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.
Today will feature mainly cloudy skies along with cool temps and the chance for a shower. An upper level low is drifting east across the area with cyclonic flow aloft so the greatest chance for showers will be in the mountains. With a slight downslope component to the wins, the greatest chance for sun will be along the coast. Highs will range from 40 north to 50 south.
Today will feature mainly cloudy skies along with mild temps and scattered showers. Look for highs to range from 35 in the far north to 50 in the south. As we’re stuck under a slow moving system for the next couple days, expect a few scattered showers now and again especially with daytime heating in the afternoon. These will fall as rain for most, the exception being in the mountains where a few snowflakes could mix in.
More of the same weather tomorrow before a warming trend. Who’s ready for 70 and sun Tuesday?
Today will feature mainly cloudy skies, slightly warmer temps, and morning drizzle turning to afternoon heavy rain as a strong cold front approaches the area. Look for highs to range from 35 in the north to 45 in the south. Drizzle and fog will be widespread in onshore flow this morning and through the midday hours before heavier rain arrives this afternoon into early this evening. Thunder is a distinct possibility in southern areas as well as strong SE winds. The whole storm quickly shifts NE tonight leaving much nicer weather for the weekend.
Today will feature the remains of yesterday’s storm system as it slowly drifts ENE. Look for cloudy skies, cold temps, and plenty of drizzle throughout the area and throughout the day. Expect highs not to get above 40 degrees with most folks a few degrees above freezing. Drizzle and fog will be plentiful but organized precip will not as our storm continues to lift away.
Today will feature heavy rain and snow depending on your location. Right along the coast, a coastal front has developed over the midcoast, York County, and just west of Portland. Winds to the east of the CF are out of the east and will be keeping these areas 100% rain throughout the day. Across Northern Casco Bay and interior areas though, Cold Air Damming is locked in place with cold NNE winds keeping cold dry air readily available. In these areas, any raindrops first thing this morning will quickly turn to snow.
As for snowfall accumulations, check the map below.
Snow/rain is arriving currently from SW to NE and will linger through midmorning tomorrow especially in the north.
Highs will range from 32 in the mountains to 45 east of the Coastal Front.
Today will feature mainly sunny skies along with light winds and warm temps. Highs are expected to get up into the mid 40’s north and mid 50’s south. Enjoy the warmth because by this time tomorrow, most of the area will be seeing another round of heavy snow!
Today will feature clearing skies and warming temps for most as yesterday’s storm system moves well to our east. A weak disturbance will keep some clouds up in the mountains and a sprinkle or flurry will be possible there as well. As for temps, look for highs ranging from the upper 30’s in the north to upper 40’s in the south.
More snow is expected Tuesday though that system looks a little warmer and areas south of Portland are likely to change over to rain at some point. More details as we get closer.
Light to moderate snow is falling across the area this morning and will continue to do so throughout the day today, possibly mixing with a raindrop or two along the immediate coastline. Total snowfall accumulations will range from near or over a foot in far SW ME and southern NH to less than an inch NE of Augusta. Snow will move out of N/NE/NW areas first later this morning with central parts of the area keeping the snow until mid to late afternoon and the coastline enjoying flakes until early evening.
Send me your snowfall reports throughout the day so I can verify my forecast! It helps me get better in the future!
Temps will range from 40 in far northern areas that may get some sun this afternoon to 32 in central/coastal areas that get cooling effects from the storm.
Just wanted to put out my thoughts for snowfall accumulation for tonight/tomorrow’s storm. Snow will slowly advance today and will become heavy tonight into tomorrow morning before tapering off tomorrow evening. Snow will be extremely heavy and wet so watch for power outages and shovel and inch or two at a time.
More tonight/tomorrow morning depending on my schedule.
Today will feature cool and calm weather as high pressure digs in ahead of our next storm system. Look for clouds to slowly increase through the day and snowflakes currently falling over SW NH to make their way NE very slowly. It won’t start snowing in Portland until the late evening. As for temps, evaporational cooling in a dry airmass will keep SW NH temps in the mid 30’s while much of the rest of the area will rise into the upper 30’s. It’s likely to be a bit cooler in the mountains as well.
I’ll release a short little discussion on the storm along with a snow map in an hour or so.
