Today will feature cool temps, breezy westerly winds, and plenty of clouds/showers as we sit underneath a pocket of cold air aloft. As the sun comes up this morning, a band of thick clouds associated with last night’s storm is sliding offshore, leaving a narrow gap of sunshine downwind of the mountains. That sunshine will prove short-lived as even the slightest heating will produce instability and thus clouds as we move into the later morning/midday hours. Clouds and showers will be most widespread in the usual upslope areas, but broader instability and residual moisture will allow more of those showers to spill off the mountains towards the coast this afternoon. Showers will contain a mix of rain, snow, graupel, and possibly some small hail. Temps will be on the cooler side, ranging from the low 30s up in the mountains to the mid 40s along the coast of southern NH.
The active New England weather we expect this time of year will continue later today as our first Alberta Clipper of the season cruises east. Ahead of that system, morning sunshine will gradually become obscured by clouds this afternoon. Temps will be on the cooler side compared to what we’ve seen recently, ranging from the low 30s up north to the mid 40s right along the coast.
This storm’s precipitation will hold off until this evening with snow arriving in the mountains around 9-10 PM and rain developing over the coastal plain around midnight. Temps in the valleys will be too warm for more than a slushy coating-1″ of snow, but the higher terrain will pick up a few inches overnight.
A strong upper-level disturbance is headed our way today, but it has a few miles to go from its current position over West Virginia before it can bring any impacts here. That means we’ll start the day mostly sunny before clouds and showers arrive from the west this afternoon. Showers and storms will be strongest over southwestern NH, where strong winds and hail are possible, before weakening as they head northeast into Maine this evening. High temps will be relatively uniform across the area, ranging from the high 40s up north to the low 50s down south.
Today will feature the arrival of some heavy rain as a seasonably strong autumn storm sweeps through the area. Southeasterly breezes this morning will continue to pick up through the day as the storm approaches, and any gaps in cloud cover this morning will be quick to fill in over the next hour or two.
Rain will arrive from the west in the late morning over NH and early afternoon for ME. It’ll be a pretty straightforward rain event with about 4-6 hours of solid rain in any given spot. Some thunderstorms might be embedded within the line of heavier showers right along the cold front, but overall the more favorable environment for severe weather is farther to our west (there appears to have just been a brief tornado a bit east of where I’m sitting in Ithaca NY). Regardless of any possible thunderstorm activity, strong southeast winds might be able to knock out power to a few of the usual suspects this afternoon along the coast. Overall though, this doesn’t seem like a high-impact event.
Temps will range from the mid 40s up in the mountains to the upper 50s over southern NH.
It will be another quiet day here in northern New England as high pressure passes directly overhead. Look for mostly sunny skies this morning to give way to some clouds moving in from the west this afternoon. High temps will range from the low 40s up in the north woods to the mid 50s near the NH/MA border. A brief sprinkle is possible this evening in western parts of the area, but overall the day will be dry ahead of our next storm which arrives with heavy rain tomorrow.
A cold front is moving through the region this morning, and a weak area of low pressure has begun to develop along that boundary. That means that most spots are seeing a steady light rain as the sun comes up, with temps generally in the 40s. This storm will be fast-moving with sunshine to return area-wide by midday. The sunshine will briefly help lift temps into the 50s for southern parts of the area before colder air moving in from Canada exerts a stronger influence in the afternoon and sends temps falling through the 40s again.
Today will feature the return of mild air to the region as winds shift around from southwesterly to northwesterly as a cold front passes through. Any actually cold air lags a bit behind this boundary so downsloping will dominate the temperature pattern today, sending highs into the low/mid 60s for much of the coastal plain. Temps will be cooler, in the low-mid 50s, up in the mountains where clouds will be a bit more widespread and a brief shower can’t be ruled out this afternoon.
Today will feature another day of quiet weather as high pressure hangs out overhead and several ocean storms pass well out to sea. Look for mostly sunny skies across the area and temps ranging from the low 50s up north to the mid 50s along the coast.
Today will feature another day of quiet autumn weather as high pressure slides across the region. Look for light northwest breezes to support a couple clouds upslope of the Whites while the rest of the area remains clear. High temps will remain on the cooler side, ranging from the mid 30s up north to the upper 40s down south.
Today will feature generally quiet weather as we sit between a couple of weak and disorganized storm systems. As these storms slide slowly in our direction, we’ll see morning sunshine give way to some afternoon cloudiness, especially up in the mountains. A stray flurry is possible in the mountains of NH but overall, today will be dry. Temps will remain on the cooler side, ranging from the mid 30s up north to the mid 40s down south.
