Cool Temperatures and Potential Rain Expected in New England This Week
New England is bracing for a chilly Sunday and the possibility of rain later this week, potentially impacting Halloween plans.
Today, October 26, 2025, most of the region will experience highs only in the 40s, with some southern communities potentially reaching the low 50s. Northern areas may see isolated showers, with mixed or snow showers possible in the mountains. Monday will bring sunshine with increasing clouds and a chance of afternoon showers. This cooler weather follows a period of unseasonably mild temperatures earlier in the month.
Looking ahead, a dry and brighter spell is forecast for Tuesday and Wednesday, but confidence is growing for a widespread rainfall event on Thursday and potentially into Friday. The exact timing and track of the system remain uncertain, but residents should prepare for wet conditions. For more information on understanding weather systems, visit the National Weather Service.
The Storm Watch 9 team is also monitoring Hurricane Melissa, which is expected to significantly impact the Caribbean, though it is currently unlikely to directly affect the mainland United States. Residents can stay informed about local weather conditions by downloading the WMUR app and enabling push notifications; you can find more details about preparing for severe weather on our severe weather preparedness page.
Officials will continue to monitor both the developing rain system and Hurricane Melissa, providing updates as they become available.
