Hello everyone!

Today will feature spectacular late summer weather as slightly cooler and much drier air filters into the region from the west. Skies will remain mostly if not entirely sunny and temps will range from the mid 60s north to upper 70s south. Dew points will be delightfully low, ranging from the mid 40s to mid 50s. Overall, today’s a great day to get outside if you can! Warmer and more humid air will arrive beginning Monday.

Hello everyone!

A cold front is on the way this morning and will slide offshore within the next few hours. A few clouds are possible right along the front itself, but otherwise you won’t notice its passage until westerly breezes kick up later this morning. Those westerly breezes are bringing drier air into the region from the Midwest. Because we have winds from the west, downsloping will offset the temperature decline we’d expect to see with a cooler/drier airmass moving in. So coastal areas can expect highs in the low to mid 80s while the foothills enjoy mid/upper 70s and the mountains remain near 70. Skies will be mostly sunny across the area, except for a few upsloping spots in the Whites.

We’ll enjoy cooler temps tomorrow.

Hello everyone!

Unfortunately, we’re not quite done with summertime warmth and humidity as we begin moving into climatological fall. A series of weak near-surface frontal boundaries will meander aimlessly in our general vicinity today while warm air moves into the region aloft. That combination will support plenty of clouds, warm temps, and increased humidity. A few showers are also possible today, especially along the coast and in southern NH. While we’ll see more clouds than sun today, at least a few brighter patches are expected to develop especially in northern parts of the area. That patchy sunshine will team up with the warm air aloft to support highs in the mid/upper 70s north and low/mid 80s south. Temps will be cooler (mid 70s) right along the coastline due to onshore flow.

Hello everyone!

Today will feature cloudy skies and on/off drizzle or light showers as we get stuck between strong high pressure to the east and an advancing but weakening cold front to the west. Most shower activity associated with that front will remain to our west, but some will sneak into NH and far western ME from time to time. Otherwise, the name of the game today will be onshore flow and its associated cool temps, low clouds, and patchy drizzle. High temps across the region will fall within a few degrees of 70.

A round of more widespread showers is possible later this evening as storms from New York fall apart upon approach to ME/NH.

Hello everyone!

Today will feature continued cool temps and increasing clouds as a series of weak disturbances drift into the region from the west. As far as I can tell, most of the area is seeing low/mid-level clouds this morning, but if you aren’t already, a thicker cloud deck is en route from New York (especially for southern areas). I don’t think everyone will be overcast all day, some breaks of sun are likely this afternoon especially in northeastern parts of the area, but generally-speaking, today will be much cloudier than yesterday. Aside from a late-day sprinkle up in the mountains, today will be dry despite the clouds.

High temps today will range from near 70 up north and right along the coastline to near 80 in far southern NH.

Hello everyone!

Today will feature continued cool and dry weather as Canadian high pressure settles in overhead. With the arrival of that high, we’ll see much calmer winds compared to yesterday’s blustery northwesterlies. Light NW breezes this morning will become light southerly breezes by this evening. With cooler air still lingering overhead, we’ll get some afternoon cumulus to develop just like yesterday but overall, skies will tend to be considerably brighter today especially up in the mountains.

High temps today will range from the low/mid 60s up north to the low/mid 70s along the coastal plain.

Hello everyone!

After some much-needed rain yesterday, we’re back to 10/10 late-summer weather today. Northwesterly breezes mean free refills of refreshing Canadian air and aside from some upslope clouds in the mountains/foothills this morning, skies will be partly to mostly sunny (afternoon cumulus pop up as per usual with cool air aloft). Upslope clouds and any sprinkles they may contain will fade this afternoon. I wouldn’t be shocked to see one or two of our afternoon cumulus get tall enough to produce a rain shower or two but most of us should stay dry today.

High temps will range from the upper 50s up in the mountains to the mid 70s along the coastal plain.

Hello everyone!

After weeks of tracking Laura’s every move, the system has finally dissipated over Virginia as of this morning. All that’s left of the once-ferocious storm is a plume of tropical moisture that will slide through our area today ahead of an approaching cold front. That means that we’ll see a couple rounds of showers/storms capable of producing heavy rain.

The first round of showers is ongoing across NH as of 8:15 AM and is about to move into western Maine. So far there is no hint of lightning associated with this line but a rumble of thunder wouldn’t totally surprise me. Rain will arrive along the I-95/I-295 corridor in the next 30 minutes before sliding into the Midcoast closer to the 9-10 AM hour.

This first round of rain will be followed by a break mid/late afternoon. During this break, storms will be developing along the storm’s cold front to our west. Because we’ll be stuck in the clouds pretty much all day (except maybe the CT Valley), there won’t be enough instability to support a severe storm threat in our area once these storms arrive this evening. That said, as the storms weaken and move east, they will bring another round of showers to the area later in the evening (7 PM CT Valley to 11 PM along the ME Coast).

High temps today will range from near 60 in the north/mountains to the mid/upper 70s in southern NH. Drier air and sunnier skies arrive for tomorrow.

Hello everyone!

At least as far as the weather is concerned, today is going to be a great day. A frontal boundary remains draped south of the region which means we get to enjoy partly to mostly sunny skies, continued cool temperatures, and low humidity. Satellite imagery this morning shows bluebird conditions across most of Maine with a few mid-level clouds over southern NH and far southern York County, closer to the front. This is pretty much the cloud-cover pattern I’d expect to see today. Everyone should get some glimpses of sun, but they will be less common as you get closer to Massachusetts. Thankfully, the front is now far enough to our south that precipitation is not expected.

High temps today will range from the mid/upper 60s up north to the upper 70s in the south.

Get outside and enjoy today’s beautiful weather if you can! We’ll get some much-needed rain tomorrow as the remnants of Laura race offshore to our south.

Hello everyone!

Cool weather will continue today as northwesterly breezes continue pushing Canadian air into the region. Unlike yesterday, we have a warm front located to our southwest this morning so much of the southwestern half of the area is experiencing overcast skies. This will continue throughout the day as that front remains more or less stationary. The farther northeast you go, the more sunshine you’ll be able to enjoy.

Parts of the area closest to the front, in southern NH, will see a couple rounds of shower/thunderstorm activity pass through today. One is ongoing as of 9 AM while a couple more are waiting in the wings over northern NY. Because we’re on the cool side of the front, these storms are unlikely to be severe but rumbles of thunder and some breezy conditions are possible. Precipitation will be most widespread early this afternoon when some rain showers could make it as far north as the White Mountains of NH and York/Cumberland/southern Oxford counties up in Maine. Dry weather and sunshine then steadily makes a comeback for the evening.

High temps today will range from the upper 50s/low 60s in the mountains and far SW NH to the low/mid 70s along Maine’s coastal plain.
