AI GeneratedThe weather forecast indicates a transition from a pleasant stretch of fall weather to a cooler, windier, and wetter period. While temperatures remain mild for November, a storm system arriving Thursday will bring rain and a significant temperature drop, with a slight possibility of the season's first snowflakes in some areas.
Love it. Oh, I know we're going to find some great,
great homes and have another nice day to go out and enjoy, Jess.
We've got great weather for the next couple of days.
We've been so lucky, honestly.
We finally have a very, very nice stretch of fall weather.
But, but, but, we are gloomy with rain,
with some kind of chilly weather, to say the least,
all the way through the end of the week into next weekend.
And
You've probably heard on the interwebs that some people

of the season for parts of the Northeast.
So, let's talk today first.

Tonight's chilly, but above freezing everywhere,

40s but you won't need to worry about undressing all
the layers in the afternoon. It's a nice slow
climb to the 50s because of that wind.
The wind will be with us pretty much all week long so
that's just an element you'll want to keep in mind.
There could be a stray shower on Monday
afternoon so it won't hurt to have the umbrella
in the car on Monday for a brief shower but
otherwise it's dry until Thursday.
Thursday is when that next storm starts and it continues through
Friday and maybe even into Saturday.
So we're expecting a nuisance, chilly shower.
That's like, okay, that's five times fast.
But it's going to be cool and it's going to be kind of wet
for Thursday through at least Friday, maybe early Saturday morning.
What is possible, we can't rule it out.
Maybe some isolated first flakes
of the season mixing in on Friday or Saturday,
even here on the island, because temperatures will be dropping.

and we're going to keep it plain rain.
But if that storm is stronger,

There are a few things to keep in mind Thursday evening through Friday

You'll see the temperature does drop significantly behind that storm.
We're going to be around 60 pretty much all work week until Friday,
and then we'll dip off into the 40s.

so this is still pretty mild for November,
but we'll keep an eye on that.
Okay, Alex, thanks so much.
The weather may be cooling down,
but there's a way to keep your tropical plants blooming.
Alex, we'll be back.
