I have journeyed outside for the first time this morning and the snow is accumulating fast. I now expect something like 5-9″ here along the mainland coast with pure rain along the coast south of Portland. I will continue to monitor the forecast as the complex patterns above our heads keep arguing over weather it should be a rain storm or a snow storm.

Stay tuned!

Sadly the warm air has won and we should not expect very significant accumulations if any.

Stay tuned!

More brand new forecasts…  As of 7:10 the cold air is winning the battle and very little changeover is expected. As a result I will update my forecast amount of snow to 2-4″ along the coast south of Portland, 6-10″ along the mainland coast between Portland and Bar Harbor, 3-5 along the coast from Bar Harbor to Eastport. Snow amounts will range from only a dusting in Aroostook county to 8-12 in the foothills to 6-10 in the westernmost mountains to 5-8 in inland York county. Here are the updated ETAs of the snow: Providence RI about 8:00, Worechester MA about 8:00, Boston MA about 8:20, Manchester NH about 8:30, Kittery ME about 9:00, Portland ME about 9:30, and Yarmouth ME about 9:45.

Wind predictions have risin to sustained @35mph with gusts @45-50mph.

Stay tuned!

The main precipitation shield is approaching Hartford CT and will continue to overspread the NE area this evening. With a slightly more westerly track there will be more changeover along the southern coast. As we have a greater changeover potential I will adjust my snowfall predictions for the coast to 4-8″ with 7-11″ inland. Wind forecasts remain the same. The precipitation will arrive in Boston MA at approximately 8:00, at Springfield MA at approximately 7:15, Manchester NH at approximately 8:20, at Kittery ME at approximately 9:00, Portland ME at approximately 9:30, and Yarmouth ME at approximately 9:45. All precipitation will end late Wednesday afternoon with clear skies for turkey day.

Stay tuned!

The center of this Rapidly strengthening and rapidly moving storm is now located near Indianapolis with a pressure of 994 millibars. As I look at the radar I will have to adjust my estimated time of precipitation arrival for the three cites I have been featuring. These are Yarmouth ME, Boston MA, and Hartford CT. If your town/city is not on here feel free to post a comment with your town/city and I will try my best to make a forecast for you. For these 3 cities these are the times for rain/snow arrival: Yarmouth 8:30, Boston 6:00, and Hartford 3:30. I will expand this list as time goes on. Snow and wind predictions remain the same.

Stay tuned!
