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.

Lots Of Clouds With A Side Of Rain Today

Hello everyone!

Today will feature clouds for almost everyone along with the chance for rain showers. Steady rain is ongoing this morning across the midcoast as a coastal low zooms by to our east. Meanwhile, a cold front is moving in from Canada bringing with it showers and thunderstorms currently located in the mountains. Both systems will be moving east with the steady rains of the midcoast departing to Nova Scotia and the showers of the mountains setting their sights on the coastline by this afternoon. Temps will generally be in the 70’s with some 60’s possible in the north. The best chance for sunshine will be in southwestern coastal areas this morning/early afternoon and in the mountains this evening. The big warmup begins tomorrow.

Clear Weather This Morning Gives Way To Clouds This Evening

Hello everyone!

Currently, sunny skies are present across the area and clear skies will slowly cloud over as an ocean storm begins its close flyby. Temps will rise into the 70’s for the majority of the area with 60’s along the coast as onshore flow develops this afternoon. Overcast skies are expected to develop tonight and will continue through tomorrow for all areas outside of the mountains. Showers are possible tomorrow especially along the midcoast as that ocean storm moves by to our east.

Clearing Out Today

Hello everyone!

Today will feature mainly sunny skies after morning fog burns off in northern areas. Look for temps to make it into the low 70’s for the majority of the area with cooler temps to the south where clouds will linger the longest this morning. Dry conditions are expected after a few residual showers dissipate across southern New Hampshire.

A Fairly Dreary Day Today

Hello everyone!

Today will feature cloudy skies, cool temps, a raw wind off the water, and showers for much of the area. A warm front to our south will not be arriving in the area as cold Canadian high pressure to our north puts up a brick wall across western and southern New England. Look for temps not to exceed 60 degrees anywhere in the area with sun not expected to make an appearance. Showers will be on and off today with the wettest conditions across southern and western areas.

Our cool and active pattern rolls on!

Increasing Clouds Today

Hello everyone!

Today will feature a sunny sky and overcast finish as a storm system gradually drifts in our direction. Expect highs in the 60’s for most with a few low 70’s south. While skies will slowly cloud up, any rain will likely hold off until tonight. Our cool and unsettled pattern rolls on!

More Spotty Showers And Storms Today

Hello everyone!

The trend across the past two days has been for a decrease in thunderstorm intensity/coverage. From Wednesday night’s line of storms that spanned the entire state to yesterday’s isolated cells and now today to widely scattered showers and possibly a storm or two. Repeated rounds of storms are gradually reducing the amount of energy in our portion of the atmosphere which is why we’re only expecting very widely scattered showers this afternoon. In areas that do happen to see a shower or storm, small hail is certainly possible due to the fact that storms don’t need to lift water very far up into the atmosphere for it to freeze. Temps will rise into the 60’s for most with low 70’s in the south. Skies will begin clear but clouds will develop as things begin to heat up this afternoon.

More Thunderstorms Today!

Hello everyone!

In the midst of a chaotic week schedule wise for me (sorry for irregular updates), we’ve had some active weather. Those thunderstorms last night were particularly awesome! We have more in the way of thunder en route today as morning fog gives way to mid day sun. Temps will move up into the low 70’s for most with some cooler temps north. SW winds will keep the sea breeze largely at bay. Storms will develop early this afternoon and will move east this evening with strong winds being the primary threat.

Slightly Sunnier Today

Hello everyone!

Today will feature more cloudy skies for most but some breaks of sun are already trying to push into the Midcoast and up across the mountains. These sunny breaks will try to move west through the day with limited success. As for temps, they will remain on the cool side but will be a bit warmer than yesterday with highs generally ranging through the 60’s. Skies will remain dry for most of the day with showers and a few rumbles of thunder approaching for this evening

Warm And Sunny Today

Hello everyone!

A beautiful early Summer day is on the way today with sunny skies, no precip, and warm temps all expected. Highs will range from 80 inland to 70 at the coast where a sea breeze will develop this afternoon. Not a whole lot else to say but enjoy the day!

Cool, Cloudy, And Wet Today

Hello everyone!

Today will feature cloudy skies, cool temps, NE winds, and slowly diminishing precipitation. Heavy rain is falling across the area currently and this will slowly weaken and move north as the storm to our east drifts closer. As the dry slot moves in, the steady downpours will be replaced by scattered showers that will continue through the evening. Temps will remain stuck in the 50’s for most as a cool onshore flow keeps much warmth from developing this afternoon.
