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 be a much warmer one for most of us as a warm front has moved through and is now sitting over northern areas. For the mountains, especially the northern mountains, this warm front will cause a cloudy day and some light precipitation of all types (snow, sleet, freezing rain, rain) however any accumulation will be very minimal. Temps for the mountains will be in the 30’s today with a few of the southern mountains seeing lows in the 40’s.
For the rest of us, a partly to mostly cloudy day is in store but with breaks of sun and much warmer temps. Widespread 50’s are expected with inland southern New England and prehaps southern NH seeing highs in the low 60’s. Due to southerly winds off the ocean, the immediate coast may see temps stuck in the high 40’s, a problem mainly reserved for the Midcoast but that other coastal areas will likely be stuck with as well.
More precip arrives tomorrow into Saturday in various forms. Details on that tomorrow.
Today will feature cold and windy conditions once again as low pressure develops to our south and high pressure noses in from the NW. Temps will also be chilly starting out in the 10’s and 20’s this morning before rising into the 30’s north and 40’s south. Mostly clear skies are anticipated with the exception of the mountains who could see a few clouds.
Warmer weather looks to return late this week with Friday still looking like a prime candidate for 60 degrees especially southern inland areas south of a frontal boundary but not sitting next to the still very cold ocean.
Not much spring-like weather in the forecast today or for most of this week as the cold pattern continues. Today in particular will be cold despite temps starting in the 30’s. NW winds will, as they have done countless times this winter, be bringing in colder air and, like so many times before, the mountains get an inch or two of upslope snow while the coast clears out and warms up. Highs will range from freezing up in the mountains to 40’s at the coast.
The warmup for Friday is still on the schedule but 60 looks a little optimistic for this time around. Depending on storm track/strength, we may be tracking a rain/snow line once again this weekend, more details on that in later posts.
Today will feature some more snow showers/squalls especially this morning as a cold front approaches the area. Accumulations will be limited to a coating tops and even that is only likely in the mountains. The front moves through this afternoon and winds could briefly become gusty especially in the mountains where gusts up to or exceeding 30 mph are likely. In terms of sky cover, more clouds than sun will remain the rule today but some clearing is likely in the afternoon.
No significant precipitation events are in sight though Fridayhas my eye on it for some pretty warm temps with highs possibly reaching 60!
SW winds will begin to blow today which means an increase in temps today. Expect highs ranging from the low 40’s at the coast to the mid/upper 30’s in the mountains. Today should also be mostly sunny with just a few afternoon high clouds as our next storm moves in. All in all, a pretty nice day though chilly by late march standards.
No significant storms are in sight though some showers/flurries are likely tomorrow.
Today will feature mainly cloudy conditions as a storm passes offshore. The other component of todays forecast will be an inverted trough connected to an offshore storm that looks to set up over the area this afternoon. All areas look to see at least a few flakes but only areas under the heavy snow band associated with the trough look to have a shot at any accumulation given it’s late March and the sun angle is so high. The best shot at accumulations is in eastern MA where snow will be heavier for longer given proximity to the ocean storm.
Northern and Eastern areas will likely see at least a few flakes but any steady snow should be more of a south/west affair.
Highs today will range through the 30’s with the warmest temps right at the coast and lowest in the mountains.
Today will feature some more rain and snow especially in the morning as another weak storm passes along the frontal system to our south. The mountains look to stay mostly dry with this round while the foothills see flakes and the coast sees rain. All precip wraps up midday today but clouds and the isolated sprinkles/flurries will continue through the afternoon hours. A break of sun or two is possible along the coast but organized sun will hold off until tomorrow.
Today will feature a pretty even split between morning and afternoon. The morning will be spectacular with temps already in the upper 30’s and forecast to continue to rise. Clouds will be abundant however but a sunny break or two is likely along the coast mid/late morning. Highs today will be in the 45-55 degree range highest along the coast. By the afternoon hours, any sunny breaks will cloud over and precip looks to move in once again with rain becoming heavy at times this evening.
Rain will transition to snow in the far interior where 3-6″ of accumulation is expected this evening and the rain/snow line will continue to push south tonight reaching the coast by early tomorrow morning though little to no accumulation is expected.
Today will feature even warmer temps as SW winds continue to bring in warmer air. Despite that however, temps this morning are pretty chilly due to much of yesterday’s heat radiating out into space under clear skies and light winds. Highs today will reach the upper 30’s north and low to mid 40’s south. A sunny start is in store but expect clouds to quickly move into the area late morning/early afternoon and a few showers, either rain or snow, are likely by this evening. Along with clouds and temps, winds will also be on the increase out of the SW today as that warmer air continues to move in. Winds are likely to gust over 25 mph today with the highest winds in the afternoon.
Today will feature mostly sunny skies, relaxing winds, and moderating temps. Expect highs to range from the low 30’s in the north to the mid 30’s in the south. In terms of cloud cover, areas in the north have the best shot at seeing cloudy conditions this morning before everyone sees some clouds this afternoon.
The warming trend will continue this week culminating Thursday with some rain and the chance for a rumble of thunder.
