Changes on the Way!
Tomorrow, one of the above will come in handy. If you don't have one, maybe you should take Rihanna up on her offer. Check it out here:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0MQr1DJOaHw 
In all seriousness, you will need that umbrella tomorrow. Various computer models have churned out around an inch of rain for us. Above is a high resolution model showing precipitation totals for 24 hours. Click to enlarge.

Today was one of the nicest November days you could expect to have. For most of the day, skies were clear, temperatures were mild, and there was a hint of a breeze to keep you invigorated.
I hope you took advantage of today, because we won't see the likes of that beautiful weather around these parts for awhile. A cold front is posied to cross New England tomorrow, and this front isn't flying solo - it's bringing up to an inch of rain to parts of Massachusetts. To make things a little more interesting, we could even hear some rumbles of thunder among the heavy downpours. Best chance for any thunder- sometime before 3 PM. The cold front itself will work through the area right around the evening rush hour, and expect temperatures to start dropping rapidly thereafter.
Earlier, it was looking like we had a decent shot at a period of light snow for late Thursday night/early Friday morning as the cold air drained in behind the front, changing the rain on over to the white stuff. Right now, it looks like we may see a couple wet flakes mixed in at best. Even if we did see a period of snow here in Lowell, temperatures would be above freezing - so there wouldn't be any accumulation. But as it looks now, we won't have to worry about that.
As the cold front passes through tomorrow, a low pressure system will get going along the frontal boundry, helping to enhance our rainfall totals to the one inch mark. Parts of northern New England could even see a decent snow event from this one.
By midday Friday our guest is gone, leaving behind some pretty chilly temperatures. This cooler regime looks to persist through the upcoming weekend and into next week - so if you're making night-time plans this weekend, you might want to grab the heavy coat and gloves. But don't fret - at least we're not expecting scarf and hat weather.... yet.
And now for the forecast.
