Our last storm has now moved off to the northeast, leaving us with clearing skies and drier conditions. I’ve seen some reports this morning of slick roads so if you’re headed out, be careful. Sunshine this afternoon outside of the mountains will quickly melt any residual black ice, with a light NW breeze helping to bring back dry pavement. High temps will range from 30 in the north to 45 in the south.
A fairly small winter storm will be arriving today as low pressure moves through the Great Lakes. The system will be weakening as it approaches our area, so after an initial burst of moderate to heavy snow, expect lighter precip to quickly take over. Snow is already falling across SW NH, and it will expand to the northeast this morning. Precip types will become messy this afternoon and this evening before the system pulls away tonight.
As for precip types, the mountains will see a mostly snow event with only a brief changeover to freezing rain while the foothills see snow changing over to sleet and freezing rain much earlier. Only the coast is expected to see plain rain as cold air damming keeps surface temps cold even as warm air sneaks in aloft.
Snowfall totals will range from 3-6″ in the mountains to a coating along the shores of Penobscot Bay. High temps will range from around 30 in the north to 40 in the south.
Today will feature mainly clear skies as high pressure retains control of our weather. Temps will be on the warmer side, ranging from 30 in the north to 40 in the south as the strong March sun does its thing. Other than that, I don’t think there’s much to say about today’s weather. Get out and enjoy it!
More quiet weather is expected today as a weak disturbances zips by well to our south. That system won’t bring any precip, but it will result in a few extra clouds this afternoon. Temps will be generally warmer compared to recent days, ranging from 20 in the north to 35 in the south. Get out and enjoy the beautiful late-winter weather before mud season arrives!
Our cold airmass will stick around today as high pressure builds in from Canada. Today’s forecast looks in fact quite similar to yesterday’s with mainly sunny skies this morning giving way to a mix of sun and clouds later this afternoon. Those afternoon clouds will once again be of the puffy cumulus variety, and may drop some more snowflakes. As with yesterday, not everyone will see snow showers, and even those that do won’t pick up more than an inch of accumulation. High temps will range from 5 in the north to 25 in the south.
An unusually cool airmass will settle over the region today, especially in the middle part of the atmosphere. This will mean chilly temps and the chance for some snow showers to pop up in the afternoon as the sun tries to heat up the lower levels. Snow showers are most likely in the mountains, but could drift over just about any town in the area, bringing briefly low visibility and a quick coating-1″ of snow. Snow showers will dissipate after sundown when daytime heating is lost. High temps will range from 10 in the north to 25 in the south.
We’ll enjoy a calm late winter day today as high pressure drifts through the region. Skies will be mostly sunny for the majority of the day, with some mid/high level clouds creeping into western regions late in the afternoon. Temperatures will be seasonably cool, ranging from 15 in the north to 30 in the south. A few flurries are possible in western areas this evening, but no substantial impacts are expected.
Yesterday’s storm has now departed and our next system won’t arrive until tonight, meaning that we’ll enjoy quiet weather today. Skies will be partly to mostly sunny in the morning, especially along the coast, before clouds arrive this afternoon. The strong March sun will do its thing especially in the south, bringing temps up into the mid/upper 30’s while the mountains stay in the mid/upper 20’s.
Snow from our next storm arrives tonight, and accumulation will vary considerably by location. Parts of southern NH and Penobscot Bay could see 6″ while far northwestern areas struggle to get more than an inch. The storm will be a fast mover, and wraps up quickly from west to east tomorrow.
A weak storm system will race by to our south today, but it will stay too far offshore to bring more than flurries to the coastal plain. A separate system will swing through and bring light snow to the area this afternoon, but accumulations will remain generally under 1″. We will see more cloud cover as a result of this system despite its lack of snow, so it’s safe to shelve the sunglasses for most of the day. High temps will range from 25 in the north to 32 along the coastal plain.
A storm system to our south has brought some cloud cover to southern/coastal areas this morning, but it will remain too far offshore to bring anything more than that. Sunshine will expand in coverage this afternoon as that storm moves offshore, while temps hover right near seasonal norms. Highs today will reach 25 in the north and 35 in southern NH. Get out and enjoy the lovely weather!
