As I run through the model data, I see I will need to tweak a few things in the “Nowcast” for tonight. A Nowcast is a very short range outlook that is only for a few hours out.
Nowcast for New England
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.

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!

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!
