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 continued mild weather with picture-perfect weather during the morning and more unsettled conditions during the afternoon. Look for high temps to range from near 60 along the Midcoast to the mid 60s up in the mountains to the mid 70s in the foothills. A sea breeze will kick up this afternoon and push cooler air relatively far inland but not after several hours of warmth earlier in the day.
Skies will start out mostly sunny this morning before instability develops this afternoon and clouds start bubbling up. Some of these clouds will grow tall enough to produce some showers and perhaps a rumble or two of thunder. While no severe weather is expected given the lack of wind throughout the atmosphere, some cells could produce brief bouts of gusty wind by generating pockets of cold air from evaporating rain. Not everyone will see storms this afternoon, and the best chance is inland, especially farther northeast towards Augusta/Waterville.
Today will feature mild and somewhat unsettled weather as we see another frontal boundary wander our way from Canada. As with the last few days, skies will start off mostly sunny during the morning with clouds bubbling up during the afternoon. Some of those clouds will bubble up enough to produce a few showers, especially in northern and western parts of the area. High temps will be a bit warmer than yesterday, ranging from the low 60s up north to the mid 70s in central NH.
Today will feature another round of afternoon showers as cool air aloft continues to support some instability near the surface. The best shot for showers today will once again be after noon and north of Portland. Spots near and north of Route 2 may see enough instability for some thunder, small hail, and gusty winds, though no severe weather is expected as of now. High temps will range from the high 50s up north to the high 60s in southern NH. Skies will start out mostly sunny before clouds bubble up during the afternoon.
Today will feature partly to mostly sunny skies this morning giving way to mostly cloudy skies this afternoon with a chance of pop-up showers and thunderstorms. Not everyone will see rain this afternoon, and the odds are highest north of Portland. Any showers that form could produce some thunder, small hail, and gusty winds given some support from a pocket of colder air aloft.
High temps will range from around 50 up north to around 60 in the south. Westerly winds will keep the sea breeze at bay allowing for mild air to push all the way to the coastline.
Today won’t be picture-perfect, at least not for the whole day, but it won’t exactly be bad either. A weak storm system is sliding off of Cape Cod this morning and clouds/a few showers are still lingering near the coast as a result. Those clouds will follow the storm off towards Nova Scotia this morning and by mid/late morning, skies should be mostly sunny across the area with temps rising into the low/mid 60s for most.
This afternoon, that sunshine combined with the pocket of cool air aloft that is supporting the aforementioned storm will produce a bit of instability in the lower atmosphere. The result will be an increase in clouds and pop-up showers. The best chance for a few mid-afternoon raindrops will be up in the foothills and mountains as a sea breeze will help stabilize the coast a bit. That said, I’m not sure a brief shower can entirely be ruled out anywhere except perhaps for the Camden/Rockport area where the marine influence will be strongest and the morning clouds slowest to depart.
Today looks pretty good weather-wise as we enjoy high pressure ahead of our next storm system slowly approaching from the west. Look for skies to start out mostly sunny this morning before some clouds move in ahead of this next system during the afternoon. Temps will range from the mid 50s up in the mountains to the mid 60s along the coast. This afternoon, just enough instability may develop to support a few brief showers. The best chance for a few raindrops will be from the White Mountains over towards Augusta. If any rain does fall, it should be brief and after 2-3 PM.
Today will feature cool temps and cloudy skies as a strong ocean storm develops well to our east. High temps will range from the low 50s north and east of Augusta to the upper 50s across much of interior Maine and southern NH. Most of this storm’s precipitation will remain off to our east, but a few showers are possible in Penobscot bay as well as the mountains of central NH/far western Maine this afternoon. Most of us should be dry for most of the day though.
There’s not much to say about today’s weather except that it will be pretty great. Temps will rebound into the high 50s north and mid 60s south. Skies will be mostly sunny with just a few high clouds drifting over western areas this afternoon. No precip to think about. Get outside and enjoy it!
Northwesterly breezes behind yesterday’s storm system will bring brighter skies back into the mix for much of our area today, especially downwind of the mountains. The sunshine will help offset the cooling effect of the incoming Canadian airmass, and temps will range from the mid 40s up north to the mid 50s along the coast this afternoon. A few spotty showers can’t be ruled out northeast of Augusta as some instability develops on the southwestern edge of that storm system this afternoon. Otherwise, today will be mostly dry.
Today will feature cool temps and showery weather as a couple more storms pass near and over the region. The first round of steady rain moved through earlier this morning, and lighter/more showery activity is now in progress over much of the area. This will continue into the mid afternoon hours at which point another round of steadier rain will arrive from the southwest. Temps will remain on the cooler side as we sit under thick overcast and onshore flow. Look for highs ranging from the mid 40s across most of Maine to the low 50s over in the CT Valley.
