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.

Chillier today

If you thought yesterday was great, today will be even better. Temps will be in the lower 30’s across most of New England. Winds will be similar to yesterday though they will turn northerly with time. Full sun is expected through the day today and likely will extend into tomorrow.

Wet start, cool and breezy finish today

As a cold front passes through this morning, rain/snow showers will push through however, most will be dry by mid-morning. Behind the front lies the coldest air of the season and some breezy conditions to transport this air from Canada. The remainder of the week looks storm free and cool before a warm up late in the week.

Flurries tomorrow morning

A cold front will cross the region tonight with a few snow/rain showers even at the coast. Here in Yarmouth, we have yet to see our first flakes. Tomorrow morning may just present that opportunity. With sparse moisture and warm ground temps, I expect little accumulations. Below is a map detailing my thoughts on accumulations.

Warming up today

Today, a departing high pressure system will bring warmer temps to the area. Areas in far northern Maine will likely only top out in the 40’s but elsewhere, it looks like 50’s are a safe bet. Tomorrow, 60’s return along with some rain. Enjoy!

Today will feature mostly sunny skies, and like yesterday, will be very chilly with temps rising into the 40’s.

Sunny and cool today

Today, we will see very cold temps this morning anywhere from 15 or so in far northern ME to around freezing in southwestern CT. Sunny skies will dominate today and tomorrow as a VERY strong high pressure area dawdles around the region. Enjoy!

Halloween forecast

For Halloween, we have cloudy skies and cool temps. A warm front moving out of the Mid-Atlantic states will bring some showers to the area right around trick-or-treating time so look out for that. Otherwise, look forward to a stormy day tomorrow!

Cloudy and cool today

Today, high pressure shifts offshore and a storm system in the Southern Plains will start to spread clouds into the region today. Temps will still be cool with morning temps in the 20’s and 30’s. Looks like Halloween night will be wet with periods of rain, more frequent as the night progresses.

Cooler today

Yesterday, windy conditions prevailed due to the passage of a cold front. Today, winds have relaxed but the cold air is in full control with the high temps struggling to get out of the 40’s. Full sun is expected with the exception of a few clouds over far northwestern Maine. Enjoy, rain is slated to arrive for Halloween!

Windy today

Today, a cold front will move in from the west and ahead of it, high clouds and breezy conditions will be common. Winds will be out of we SW backing to the W at between 15-20mph. Ahead of the front high cirrus clouds will develop as well. The front will pass through tonight with showers in northern ME and the chance for a sprinkle elsewhere.
