Hello everyone!

After a pleasantly cool start to the summer season, we’ll begin to see a temporary reversal of fortunes today as warm air begins moving in from the west. Look for northwesterly breezes to keep any marine circulations limited to the peninsulas of the midcoast, while the rest of the coastal plain can get in on the warmth. Highs will rise into the 80’s for all but the northern mountains, and some parts of southern NH could approach 90. Temps in the mountains will be slightly cooler, in the high 70’s. Mainly sunny skies are expected to continue through the day today.

Hello everyone!

Low pressure sits off to our east this morning, which typically would signal clearing skies and improving weather. However, that low has a small appendage on its western side that’s dragging its feet on its way out this morning. This appendage is located over SW NH this morning, and as a result, it will be southwestern areas that will see the greatest impacts from this feature. Clouds and showers are ongoing across much of NH this morning, and will be slow to clear out during the rest of the day today. Meanwhile to the northeast, skies have already cleared in Augusta where a beautiful early Summer day is in store.

Highs today will be a function of hours with sunshine. Those that see sun most or all of the day (NE areas) will enjoy temps in the low 70’s. Those that see only a couple sunny breaks this evening, if that (Southern NH) will see temps in the mid 60’s. Areas in between will see varying amounts of sunshine this afternoon, and thus will have temps varying accordingly, but most should come in within a few degrees of 70.

Looking ahead, a big warmup is in store beginning this weekend, culminating on Monday with highs spiking into the 90’s accompanied by oppressive humidity.

Hello everyone!

Today will feature a sunny start for most of the area, which unfortunately won’t last through the rest of the day. A warm front is moving through New York this morning, and its clouds will spread across the area from west to east midday today. A few showers are also possible along this boundary as it moves through later this afternoon. Following the warm front will be a cold front, set to arrive during the overnight hours. This front will spark severe thunderstorms to our west, which will be decaying as they approach our area. The CT river valley in western NH, and the mountains of NW ME stand the best chance at seeing locally heavy rain and rumbles of thunder from these storms. A brief period of showers is about all the rest of us can expect late tonight, before clearing tomorrow morning.

Temperatures will be warm today, due to both the morning sunshine and the afternoon transport of warmer air behind the warm front. Look for temps ranging through the 70’s across most of the area, with a few 80’s in central inland areas.

Hello everyone!

The Canadian high pressure center that has brought us cool and calm weather for the past several days has moved off to our south this morning. Clockwise flow around this high will result in westerly winds across the area today, which will help boost temps above what they have been over the past few days. Look for highs ranging from 70 in the north to 80 on the coastal plain south of Portland. Westerly breezes will keep the sea breeze at bay for all but the Midcoast today, where a developing southerly component to the wind will keep temps a bit cooler. Skies will be mainly sunny, though warm air advection setups like today’s tend to bring about a few high clouds here and there.

Hello everyone!

More beautiful early summer weather is on tap today as Canadian high pressure retains control of the area. With the exception of a few clouds along the Southern NH coastline, skies are sunny this morning. This trend will continue through the afternoon. Temperatures will be pleasantly cool as light northerly breezes bring air in from Canada. Look for highs generally ranging through the low to mid 60’s, with some higher temps possible NE of Augusta.

Enjoy the fantastic weather!

Hello everyone!

Today will feature a continuation of our recent stretch of beautiful early summer weather as high pressure remains anchored overhead. Skies will be sunny for the majority of the area, and those who do see some clouds in SW NH will only see sunshine slightly filtered by high cirrus. Temps will warm quickly into the low to mid 70’s for most of the area, with slightly cooler temps in the mountains. Temps will also be cooler along the coastline where a sea breeze will develop and sweep inland this afternoon/evening.

Hello everyone!

A cold front is drifting off the coast this morning, and northwesterly breezes behind the front will bring widespread sunshine and warm temps for the rest of the day today. Most areas are sunny this morning, with just a few lingering clouds along the front in the Midcoast. Sunshine will expand east as the front moves offshore. Northwesterly breezes behind the front will keep any sea breeze circulation at bay, resulting in warm temps extending all the way to the coastline. Highs will range from the mid 60’s in the mountains to the mid 70’s along the coast.

Hello everyone!

Our weather today will once again be influenced primarily by an upper level low pressure system that is slowly moving to our north. The result will be cool temps, plenty of cloudiness, and continued shower chances. That being said, yesterday’s steady soaking rains are not expected to continue today.

Most areas will remain socked in with overcast today, the one exception to that being southern NH where breaks of sun are already developing this morning. Those sunny breaks will help boost temps in that area, which will also create some instability as cold air moves in aloft. This instability will fuel scattered showers this afternoon, one or two of which could produce a rumble of thunder and some very small hail. Showers will quickly weaken/dissipate as they move east into stable air over Maine this evening. High temps in Southern NH will make it up into the mid 60’s.

Farther north and east, look for cloud cover to continue today with areas of drizzle along the coast. Some showers are possible, but no organized areas of steady/heavy rain are expected. The exception to this may be the northwestern mountains, which could see more rain this afternoon as the aforementioned upper level low drifts closer. Temps will be cooler due to the cloud cover, only making it a few degrees above 50 for areas SW of Augusta while areas NE of Augusta could fall short of the 50 degree mark entirely.

Hello everyone!

Today’s weather will be unusually lovely by June standards as low pressure develops to our south, and the area comes under the influence of cool Canadian high pressure. Highs will be on the cool side due to sometimes-breezy northeasterly winds bringing air into the region from the Canadian Maritimes. Look for mid 50’s along the southern coast, and mid 60’s farther north. Skies will be mainly sunny across the entire area today, with the possible exception of the immediate coastline of southern New Hampshire where some fog is possible due to winds having more of an onshore component.

Hello everyone!

Today will feature increasing sunshine and decreasing dew points as a cold front moves off to our south. NNW winds behind the front will usher in a drier airmass, which will be warmed to pleasant temperatures by downsloping. Highs will range from 65 in the north to 80 in the south. Plenty of cloud cover is noted on visible satellite imagery this morning, but clearing skies are working in from the west and north, so look for a gradual transition to sunshine through the day today. We’ll remain mostly dry with the possible exception of a brief shower over southern NH.
