Another cool and generally quiet day is expected today as we sit between two disturbances aloft. The first disturbance to our south will produce a coastal storm far offshore. The second disturbance to our west will bring some light snow to the mountains tonight. A very weak connection will form between the two systems this evening, which will result in some light snow showers along the coast beginning late in the afternoon and continuing through the evening. At most an inch of snow can be expected from these snow showers, but watch for a few slick spots on the roads if you’re headed out and about. High temps will range from 15 in the north to 35 in the south.
Today will feature more cool and dry weather as Canadian air filters through the area. Highs will range from 15 in the north to 30 in the south under increasingly sunny skies. Some morning flurries in the mountains will clear out for the afternoon as any remaining moisture is squeezed out by the effects of upsloping. Enjoy the lovely winter day!
Today will feature morning sunshine becoming gradually obscured by cloud cover this afternoon/evening. The clouds will be spilling into the region from an area of low pressure moving through Quebec. This low has little moisture, but the mountains will be able to squeeze a few inches out of it before it moves into the Canadian Maritimes tomorrow. Areas downwind of the mountains will remain mostly dry. As warm air tries to filter north out ahead of this system, temps will bump up a little bit today ranging from 15 in the north to 35 on the NH Seacoast.
Cold temps are expected today with mainly clear skies as Canadian high pressure builds into the region. Temps solidly below zero in the mountains this morning will only get marginally above zero this afternoon, with highs ranging from 5 in the north to 25 in the south. Some clouds will encroach on western areas later this afternoon, but otherwise clear/dry conditions are expected. Winds will be light out of the north/northeast as low pressure develops too far to our south for any precip.
A cold front passed through the region last night, which means two features will be noticeable for today’s weather. It will be cold, and we’ll see upslope/downslope flow bring clouds and snow showers to the north while sunnier and drier conditions develop along the coast. The coast will start this morning with some brief flurries east of Bath and associated mid-level cloudiness, but sunshine will quickly develop as that disturbance races east. Highs will range from 15 in the mountains to 32 along the midcoast.
Cool and calm weather is expected today as a cold front approaches from the west. Expect morning sunshine to gradually fade behind advancing cloud cover this afternoon as the front gets closer. Moisture associated with the front will touch off some flurries today, with the best chance for flakes in the mountains. The front will cross the area tonight with little fanfare, setting up an upslope/downslope day tomorrow. Highs will range from around 20 in the north to a little above freezing along the coast.
Canadian high pressure is in control of our weather today, meaning that we get to enjoy cooler temps and sunnier skies for most of the day. The exception to the sunny skies rule will be later this afternoon when clouds from a storm well offshore will spread northward into the area. The storm will develop too late to bring us any snow unfortunately though. High temps will range from the low 20’s in the north to the low 30’s in the south.
Today will feature continued below normal temps along with clouds and snow showers for the mountains. NW winds behind yesterday’s front will keep the upslope going through the day, with a weak upper level disturbance helping carry some of those flakes into the foothills this morning. Temps will range from the mid 20’s in the north to around 30 in the south, where sunnier skies are expected.
Today will start cool and cloudy, with a few lucky areas flipping that script briefly this afternoon. While warm air sits just above the surface, a very shallow cold airmass has temps in the low to mid 30’s across the region this morning. A cold front is set to move through the region today, and between the turbulence associated with the cold front and a little downsloping just behind it, coastal areas could break out into sunshine with quite mild temps for a couple of hours this afternoon. There’s a chance a few places in S NH make a run at 50! For most of the rest of the region though, we’ll go from it being cold ahead of the front to cold behind the front. Some clearing will take place downwind of the mountains this afternoon, while rain showers change to snow showers in the high terrain. Temps in the mountains will remain in the low to mid 30’s while temps along the coast will jump up into the low to mid 40’s this afternoon after the front arrives.
Unfortunately the lovely snow falling inland this morning will be overrun by rain this afternoon as warm air moves north. That changeover has already occurred along the coast, and is forthcoming in the next couple hours inland. The northern mountains will hold onto the frozen precip types the longest, with a mix of sleet and freezing rain lasting until this evening. Temps will range from 35 in the north to 45 in the south. Rain will wrap up from SW to NE this evening.
