Hello everyone!

Today will feature the return of unsettled weather as two cold fronts linger near the region. The first front sits offshore this morning, and has more moisture (and thus rain) associated with it. This front will remain stationary for most of the day before moving slowly east this evening. It will likely be responsible for a period of steady rain along the midcoast east of Bath during the late afternoon/early evening hours.

The second front is moving into the region from the west. It currently doesn’t have much moisture, but is producing some shower activity off to our west. This front will bring some scattered shower activity to the mountains today before moving offshore this evening. A noticeably colder airmass will move in behind this system for the rest of the week, setting up our first snowfall event on Thursday night.

High temps today will be on the milder side, ranging from 45 in the north to 55 in the south.

Hello everyone!

Today will feature the gradual return of some cloud cover as a cold front approaches from the west. Expect a sunny start for most of the area before clouds slowly arrive from west to east this afternoon. Temps will remain on the chillier side, ranging from around or a little above 40 in the north to right around 50 along the NH Seacoast. Any light precip associated with the approaching front will hold off until late tonight/early tomorrow morning.

Hello everyone!

Today will feature more quiet weather as the pattern over North America shifts towards one that is unfavorable for generating big storms. A very weak cold front will slide through the region today, but aside from a few clouds passing overhead, you’ll hardly notice its presence. Expect another day of partly to mostly sunny skies (outside the typical mountain upslope regions) and temps on the cooler side, with highs ranging from 40 in the north to a little above 50 in the south.

Hello everyone!

Today will feature quiet weather as high pressure drifts overhead following yesterday’s cold frontal passage. Expect mostly sunny skies across the region, along with cooler temps as our Canadian airmass settles in. Highs will range from around 40 in the mountains to a little below 50 in SE NH. Winds will be fairly calm today, but will turn towards the southeast this evening so I wouldn’t be surprised if a few low clouds move in off the water around sunset, especially NE of Portland.

Don’t forget that today marks the last day of Daylight Saving Time, and thus we will “fall back” by an hour tonight. For those who still have clocks of the analog variety, it’s time to get those dials cranking (is that actually how that works?). Enjoy the well-deserved extra hour of sleep!

Hello everyone!

A strong cold front is moving through the region this morning, and we’ll spend most of today in its wake. This means that winds will be quite gusty out of the WSW, and temps will be falling. The wind gusts could exceed 40 mph especially in the mountains. These winds will delay restoration of power to those that lost it last night, and may cause some new outages as well. Winds will be strongest early this afternoon before tapering off this evening.

Meanwhile, temps will be falling quickly as a colder airmass surges in from the west. Current temps are in the 50’s across NH and low/mid 60’s across much of Maine. By noon, expect temps in the mid 40’s across most of NH (except for SE areas) and the mountains of Maine, while the coastal plain sees temps in the low to mid 50’s. Temps will fall further, into the mid/upper 30’s for northern/western areas and low/mid 40’s for the coast, by this evening.

As far as precipitation goes, showers currently impacting the area will move east in the next 2-3 hours, and dry conditions will remain for the rest of the day along with some developing sunshine especially in southern/eastern areas.

Hello everyone!

Today will feature unsettled weather as a large storm system develops to our west. The system’s warm front is currently producing showers across much of Western Maine as I write this shortly before 8 AM. These showers will gradually lift north today, and everyone can expect intermittent light/moderate rain for much of today as more showers move north out of Massachusetts. Later this afternoon/evening, the warm front will push north of the region, leading to a decrease in shower activity. Temps today will be quite warm due SW winds behind the front pushing a tropical airmass in our direction. Look for highs ranging from around 60 in the north to around 70 in SE NH.

If your family is heading out for some trick-or-treating this evening, be advised that scattered showers are possible, but it won’t be a washout. Temps in the 5-9 PM timeframe will be comfortably warm, in the low to mid 60’s for most.

A line of gusty showers will approach the region from the west late tonight before gusty westerly winds bring drier air back into the region tomorrow.

Hello everyone!

Today we’ll remain stuck with the low cloud cover that we’ve been dealing with for the past couple days. Several stations are reporting some drizzle and fog associated with the low cloud deck this morning, so don’t be surprised if you run into some patches of low visibility on the roads over the next few hours.

A subtle wind shift from the SSE to SSW today will result in a slightly thinner cloud deck compared to yesterday, so we may actually see a few patches of sun especially in southwestern parts of the region. This patchy sunshine will help push temps a bit warmer than recent days, with highs ranging from 55 in the north to 65 in the south.

We should stay mostly dry through the day today with the exception of morning drizzle. Steadier and heavier rain will arrive tomorrow.

Hello everyone!

Today’s weather will look a lot like yesterday’s with dry conditions and cloudy skies. Today’s low clouds (and associated patchy drizzle/fog) will be brought to you by light southeasterly breezes bringing moisture in off the Gulf of Maine. As was the case yesterday, these clouds won’t be deep enough to produce any rain due to a lack of large-scale upward motion as we remain on the edge of relatively strong high pressure. High temps look pretty similar to those we saw yesterday, albeit a bit warmer, ranging from the upper 40’s in the north to the upper 50’s in southern NH.

Hello everyone!

Today will feature cool temps and cloudy skies as yesterday’s storm system meanders just to our east. The storm is too far east to bring us any rain today, but there’s a fairly thick low cloud deck that we’ll be stuck with for all of today, and much of tomorrow as well. In addition to the cloudiness, some patchy fog and drizzle is possible especially this morning. The aforementioned low clouds will keep temps on the cooler side with highs ranging from 45 in the north to 55 in SW NH.

Hello everyone!

Our next storm system will arrive from the west today, and will bring another round of steady rain to the region. Rain is already falling across much of NH and far SW ME as of 8 AM, and rain will continue to spread NE over the next few hours. It’s possible that the first few raindrops actually fall as snowflakes or ice pellets in the mountains and foothills, but no accumulation is expected. High temps will be on the chillier side, ranging from the upper 30’s in the mountains to around 50 along the coast. Steady rain will be with us through the rest of the day before departing tonight.
