I’m a third-year atmospheric science student at Cornell University who has been blogging about the weather since 2011. While I’m not officially a meteorologist, I have accumulated a bit of experience forecasting both local weather (in western Maine and New Hampshire) as well as national/international weather during my time writing for weather.us and weathermodels.com. I also have experience programming in Python, teaching concepts in weather forecasting, and communicating forecast information to general audiences.
Our recent stretch of lovely weather, albeit briefly interrupted by yesterday afternoon’s shower activity, will continue today as high pressure anchors itself to our north. A storm system will try to get going to our south today, and will spread clouds into the southern part of the area as it does so, but no precipitation is expected. Temps will range from the low 60’s north and east where sunshine will generally prevail to the low 50’s along the southern coastline where cloudiness and marine influences will conspire to keep temps down.
Today will feature sunny skies in the north and cloudy skies in the south as a low pressure system moves through the Mid Atlantic States. Some of those clouds may drop some raindrops over parts of southern NH, but overall we should stay mostly dry today. Temps will depend largely on duration of sunshine. Areas in the far north that stay mostly sunny will see the warmest temps near 60. Central areas that see a mix of sun and clouds will see temps near 55, and far southern areas that see mostly cloudy conditions will see temps near 50.
