Hello everyone!

Today brings the arrival of a prolonged cool and rainy period that I see no signs of ending in the next 10 days or more. It won’t rain for 10 days straight but the vast majority of those days will be overcast and will feature some sort of rain/drizzle/fog. Between 2 and 7″ of rain are likely by the time this stretch is over depending on exactly how each storm tracks. Total rainfall will also vary by location.

As for today, rain is already falling across far SW NH and will be slowly making its way NE through the day today. Portland should see rain beginning around or a little after noon while it’ll stay dry through the early afternoon along the midcoast.

Rain will become progressively heavier through the day today and by this evening/tonight, rain will be torrential along the coast, especially the midcoast. Several inches could fall in a short period of time tonight and flooding will certainly be a concern especially because rivers are already running fairly high.

Winds will be out of the east today and will be noticeable but not overly gusty. They will keep temps cool though and highs should remain at or just below 50 for the entire area.

More rain tomorrow, Sunday, and next week.

Hello everyone! 

Today will feature mainly sunny skies as well as cool temps due to cold high pressure settling in. Look for highs to range from the mid 50’s north to the low 60’s south. A sea breeze will develop this evening and keep temps down a bit at the coast. Skies will be mainly clear though some high clouds will begin making their way into the area this evening. No precipitation is expected today, we’ll have more than enough of it tomorrow and into next week.

Hello everyone! 

Today will feature the typical upslope/downslope setup as yesterday’s cold front has brought NW winds to the area. Look for sunny skies to dominate the coastal plain while the mountains see persistent clouds and spotty showers. A wind shift line will roll through early in the afternoon bringing with it a thin line of showers. Behind this line, winds are forecast to become very gusty as more dry air surges in. Highs will range from the low 50’s north to mid 60’s south.

Hello everyone!

Looking for warmth? Let me know and I can provide directions to Florida. The next 7-10 days and beyond look cold and wet and today is no exception. Much of the morning will be dominated by low clouds, drizzle, fog, and leftover showers from last night’s cold front. Temps are currently in the mid 40’s and I see no reason for them to change much until the early afternoon.

A little after lunchtime, a weak disturbance will begin to approach the region and clear out the drizzle/fog/low clouds. Sunshine will break out from west to east quickly followed by convective clouds. These convective clouds should grow enough to bring a few showers and/or thunderstorms specially to western areas today. They won’t by any means be severe but they will impact outdoor plans if they happen to drift in your direction. The storms will weaken and race east as the sun sets tonight.

Temps today will peak right around 70 for most areas with cooler temps expected along the midcoast where drizzle/fog/low clouds will hang on the longest. Slightly warmer temps are expected in the usual southern NH areas.

If you’re feeling sad about missing yesterday’s heavy rain that only impacted northern and central areas, feel sad no more. Very heavy rain is in the forecast for Friday as well as through next week as a river of deep tropical moisture is pointed squarely in our direction.

Signs of early spring warmth remain nonexistent.

Hello everyone! 

Today will feature cloudy skies, cool temps, and precip of some sort depending on location. Temps will range though the 40’s for much of the area with a few 50’s in far western NH. Rain will fall across the northern half of the area getting heavier as you approach the international border where up to 2″ of rain could fall today. Farther south near Portland, drizzle, fog, and spottier showers can be expected. 

More rain later this week.
