Significant accumulating snowfall outside of the mountains is becoming increasingly unlikely. That said, just about everyone still has a reasonable chance of seeing their first snowflakes of the season. In many lower-elevation locations, any snow that falls may melt as soon as it reaches the ground.

THANK YOU to all of our Vets for their service!!!
Current temperatures: Keene: 42 degrees | Jaffrey: 38 degrees | Nashua: 39 degrees | Boston: 49 degrees. Southern New Hampshire is starting Veterans Day with generally clear to partly cloudy skies and cool temperatures. Conditions should remain fairly pleasant today, with a mix of sunshine and clouds. Afternoon temperatures will climb into the lower to middle 50s, with light winds. Boston is noticeably milder this morning.
Mount Washington is experiencing considerably harsher conditions, with winds gusting to 85 MPH and a wind chill of 1 degree. Blowing snow, freezing fog, and extremely poor visibility are being reported at the summit.
Looking ahead, rain is expected to move into southern New Hampshire Thursday, initially as scattered showers before becoming more widespread during the afternoon and evening. Periods of rain will continue Friday, with temperatures falling enough for some snow to mix in, particularly Friday afternoon and Saturday. Little or no snow accumulation is currently expected across most of southern New Hampshire, although higher elevations could see more wintry conditions. Precipitation should taper off Saturday evening, followed by generally drier weather Sunday through Tuesday. Overnight temperatures will drop into the 20s and 30s early next week.
NWS Watches, Warnings and Advisories: None currently in effect for southern New Hampshire.
From The Weather Channel:
Autumn, we hardly knew ye. That may sound a little overdramatic, but according to our meteorologists, fall is about to get a reality check.
Basically, a deep dip in the jet stream will send temperatures tumbling across the East late this week, with highs dropping about 20 degrees from Wednesday to Friday between Chicago and Atlanta.
By the weekend, lows will fall into the 30s as far south as the Florida Panhandle, bringing the first frosts and freezes of the season to millions. What comes with that cold is less certain. A low-pressure system will strengthen over the Ohio Valley Wednesday night, and a second low could form off the East Coast by Thursday night, setting up a potential nor'easter.
Rain could mix with or change to wet snow in the interior Northeast. After that, the models differ on how close the low hugs the coast, which affects wind, flooding and snow.

Weather Summaries and Full Area Forecast Discussions - North (Edited)
Summary - Northern New England - New Hampshire and Maine
Summary:
A developing coastal storm could bring a period of rain and possibly snow to New England late this week, with impacts potentially beginning Thursday afternoon and continuing into Saturday. Forecast confidence remains low because computer models still disagree on the storm track and how much precipitation will fall. Some accumulating snow and locally hazardous winter driving conditions remain possible, particularly across the foothills and areas farther north. Behind the storm, colder-than-normal conditions are expected to return early next week, with nighttime temperatures potentially dropping well below normal.
Key Messages:
1. A late-week coastal storm remains possible, bringing rain and/or snow. Forecast confidence is low, but winter weather conditions remain possible across at least portions of the forecast area.
What has changed since the last Forecast Update?
No significant changes have been made with this forecast update.
What this means for you:
Southern New Hampshire could see periods of rain late Thursday into Saturday, with some snowflakes potentially mixing in, especially during nighttime and early morning hours. The chances for accumulating snow appear greater farther north and across higher elevations, but even coastal and southern areas cannot completely rule out some snow. It is too early to determine how significant this storm will become, so keep an eye on forecast updates over the next few days. Colder weather is expected to follow, particularly overnight early next week.

