Good morning folks, Frosty The Frostman did not come to town last night, and while some patchy frost is still expected up in southern VT and a few other spots, it’s mostly a non-issue this morning.

We still have Ian’s skeleton rummaging around the Mid-Atlantic region thinking he’s staying for Halloween, but in actuality, he’ll be getting the boot out of here by Thursday. #goodriddance

For us southwestern New Englanders, we’ve got a few frosty areas possible for tomorrow morning with partly sunny to mostly cloudy skies through mid-week with a few showers south of the Pike at that time, followed by warming into the low 70s by late week and then weekend cool-down episode, but before we jump into the details, let’s check a note from our local and delicious sponsor, #TandemBagelCo, with their newest location in West Springfield, MA.

WEATHER REPORT
Good morning everybody, everybody’s a busy body so let’s get down to business with the eyes and brains in our busy bodies below:

–For today we still have Ian’s remnants spinning around east of the Mid-Atlantic coast obliterating the drought down in Jersey
–For us, it’s just sending periods of clouds into our region today, especially the further south you go (more sunny periods in northern MA, SVT and SWNH)
–Highs will reach the upper 50s to low 60s, and northeast winds will continue to gust to 20mph or so today
–For tonight, lows will generally sit down into the 35-40º range, but some lower 30s possible SVT with patchy frost in spots in northwest MA, SVT and SWNH
–On Tuesday, it’s more of the same (partly sunny to mostly cloudy, highs upper 50s/low 60s, maybe a shower in N.CT) as an upper low has caught Ian’s remnant low center
–This causes our proximal weather systems to seize up and slow down before it is all flushed out to sea by an incoming massive high pressure system for late week
–Lows Tuesday night in the low to mid 40s, with a few showers possible
–Tuesday night and Wednesday represents our best chance to get some showers into parts of the WMass region as one last pulse is sent northward before the system pulls east and out to sea (OTS)
–Highs Wednesday will reach the low to mid 60s with lows in the 40s under partly sunny to mostly cloudy skies
–High pressure overspreads the region Thursday and Friday with a lovely pair of days, mostly sunny, calmer wind, highs upper 60s to low 70s, enjoy!
–Thursday night lows will be in the 45-50º range but cooler Friday night as a cold front runs through the region
–Then we get a cool weekend to swing through with highs only in the mid 50s with lows in the 30s as Autumn reasserts itself
