Hello everyone!

The storm system that has been discussed for the past few days is well underway across the region this afternoon. One big change from this morning is that due to more moisture than expected being advected into the region as well as a slightly slower than anticipated forward motion of the front, rainfall amounts have been increased to widespread 2-3″ with isolated 4″ possible. With the increase in expected rainfall, flooding will also be more of an issue than anticipated. For this reason, the NWS has issued a flash flood watch for the GYX CFO (Southern Maine and most of NH). Flash flood warnings are also up for parts of NH.

Radar as of 4:45PM. Eastward progression of rain has been behind schedule on both ends (onset and finish) and combined with slightly more moisture than anticipated, 2-3″ of rain is expected vs this morning’s 1-2″ forecast.

Hello everyone!

Today will not be the most pleasant of days here in New England as a front approaches from the west. Precip is already falling in western parts of NH and MA. Out ahead fo the main line, drizzle and fog can be expected along with a cool onshore wind.

The main line of storms should take most of the day to work in from the west but when it does, heavy rain and gusty winds are likely with embedded thunder possible as well.

 

Some snow-yes, snow showers are possible in the mountains on Sunday. Winter is coming!

Here is a map showing when I expect precip to overspread the area from the main line.  As you can see, it will take quite a while for the line to reach eastern areas but when it does, it will rain very hard.

Here is the radar image from this morning. Notice the ares of precip circled in red, that is drizzle that will be affecting the area until the main line comes.
