Predicting The Future is Impossible- Yet We Keep Trying
Posted by Tim Kelley April 30, 2009 at 8:08 pm
Our New England Forecast, always a bit tricky here on the edge of a continent and ocean, is especially difficult for this weekend. Our weather map shows a warm front arriving from New York for our Friday Morning. This is the same front that swept away our record heat Tuesday Night.
Though we are getting warmer air Friday, a lack of sunshine will hold temperature much lower than the 90s of Tuesday. That day was dry air from Texas, this is wet from Texas, where floods are slowly subsiding. For us, the rain will likely be non-flooding, but we are quite uncertain, as to how much rain is on the way. If you want to see a wild forecast,

Day #4 Record Warm New England- April 28, 2009
Posted by Tim Kelley April 28, 2009 at 6:19 pm
RECORD EVENT REPORT
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAY ME
520 PM EDT TUE APR 28 2009
…PORTLAND MAINE HAD THE HOTTEST TEMPERATURE EVER RECORDED IN THE
MONTH OF APRIL TODAY. THIS WAS ALSO THE FIRST TIME THE TEMPERATURE
TOPPED 90 DEGREES IN APRIL…
THE TEMPERATURE REACHED A SCORCHING 92 DEGREES AT THE PORTLANDJETPORT THIS AFTERNOON. THIS SHATTERED THE DAILY RECORD FOR APRIL
28TH WHICH WAS 81 DEGREES SET IN 1990.
THIS ALSO SHATTERED THE PREVIOUS ALL TIME HIGH TEMPERATURE OF 85
DEGREES FOR THE MONTH OF APRIL. THE 85 DEGREE RECORD OCCURRED ON
APRIL 21ST IN 1957 AND AGAIN ON APRIL 20TH IN 2005.
TEMPERATURE RECORDS AT THE PORTLAND JETPORT GO BACK TO 1941.
HOWEVER, TODAY`S 92 DEGREES ALSO TOPPED THE WARMEST READING EVER
RECORDED IN APRIL AT THE PORTLAND DOWNTOWN LOCATION. THAT RECORD WAS
89 DEGREES WHICH HAPPENED ON APRIL 20TH, 1927. DOWNTOWN RECORDS
BEGAN IN 1874 AND RAN THROUGH 1940.
THIS IS THE EARLIEST DATE IN THE YEAR PORTLAND HAS SEEN THE MERCURY
REACH THE 90 DEGREE PLATEAU. IN FACT THIS WOULD ALSO TIE THE SECOND
WARMEST READING EVER RECORDED IN THE MONTH OF MAY AT THE PORTLAND
JETPORT. ONLY MAY 31, 1987, WITH A HIGH OF 94, HAD A WARMER READING
THAN TODAY`S 92 DEGREES (THERE WERE FOUR DAYS IN MAY THAT EQUALED
THE 92 DEGREE READING).

Sky Scenes! Tuesday, April 28, 2009 – NECN at Comcast Cares Day
Posted by Matt Noyes April 28, 2009 at 7:35 am
This past weekend, for the second consecutive year, employees from NECN – half owned by Comcast – teamed up with Comcast employees from across New England to improve our community. Comcast Cares Day showcases the companies dedication to key community organizations and establishments across our region and the nation. Though Comcast employees fanned out across Comcast’s service area, our team of a few dozen volunteers centered on Camp Otter in Salem, NH. Camp Otter is a summer YMCA camp for kids that was hit hard by the ice storm of December of 2008, and sustained substantial damage to trees, cabins and the landscape. Ofcourse, I brought my digital camera along to document the clean up and reconstruction that we all worked so hard to make a reality. I hope you enjoy these pictures – to see the complete set, look for the album on my Facebook page – and for more on Comcast Cares Day, click here.
