As I run through the model data, I see I will need to tweak a few things in the “Nowcast” for tonight. A Nowcast is a very short range outlook that is only for a few hours out.
Nowcast for New England
Midnight:
Clearing with a few breaks in the clouds. Winds shifting to the WNW at 10 mph. Temperatures will dip into the low 20s as opposed to around 30.
6 am tomorrow:
Low clouds with winds shifting more to the north.
Nowcast for Midcoast
Midnight:
Clear except for a few scattered low clouds in the North. Winds shifting from W to WNW.
6 am tomorrow:
Clear. Light and Variable winds for most of the area but light W winds in the far North.
Stay tuned and have a happy New Year.
Best wishes for 2012!
