Leave a comment

We are tracking some temperature swings with highs tomorrow in the lower 40s in the south and coast while highs in the upper 30s inland, in the north, and in the mountains. On Wednesday, high temps will reach freezing in most spots with below freezing temps north of Portland-Manchester-Syracuse-Buffalo. Thursday  will feature rain anywhere along the 95 corridor. Mix is expected within about a 30 mile radius north and west of 95. snow can be expected north and west of the mix/snow line. The mid atlantic will experience an all rain event.

Stay tuned as we fine tune the forecast!!

Midnight:
Clearing with a few breaks in the clouds. Winds shifting to the WNW at 10 mph. Temperatures will dip into the low 20s as opposed to around 30.

6 am tomorrow:
Low clouds with winds shifting more to the north.

Nowcast for Midcoast

Midnight:
Clear except for a few scattered low clouds in the North. Winds shifting from W to WNW.

6 am tomorrow:
Clear. Light and Variable winds for most of the area but light W winds in the far North.

Stay tuned and have a happy New Year.

Best wishes for 2012!

Stormy new year

Leave a comment

Christmas is now came and gone but we all start the New years rush. Travelling and partying, staying up until  midnight and of course for us meteorologists the start to the notorious snowy months of January and Febuary. We are watching several storms in the coming week. The first will hit on wednesday with heavy rain and strong winds. Number 2 on the storm production line will hit Friday into New Years Eve with light snow.

Stay tuned!
