Actual rain amounts for the event so far are in excess of 2 feet just south of Melbourne

Even crazier, this area wasn't even highlighted for a moderate or high risk of excessive rainfall. Sunday morning WPC outlook pictured
