PM update: Chilly tonight but calmer. Mild again tomorrow with less sun.

How did you find breeziness levels in conjunction with bright sunshine today — too chilly, tolerable, enjoyable? Conditions are calm and cool (about 30 degrees in some spots) tonight. Tomorrow’s high temperatures again eye average levels for this point in November. We’ll have to trade much less sunshine for less breeziness, though.

Through Tonight: High pressure gets back in control, calming our generally northerly breezes quickly after sunset. Even as a few clouds build toward dawn, temperatures will have already taken advantage of clear skies. This means a noticeable loss of warmth — dipping down 30 degrees or so during the night — bottoming out by dawn in the mid-20s to mid-30s (downtown).

Tomorrow (Wednesday): Sunshine may slowly get a bit more filtered throughout the day. High-level clouds build through early afternoon, with thicker mid-level clouds aiming to move in around the late-afternoon hours. High temperatures aim for the mid-50s to around 60 degrees, with southerly breezes gusting to around 15 mph midday into the afternoon helping to reinforce milder air.

Overnight, south-southwesterly breezes are a bit slower to calm but should get there after midnight. Given this and slow-to-clear cloud cover, we shouldn’t get quite as chilly. Low temperatures should bottom out in the 30s for almost everyone in the region.

Tropical Atlantic: Looking back and ahead

As hurricane season officially ends Nov. 30, we can start to look back to evaluate its features. One oddity is where storms tended to track. Would you have guessed which state this year would have been most often in National Hurricane Center forecast track cones? Maine would not have been my guess:

Who here had #Maine in their 2023 hurricane season bingo cards for the state that was in the cone the most? Not me that’s for sure.

Posted by Storm Chaser Adam Lucio on Monday, November 13, 2023 We also need to watch one disorganized area of stormy weather nearing Jamaica that has a high probability to develop over the next seven days. If this disturbance develops into a tropical storm, its name would be Vince.
