Key Points
1
The Baltimore area is expected to have cool overnight conditions early in the week, with temperatures falling into the upper 50s Monday night and upper 60s Wednesday night; light north winds Monday should make the weather feel especially comfortable.
2
Massachusetts could see northwest winds of 20 to 25 mph Monday, with gusts near 30 mph. Overnight temperatures are forecast to drop into the 40s to low 50s, while coastal areas may remain breezy even after winds ease inland.

NWS meteorologist Bryce Williams said Tuesday will be Boston’s coolest day of the week, with upper-60s highs along the coast, before warmer and more humid air returns Wednesday and Thursday. He cautioned that the timing and location of rain from the late-Thursday-to-Friday frontal system remain uncertain.

The weekend storm in southeastern Massachusetts could produce roughly 0.5 to 1.5 inches of rain in many communities, while isolated areas may receive 2 to 4 inches within a few hours. Officials are advising residents to avoid flood-prone roads and never drive through flooded streets.

Maine’s migrating birds use different travel patterns: Canada geese and double-crested cormorants fly in V formations by day, while snow buntings commonly migrate at night and American pipits travel by day. The article notes that large blackbird flocks can overwhelm backyard feeders, and suggests temporarily removing feeders or switching from sunflower to safflower seed.
The Northeast faces a split forecast this week: warm, sunny weather through midweek gives way to rain threats late Friday and over the weekend. NWS meteorologist Bryce Williams said Tuesday will bring Boston's coolest day, with upper-60s highs along the coast before warmer air returns Wednesday and Thursday. Late-weekend storms could dump 0.5 to 1.5 inches of rain across southeastern Massachusetts, with isolated areas receiving 2 to 4 inches in just hours.
Sunny Start: Baltimore and Boston Warm Up
Baltimore will enjoy a pleasant early week with highs near 79 degrees Monday and Tuesday, climbing into the mid- to upper 80s by Thursday. NWS forecasters expect sunny skies and light north winds Monday that will make conditions feel especially comfortable, with overnight lows dropping into the upper 50s. Boston sees similar patterns: after lingering Monday showers clear, Tuesday brings the week's coolest day with gusty northwest winds of 20 to 25 mph and gusts near 30 mph. Overnight temperatures will plunge into the 40s to low 50s across Massachusetts, though coastal areas may remain breezy.
Frontal System Brings Rain Late Week
Rain chances increase late Friday and over the weekend as two weather systems approach the Northeast. A frontal system could bring rain late Thursday into Friday in southern New England, but NWS meteorologist Bryce Williams cautioned that the exact timing and location of rainfall remain uncertain. The more significant threat arrives over the weekend, when a separate system may produce heavy rain and thunderstorms across southeastern Massachusetts.
Officials are warning residents to prepare for possible flooding. Southeastern Massachusetts could see roughly 0.5 to 1.5 inches of rain in most communities, though isolated areas may receive 2 to 4 inches in just a few hours. A flood watch is already in effect for the region. Authorities are urging residents to avoid flood-prone roads and never drive through flooded streets, even if the water seems shallow.
Fall Bird Migration Peaks Across Maine
Maine birders should watch the skies this week as fall migration intensifies through Thanksgiving. Canada geese and double-crested cormorants fly in V formations during daylight, while snow buntings commonly migrate at night and American pipits travel by day. Large blackbird flocks will also sweep through the region, sometimes overwhelming backyard feeders with their sheer numbers. Birders can manage flocks by temporarily removing feeders or switching from sunflower seeds to safflower seeds, which the massive groups prefer less.
