Hello everyone!

For those lucky inhabitants of the inland and mountain regions, another blast of winter is ongoing right now and will continue through the late morning hours. Say hello to some freezing rain! Freezing rain will continue through around noon or a little before wherever it’s below freezing at the surface (inland, mountains) and up to .1 or .2 of accretion is likely. For the rest of us, some plain ol’ rain will have to do for the morning. This afternoon, we get the remnants of the midwest thunderstorms which will be scattered but could bring a few bouts of heavy rain this evening.

More spring-like weather is ahead this coming week.

Hello everyone!

Snow is still falling here in Yarmouth and looking at the radar, most of southern ME is also in the same boat. Light snow will taper off this morning and for those with freezing drizzle, that will also let up ever so slowly this morning. Onshore winds however will make sure we don’t celebrate too loudly as temps in the mid to upper 30’s for ME and NH and low 40’s for MA, RI, and CT plus a little drizzle will make it feel pretty dreary snow falling or not.

We get more steadier precip tonight with southern areas seeing liquid and northern areas seeing solid for precip type. Warm weather returns for some Friday and seasonable but dry conditions look to become in control through most of next week.

Hello everyone!

Another quiet day is on tap today as a stalled frontal boundary hangs out to our south. We’ll start off the day with mainly clear skies north of the MA/NH border but as the front slowly shifts north, clouds will begin to overspread the area. This will happen gradually from south to north today and by the late afternoon hours, everyone should be enjoying some nice overcast. Highs today will range from the upper 20’s in the far north/mountains to low 40’s in interior Southern New England. An easterly wind ahead of the front will bring in air off the ocean which, having gone through the same winter we did, is pretty chilly (like mid 30’s chilly). This onshore flow will help to keep the coast somewhat cooler than everyone else.

Precip moves in this evening after dark and will continue through tomorrow morning. Several inches are likely with the highest amounts in southern ME/NH and far northern MA where near 6″ is possible. Along the coast though, just 1 or 2 degrees means the difference between 1″ and 5″ so while the ‘most likely’ scenario for southern coastal ME/NH is 2-4″, don’t be surprised if it’s just a tad warmer and a coating to an inch falls or if things end up being a tad cooler in which case 5 or 6″ could fall. I’ll do my best to post a more detailed update this evening but in case the schedule doesn’t work out, my next update will be tomorrow morning.

For those sad about the snow, our dreary week comes to an end Friday with the passage of a cold front and warmer temps move in for the weekend under sunny skies. Perfect for some spring skiing!

Hello everyone!

Today will feature mostly cloudy skies with some light snow/sleet/freezing rain/rain this morning along  Fryeburg-Rockland line and then again south of a Portland/Concord line this afternoon. Highs will be chilly again today with temp rising into the 30’s north and 40’s south. Everyone sees clouds today but a sunny break is possible near the Canadian border this afternoon/evening. More snowy precip is likely tomorrow into Thursday with light accumulations likely.

Hello everyone!

It happens almost every year in the month of April – we get a week or two of damp, drizzly, showery, not-much-sun kind of weather. As a front stalls over our area today, this looks to be our stretch. Today, clouds and sprinkles/flurries will be abundant as a weak front slides ever so slightly northward. We will be on the cold side so temps are quite chilly this morning and will remain on the cool side today. Highs will range from the low 30’s up in the north country to low 50’s for MA, RI, and CT. 40’s for everyone else.

Looking ahead, this is basically our weather for this week with a few differences here and there. Friday it looks like we finally bust into the warm side of things but clouds and rain/snow look to continue.

Hello everyone!

Happy Easter for those celebrating! Overall a quiet day is in store for today as a very weak low passes to our north. Expect a mix of sun and clouds today with more clouds in the mountains than the coast. Everyone gets the chance to see some light precip today with mostly sprinkles in the south and at the coast while the foothills and mountains get flurries. Highs will be in the 30’s north and 40’s south.

It appears as though this coming week will feature prolonged periods of light precip and clouds so be prepared for some April showers. Looking out even farther, a warmup is likely mid-month with temps looking to go above average for a while.

Hello everyone!

Today will feature morning rain and snow followed by snow continuing in the mountains while the coast remains mainly dry. Steady coastal precip is departing now and the remainder of coastal precip will be in shower form with isolated drops/flakes through the afternoon. The mountains however are a different story. Rain has already mainly changed to snow up at the higher elevations and everyone up there changes over this morning but instead of mid level dry air eating away at the precip, it will continue to snow up north through the afternoon before precip heads east.

Here is the HRRR model showing rain and snow gradually moving out through the day today before coming to a stop this evening.

Temps today will be dropping as colder air moves in  and as a result, the warmest temps of the day are likely being felt right now before a slow drop through the 40’s and into the 30’s by this evening.

No major weather systems are in sight though our next chance for precip looks to be early this coming week.

Hello everyone!

Today will be a much warmer one for most of us as a warm front has moved through and is now sitting over northern areas. For the mountains, especially the northern mountains, this warm front will cause a cloudy day and some light precipitation of all types (snow, sleet, freezing rain, rain) however any accumulation will be very minimal. Temps for the mountains will be in the 30’s today with a few of the southern mountains seeing lows in the 40’s.

For the rest of us, a partly to mostly cloudy day is in store but with breaks of sun and much warmer temps. Widespread 50’s are expected with inland southern New England and prehaps southern NH seeing highs in the low 60’s. Due to southerly winds off the ocean, the immediate coast may see temps stuck in the high 40’s, a problem mainly reserved for the Midcoast but that other coastal areas will likely be stuck with as well.

More precip arrives tomorrow into Saturday in various forms. Details on that tomorrow.
