A Look Ahead to Cooler Times
Posted by Joe Joyce November 28, 2009 at 10:49 am
Plenty of Sunshine with less wind today will make this Sunday the Pick of the weekend. Highs will average above normal climbing into the lwr to mid 50’s in southern New England. Considering we should be in the mid 40’s this time of year, for the end of November we are doing great! Cooler air remains in place across the far north today with a few more clouds and highs only in the 30’s and lwr 40’s. It has been a great run this month. But the writing is on the wall and the inevitable cool down is on the way starting this week.
Monday we will be tracking a cold front across New England. This will come with a few showers mostly west in the morning, with steady showers at the coast for the afternoon. The mild flow ahead of the front will keep temps in the 50’s right at the coast…especially Southeast. Winds will pick up a bit too in the afternoon. The front will be off the coast by Monday night and a seasonably cool airmass will charge in for Tuesday. Highs will only be in the 30’s north and lwr-mid 40’s south, nothing too cool for this time of year….but it will seem very chilly after this very mild month…which has averaged 2-3 degrees above normal. Dry weather will remain in place through Wednesday, with our focus turning to the Gulf.
This next weather maker will be loaded with moisture. This wave of energy, which has origins in the Pacific, will tap Gulf of mexico Moisture and become a strengthening Low as it moves up the East coast and should track right through New England. This will come with some warm, tropical air…so I am expecting mostly rain to develop Wednesday Night into Thursday. Rain will be heavy at times with a few inches of rain possible. It will also be a quick moving system and the jetstream will help to keep this moving along. Behind this low will be cooler dry air to follow as pressure will rise behind this storm and allow a dry and cool 1st weekend of December.
Looking West, Arctic air will be plunging into the US this week and will start to become a major player in our December pattern for the weeks ahead. Winter is knock knock knockin’ on our door! Any winterizing of the home left to do should be done this week if you have been procrastinating in the mild November weather.
Nov 27, 2009- Strongest Storm Since..?
Posted by Tim Kelley November 27, 2009 at 8:36 pm
The barometer is down to 28.71″ (972 mb) in Bar Harbor ME. When is the last time our barometer read this low? I am not sure, but will do some research. The snow is raging in the hills of Western Maine, Northern New Hampshire, and the spine of The Green Mountains in Vermont. This image from Bretton Woods NH this afternoon., one of two ski area open in New England. Sunday River is also open. Most ski areas are getting snow, but will likely not open for a week or two.
Rainfall has also been intense with 2.1″ in Cornish, where we a change to snow occurred about 8 PM. As wind increases tonight, the pasting snow will weigh down trees causing power outages.
This storm is a result of a new weather pattern that will keep us on the cold on snowy side of the front for the most part well into December.

Wet & White Black Friday for New England
Posted by Danielle Niles November 27, 2009 at 11:16 am
Although it wasn’t a picture perfect Thanksgiving day, yesterday’s weather seems like a gift now in comparison to today’s. An energetic upper level disturbance coupled with cold air has been digging out of the Great Lakes and into the northeast. At the same time, a deep plume of moisture has been streaming up the east coast with a connection to the tropics. As the disturbance phases with the moisture feed it will make for a powerful storm today and tonight, tracking from near Nantucket into the Gulf of Maine. Read more
Near-blizzard conditions possible in North Country mountains, heavy rain south
Posted by Matt Noyes November 26, 2009 at 1:24 pm
The combination of strong energy moving east across the Ohio Valley and deep moisture moving north from the Gulf of Mexico will create a rapidly intensifying storm just off the coast of New England. This storm is likely to “bomb” – or rapidly intensify – on Friday as it moves north across Cape Cod and into the Gulf of Maine through Friday night…
