The ocean storm that has been swirling to our south for the past several days is sending coastal regions one last parting gift before it retreats towards the Bahamas. That parting gift will come in the form of cool onshore breezes and a batch of low clouds that will pivot in from the Gulf of Maine this afternoon/evening. Highs along the coast will be stuck in the low to mid 50s while temps warm easily into the upper 60s/low 70s inland under mostly sunny skies.
Picture-perfect spring weather will continue today as high pressure pushes in from the northeast. With an ocean storm still spinning well to our south, we’ll still be dealing with some easterly breezes which will keep temps down along the coast. Highs from Rockland to Portland will sit in the mid 50s. Farther north, where east-northeasterly winds pass over Downeast Maine rather than the Gulf of Maine, temps will rise into the upper 60s and low 70s. Clear skies will generally be the rule across the area. Enjoy the lovely spring weather!
We’re still stuck between an ocean storm to our south and Canadian high pressure to our north which means easterly breezes and somewhat cooler temps especially along the coast. Look for highs ranging from the low 50s along the shoreline to around 60 in southern NH to the mid or even high 60s north and east of Lewiston. While easterly breezes will cool things off especially near the water, abundant sunshine will help make it feel warm out, especially away from the coast.
It will be a quiet, albeit somewhat gray day here in northern New England as an elongated area of low pressure slides east to our south. The low doesn’t have a lot of northward momentum, and we’re being staunchly defended by a capable garrison of Canadian dry air. At least near the surface. Aloft, moisture is having an easier time reaching our latitude which means that clouds will be on the increase today especially in southern parts of the area. If you head farther north into a corridor extending from the Maine mountains over towards Belfast, you may actually enjoy quite a bit of sunshine today. Northwesterly breezes will continue to push drier air into the area and will help hold the afternoon sea breeze to the immediate shoreline. High temps will range from the low 50s up in the mountains and along the immediate shoreline to the upper 60s in interior southern NH.
Today will feature gorgeous 10/10 spring weather as high pressure slides towards the region from the west. Look for mostly sunny skies, steady but manageable NW breezes, and temps rising into the mid 50s north and upper 60s south. Pleasantly cool, dry, and clear- what more could you ask for! Make sure to get outside and enjoy it.
We have to push through at least a few of these days each spring right? A weak storm system will be approaching from the west today which means cool temps, onshore flow, and a nice steady rain. Rain is already ongoing in the mountains, NH, and far western Maine and any remaining dry spots along the Maine coast won’t remain that way for long. Rain will continue steadily through most of the day before the storm begins to depart from west to east in the late afternoon/early evening. High temps will range from the low 40s right along the coast to around 50 in the foothills.
A warm front has decided to bite the dust basically right overhead this morning which means we’ll be left with plenty of cloud cover and cooler temps thanks to winds off the water. Look for highs ranging from the mid 50s in the CT Valley and points northeast of Augusta to around 50 along the shoreline and up in the mountains. Low clouds are widespread this morning, though some thin patches are beginning to emerge. The low cloud deck should generally hold tough through most of the day, though it may start to thin out a bit more this afternoon. Overall though, gray is the way today. Some patchy drizzle and fog can’t be ruled out given the low cloud deck and onshore flow, but there will be very little in the way of large-scale precipitation today.
A weakening storm system over the Great Lakes is trying to push into our area today as we’re defended by a strong high pressure system over eastern Quebec. For those in the south and west, particularly NH, the storm will wrestle control over much of today’s weather while those in the north and east will enjoy the high pressure’s way of life (at least for most of the day). Most of the area is starting out clear this morning with just a few high clouds working into southern NH. As the day goes on, look for clouds to slowly creep northeast reaching Portland midday. The Maine mountains will be able to hold onto the sunshine for the longest with clouds arriving just in time for sunset. Some of the clouds will be dropping light rain showers, but overall precipitation looks quite minimal.
Ahead of this front, winds will turn onshore which puts the chilliest temps along the coast and the warmest temps up in the northern and eastern mountains. Look for highs in the upper 40s to low 50s along the shoreline and upper 50s to low 60s northeast of Farmington.
Today will feature somewhat warmer temps as we’re able to tap into some warmer air aloft along with more widespread sunshine and weaker northerly winds. Highs will rise into the upper 60s across much of NH outside the White Mountains along with adjacent parts of interior SW Maine. To the east, the weaker background northerlies will allow a strong sea breeze to develop this afternoon which will hold the coastal plain in the 50s. To the north, one last little disturbance will make a run at the region from the northeast with some more clouds and cooler temps in the mid 50s.
Today will feature slightly warmer temps and slightly brighter skies, especially this morning, as an ocean storm to our east slowly loosens its grip on our area. Morning sunshine will push temps into the mid 40s up north and mid/upper 50s in the south by midday. That will support some increased cloud cover during the afternoon thanks to cooler air aloft. Northerly breezes will continue to be noticeable, though won’t be as strong as in recent days.
