Rain on friday for the coast

Leave a comment

Models have been tracking a little bit farther west and that means rain for the coast as well as some freezing rain and snow at the very beginning. Snow/mix/freezing rain will all change over to rain around daybreak. Inland will see snoe changing to mix/freezing rain around midday and Te mountains will see mostly snow with occaionial sleet mixing in. Amounts will go as following: Southern coast as well as the immediate middcoast and southern interior-1-2″ inland and midcoast and foothills-3-6″ Mountains and North 4-8″.

Stay tuned!

Not as mild but still above average

Leave a comment

Today a cold front moved through the area bringing in cooler temps for the week topping out wednesday in the mid to lower 30s for southern NH and southern ME 30s south into CT and 40s South to Philadelphia. 50s into VA and MD. Thursday will be similar and partly cloudy like wednesday. Friday will feature precipitation in northern NE but is a little early to go into details.

Stay tuned!

Snowy stretch ahead for New England while Mid Atlantic Enjoys Mainly Quiet Weather

Leave a comment

Overview: Strong low pressure will move swiftly out the mouth of the St Laurence and has already pushed a cold front through overnight. Strong winds will develop behind the front bringing in cold air. Winds will gust to close to 50 mph out of the W or possibly WNW or NW. Tomorrow will feature clouding skies and a lot less wind. Thursday night will bring a clipper system to the area developing a coastal low in the southern Gulf Of Maine. These two systems will bring close to 6″ to the midcoast and Central Maine with 4-5″ along the coastal plain ( the waterline to around 10 miles inland) with 2-4″ in the mountains 3-5 is likely in the far north. Saturday will feature a second clipper system and coastal low so the results will be very similar to that of the Thursday night storm. Monday will feature yet another storm and since the models diverge and the storm is in the long range forecast details are uncertain but we do think that as of right now it looks like a wintry mix along the coast with more snow inland.

 

Details: Winds will pick up as the day goes on peaking at around 9am with 50+ mph gusts and sustained winds peaking at around the same time at 25-30 mph. This wind will bring in colder air and will set the stage for two systems which will affect the area Thursday and Saturday nights.These two systems will bring close to 6″ to the midcoast and Central Maine with 4-5″ along the coastal plain ( the waterline to around 10 miles inland) with 2-4″ in the mountains 3-5 is likely in the far north. After that we will find a quiet and cold end to the weekend. Monday however will be different with temps at the coast in the mid 30s so at this point it looks like a tricky forecast and a mix at the coast.

Mid Atlantic: Windy today but winds will calm as the day goes on and become cooler. This cooler air will set the stage for some flurries for Thursday night although the southern sections will not get too much precipitation in the next week with Thursday and Saturday nights being the only two times precipitation in the southern sections. The northern sections however will get some more prolonged snow showers Thursday and Saturday nights which could leave a coating to an inch on grassy surfaces.

Stay tuned!

Wet and unsettled beginning to the workweek

Leave a comment

As most of us are enjoying the long weekend ( myself included! ) There will be an unsettled beginning to the workweek. A system from the midwest will move in tonight with snow. Warmer air works in at around 9-11 am and we will see a mix with sleet and freezing rain  and eventually rain at the coast and will work inland from there.

Stay tuned!

Cold snap for the long weekend

Leave a comment

Saturday 7:00 am EST: With the snowstorm long past we turn our attention to a VERY cold weekend. Today will not be all that bad with highs in the mid 20s from about Augusta east to Port clyde, west to Montpelier VT south to near NYC. 30s can be expected for the Mid Atlantic region with clear skies overhead. Sunday however is the height of the cold snap with highs in the north and mountains reaching only to around +5 with lows approaching -20 in some mountain valleys. Elsewhere in NE highs in the teens north and 20s south. Mid Atlantic will experience the 20s in the north and 30s south.

Stay warm !!

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!!

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!!