What Has Changed
No significant changes have been made with this forecast update.
Key Messages
1\. A late-week coastal storm remains possible, bringing rain and/or snow. Forecast confidence is low, but winter weather conditions remain possible across at least portions of the forecast area.
Discussion
Key Message 1: Potential Late-Week Coastal Storm
A disturbance in the upper atmosphere, known as a shortwave trough, moved across the forecast area earlier this evening. Showers tapered off south of the mountains, but cool, moist air flowing up the mountain slopes will continue through sunrise. Clouds and showers are expected to remain upstream of the mountain ridgelines, potentially lasting into this evening. Conditions should begin improving as the upper-level pattern changes, allowing winds to turn more southwesterly and reducing the flow of moisture up the mountain slopes.
A larger upper-level disturbance, known as a positively tilted 500-millibar trough, will move across the Great Lakes Wednesday night into Thursday. Meanwhile, a surface low-pressure system is expected to develop near the Ohio Valley before moving offshore of the Mid-Atlantic coast Thursday night. The storm is then forecast to move northeast toward Cape Cod on Friday before departing near Newfoundland by late Saturday.
There remains considerable disagreement among computer forecast models regarding the eventual track of this storm and the severity of its potential impacts across the region.
Precipitation and Potential Snow Impacts
The latest forecast guidance has increased precipitation estimates somewhat. Current probabilities for at least 0.50 inches of precipitation are generally between 50 and 70 percent, with the highest chances south of the mountains. This increase is related to a slightly farther westward track of the storm and a longer period of precipitation affecting the region.
Precipitation could begin as early as Thursday afternoon and continue in several rounds through at least part of Saturday. It is still too early to determine whether this wetter forecast trend will continue or whether computer models will shift toward a drier solution again.
As for precipitation type, accumulating snow appears less likely south of the foothills. However, some snowflakes cannot be completely ruled out all the way to the coast, including portions of the southern forecast area. The greatest potential for wintry driving conditions remains across the foothills and areas farther north. The risk will be highest during nighttime and early morning hours, when the lack of daytime heating makes it easier for snow and ice to accumulate.
Forecasters will continue monitoring this developing coastal storm over the next several days as its track, precipitation amounts, and potential impacts become clearer.
Colder Weather Returns Early Next Week
After the coastal storm moves away, high pressure is expected to build southward into the continental United States from the Canadian Prairies. Although temperatures may moderate somewhat across the Great Lakes, the overall weather pattern favors below-normal temperatures across the region.
Daytime high temperatures should generally remain near seasonal averages. However, favorable conditions for radiational cooling early next week could allow overnight temperatures to fall well below normal. Radiational cooling occurs when the ground loses heat rapidly under clear skies and relatively calm winds, allowing temperatures to drop significantly overnight.
Weather Summaries and Full Area Forecast Discussions - South (Edited)
Summary - Southern New England - Massachusetts/Northern CT/Rhode Island
Summary:
A stretch of relatively quiet, seasonable weather continues across southern New England through tonight, with temperatures holding in the 50s and generally dry conditions. The weather pattern becomes much more unsettled Thursday as a slow-moving storm system brings an extended period of rain through Saturday. Cooler air moving into the region may change rain to snow across the higher elevations of the Berkshires and Worcester Hills, although significant snow accumulation is not expected. Drier and cooler weather returns Sunday and continues into the beginning of next week as high pressure builds back into the region.
Key Messages:
- Seasonable conditions continue through tonight.
- A storm system will bring a prolonged period of rain to much of southern New England Thursday through Saturday, with periods of snow in the higher elevations. Significant accumulation is not expected.
- High pressure brings cool and dry conditions back to southern New England for the start of the next work week.
What has changed since the last Forecast Update?
No significant changes to the forecast.
What this means for you
Enjoy the relatively mild and dry weather today, but plan for a wet stretch beginning Thursday and lasting into Saturday. Most communities across southern New England should expect rain rather than snow. Higher elevations could see some accumulating snow, but current expectations favor only minor amounts. Once the storm moves away, Sunday will remain breezy and cooler before a return to dry weather for the start of the new work week.

KEY MESSAGES
\- Seasonable conditions continue through tonight.
\- A storm system will bring a prolonged period of rain to much of southern New England Thursday through Saturday, with periods of snow in the higher elevations. Significant accumulation is not expected.
\- High pressure brings cool and dry conditions back to southern New England for the start of the next work week.
DISCUSSION
KEY MESSAGE 1: Seasonable conditions continue through tonight.
Persistent west-northwest winds will continue through this evening, keeping temperatures seasonable and conditions dry ahead of the next storm system. High temperatures today will be similar to yesterday, reaching the middle 50s.
A weak disturbance moving through before sunrise will produce some wind gusts of 20 to 25 mph across the higher elevations and coastal plain through mid-morning. Winds should gradually diminish during the afternoon.
KEY MESSAGE 2: A prolonged period of rain Thursday through Saturday, with some snow possible in higher elevations. Significant accumulation is not expected.
A large, vertically developed area of low pressure currently over the Ohio Valley will move across the Mid-Atlantic on Thursday. The storm will strengthen as it moves into the waters south of New England Thursday night, eventually tracking toward the Gulf of Maine Friday night.
This slow-moving storm will bring an extended period of unsettled weather, potentially lasting into Saturday as the upper-level weather system gradually moves through the region.
Periods of light to moderate rain will spread across southern New England Thursday as the storm approaches. As the system moves east, cooler air will gradually work into the region. This change in wind direction, combined with cooling higher in the atmosphere, will allow rain to change to snow across portions of the higher terrain, particularly the Berkshires and Worcester Hills, by Thursday night.
However, areas outside the higher elevations will most likely experience a cold rain for much or all of this event. The relatively mild weather experienced over the past week has left the ground and lower atmosphere too warm to support significant snow accumulation.
Forecast models also indicate that atmospheric conditions may not be particularly favorable for producing heavy snow. A pocket of drier air could move into the region Thursday night, further limiting potential snowfall amounts.
Current forecast guidance suggests that most locations will see little or no accumulating snow. There is a 10 to 30 percent probability of at least 3 inches of snow in the Worcester Hills, although these estimates may be somewhat high because the calculations assume a relatively favorable snow-to-liquid ratio of 10 inches of snow for every inch of liquid precipitation. Actual snowfall could be less.
For early-season snow events like this, forecasters also look at expected changes in snow depth, which can provide a more realistic estimate of how much snow will actually accumulate on the ground. This guidance continues to support a relatively low-impact event, with only minor accumulations expected in the highest elevations.
Forecasters will continue monitoring updated forecast models, particularly as more detailed, higher-resolution guidance becomes available.
KEY MESSAGE 3: High pressure brings cool and dry conditions back to southern New England for the start of the next work week.
As the storm system gradually moves farther into Atlantic Canada, high pressure will begin building over the Great Lakes Sunday into Monday.
A stronger difference in air pressure across the region will keep conditions somewhat blustery through Sunday. However, the building high-pressure system will bring a return to dry weather that should continue through the beginning of next week.
Temperatures will gradually recover during the early part of the week, with highs reaching the upper 40s on Sunday before climbing into the middle 50s by Tuesday and Wednesday.
