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.
High pressure will slide across the region today, resulting in cooler and quieter weather. Most of the area is reporting cloudy skies as of 9 AM, but some breaks in the clouds are likely over the next few hours before the next storm system begins spreading its cloudiness in our direction. No precipitation is expected anywhere in the region today. High temps will be on the cooler side, ranging from 45 in the north to just above 55 in the south.
Today will feature cloudy skies and dry conditions as a weak mid level frontal boundary drifts overhead. Nearly the entire region will experience overcast skies today, with a few sunny breaks possible in the south. Thankfully, the low levels of the atmosphere will be quite dry so no precip is expected outside of a stray shower over the mountains this afternoon. High temps will be noticeably cooler than yesterday, ranging from 45 in the north to 60 in the south.
Today will feature milder weather as a cold front drifts slowly through the Saint Lawrence valley and southwesterly winds carry warmer air into the region. Expect high temps to range from around 60 in the north to 65 in the south. Skies will start off clear across the region, but some clouds will stray into northern and western parts of the area later this afternoon as that front drifts slightly closer. No precip is expected.
Current radar imagery shows plenty of rain impacting the area as a weak storm system moves north through Massachusetts. This rain will be heavy at times over the next few hours, but will be gradually departing as that system moves past the area during the afternoon. Expect dry conditions across NH by the mid/late morning hours (10-11 AM), with the rain moving out of our part of Maine by mid afternoon (2-3PM).
Breezy easterly winds ahead of the storm center this morning will be replaced with gentle westerly breezes behind the system this afternoon. As that wind shift occurs, expect quick clearing from west to east. Everyone will see sunshine by this afternoon as the storm moves up into Canada.
The airmass behind this storm is relatively warm, having arrived from the Midwest instead of Canada. As a result, high temps will be on the warmer side today ranging from around 50 in the far north to 65 in SE NH.
Today will feature the return of overcast skies as our next cold front moves in from the west. While clouds are already here, the system’s rain will remain well to our west for most of the day today. Expect showers to arrive in western NH and along the SW coast of Maine/NH between 7 and 9 this evening before spreading NE tonight. High temps will be seasonably cool, ranging from the low 50’s in the north to around 60 in southern NH.
Today will feature pleasant fall weather as a weak coastal storm slides offshore well to our south and high pressure builds in from Canada. Expect low clouds and fog currently observed across much of the area to burn off this morning, giving way to mostly sunny skies for the afternoon. Temps will be seasonably warm, ranging from a few degrees below 60 in the north to a few degrees above 60 in the south.
Today will feature more cool temps and cloudy skies as yesterday’s storm drifts slowly through the Bay of Fundy. Expect NW breezes to continue on the back side of that storm, though they won’t be as strong as they were yesterday. The NW winds will also set up a classic upslope/downslope pattern for both cloud cover and temperatures. The mountains will see temps in the low to mid 40’s under mostly cloudy skies while the coastline will enjoy temps in the mid 50’s under partly to mostly sunny skies. Aside from a brief shower or two in the mountains this morning, today will be a dry one across the area.
Today will feature generally cool and unsettled weather as the center of last night’s storm meanders through the area. The worst of the storm is done as the low level jet that brought last night’s powerful winds moves up into New Brunswick. We’ll be stuck with the leftovers today in the form of clouds, showers, and some breezy conditions. The best chance for showers and gusty NW winds will be in southwestern NH, SW of the low’s center. Most of Maine will enjoy copious drizzle today as low level moisture sticks around while the mid/upper levels dry out. A few heavier showers are possible along the coastal plain this evening as the low moves east.
Temps will be on the chillier side for the whole region with highs in the low 40’s over the CT valley. The rest of the area will see temps generally falling from current readings in the mid 50’s to the upper 40’s by this evening.
Today will feature the return of overcast skies as our first major Nor’easter of the season begins developing to our southwest. Thankfully, we’ll enjoy a couple hours of sunshine this morning before the clouds arrive from west to east during the midday hours. High temps today will be a few degrees warmer as mild air drifts in on southeasterly winds. The mountains will top out in the low to mid 50’s while southern areas get up into the mid 60’s. You’ll notice a breeze picking up out of the east-southeast this evening, but otherwise today will be a fairly classic “calm before the storm” day. Showers will break out during the evening across much of NH, but won’t become heavy until later tonight.
The heavy rain and strong winds will arrive from the southwest tonight as low pressure rapidly intensifies on approach to Long Island. The heaviest rain and strongest wind will be focused in a band that will arrive in Southern NH between 2 and 3 AM before moving north through Portland around 6 AM and eventually weakening north of Waterville between 9 and 10 AM. This band will bring torrential downpours and wind gusts between 45 and 55 mph, which could lead to some scattered power outages. I’ll have more detailed info on tomorrow’s weather around this time tomorrow morning.
Today will feature cool temps and clear skies as high pressure passes just to our south. High temps will range from around 50 in the north to around 60 in the south, and no precipitation is expected. Otherwise, there’s not much else to say about today’s weather. Get outside and enjoy it! Our first strong storm of the season will arrive tomorrow night into Thursday morning with heavy rain and gusty winds.
