Little snow for coast while inland and mountains get pummeled

Leave a comment

Warmer air has come into place this morning and as a result, snow should be limited at the coast while inland areas could receive up to 1′. Coastal areas should expect about anywhere from nothing to about 7-9″ all the way up the coastline. Travel will become tricky at around 8:00 or so when enough snow has fallen that travel should become a little tricky. It is not however the morning commute I am worried about, in the afternoon when a coat of snow, ice, slush, and water has built up I am worried about especially inland areas but the coast too will get slick and dangerous.

Stay tuned and stay safe!!

Winter storm tomorrow

Leave a comment

Wednesday 5:00: Forecasts have shifted dramatically this past week. Just 1 week ago the forecast was 50 and rain, now it is 33 and snow with freezing rain for Friday. There is some tricky parts in the forecast though. It looks like there will be a strong temperature difference between about 100 yards from the shore where the high will be around 32 or 33 and snow while even 100 yards offshore where highs will be in the upper 30s and rain. Amounts: islands and tips of peninsulas……………1-3″  Coast ( within about 1 mile of the water ) 4-6″   inland  8-12″ and mountains……………..7-9″. More updates in coming hours.

Stay tuned!!!

Thursday storm update

Leave a comment

Tuesday 6:00 pm: New updates coming in this evening showing that this storm will bring some welcome relief from the “snow drought” this season. This system will be a classic Nor’easter with a stiff NE wind throughout the day thursday. This NE wind will bring a possible mix at the immediate coast ( Islands and tips of peninsulas ) and southern sections of ME and NH. Early snowfall estimates go as following:      Coast………….3-6″
Inland………….4-8″
Mountains………….around 1′

Stay tuned!

Thursday snow with a mix possible at the coast

Leave a comment

Thursday has been a tricky forecast for the past several days but now the forecast has become more clear. The eventual type of precipitation is still uncertain and will depend on the actual track of the low. But we can eliminate some options. We can eliminate an all rain scenario for NE. Also we can eliminate an even partial snow scenario for the mid atlantic. It will be all rain there.

Stay tuned!!

Precipitation on Thursday type is still unclear

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!!

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!
