The Climate Prediction Center outlook indicates higher odds of warmer-than-average temperatures across New England for September, October, and November. Meteorologists expect most of the Boston area and surrounding region to experience an autumn that runs warmer than typical seasonal averages. Precipitation is forecast near average for the entire region, reducing the likelihood of an unusually wet fall. Warmer conditions can lessen leaf color vibrancy, while drier conditions can produce a more chaotic and uneven foliage display as some trees change earlier than nearby species. New England saw a particularly dry summer, and a cold front will temporarily push temperatures below average this week.
there should still be plenty of time to enjoy outdoor activities without the need to bundle up. That's because meteorologists are now predicting that the Boston area will see an autumn that is warmer than average. Forecasters with the National Weather Service's Climate Prediction Center recently released a temperature outlook for September, October, and November. It shows that most of New England has a high chance of experiencing temperatures that are warmer than what is normally seen during the fall months.
Those warmer temperatures likely won't be accompanied by too much precipitation. The entire region is expected to have average precipitation levels during the fall, Tarasiewicz said. What could that mean for leaf peepers? It's a bit early to begin predicting how New England's foliage will look, Tarasiewicz said, but prior cooler temperatures tend to favor more vibrant colors. If the season is particularly warm, the region's trees could put on a disappointing show.
