Quiet weather compared to the rest of the nation…

Posted by Danielle Niles Yesterday at 8:21 am

Whatever sunshine is left out there this morning will fade behind increasing clouds throughout the afternoon today. Temperatures will rise into the 40s in northern New England and at our coastlines with a wind off the water. The interior will manage to squeeze out another day in the 50s. My forecast thinking hasn’t changed too much, although I should add that there’s a slight chance of a passing shower or sprinkle today in advance of a warm front over southern New Jersey. This front will turn stationary tonight and tomorrow, meaning steady rain stays to our south…for now. Read more

Enjoy the sunshine while it lasts!

You’ll need those shades again today because the sun just won’t stop shining (and I’m ok with that)! We’re going on Day 5 of beautiful weather here in New England, but this trend won’t last too much longer, so enjoy it while it lasts. Take a look at the forecast diagram for Concord, NH above…notice the daily sunshine duration row…ZERO sun forecast for Friday through Monday. Check out other cities by heading to weather.us. Tomorrow will start off with sunshine, but clouds will increase throughout the day in advance of the next storm. Thursday night could feature a few light showers and areas of drizzle, but there is enough dry air in place across the region that the bulk of the moisture will hold off until the weekend. Read more

Beautiful weather for now, but turning unsettled by week’s end

Posted by Danielle Niles March 9, 2010 (3 days ago) at 9:00 am

What a gorgeous stretch of weather we’ve had across New England over the past several days! Temperatures yesterday soared well into the 50s and lower 60s. Portland, ME broke their previous record high of 54° (1995) reaching 56° and Bangor, ME tied their previous record of 52° (1995).

Today will be slightly cooler in the wake of a weak cold front passage overnight, but highs will still come into the 50s in southern New England, 40s central and 30s in the North Country. This cold front also brought in a reinforcing shot of dry air, and in turn, sunshine will be the rule once again this afternoon. Read more

Beautiful weekend forecast!

The official start to spring may still be 15 days away, but the feeling of spring will certainly be in the air this weekend! Don’t put away the winter gear just yet though…the mercury will dip into the 20s tonight under clear skies, so you’ll need the jacket, gloves and hat if you’re headed out. Under tomorrow’s virtually cloudless sky, we’ll be breaking out the shades (and maybe even the shorts!) as temperatures climb into the 50s. Read more

Unsettled weather to take center stage in New England this week

Posted by Danielle Niles February 22, 2010 (3 weeks ago) at 8:14 am

Good Monday morning everybody! I hope you had a chance to enjoy the weather this weekend, because the overall pattern here in the Northeast will turn very unsettled starting tomorrow, lasting through this weekend. For Ski Country and all you snow lovers, get pumped – we could be talking about 2 to 3 FEET of snow across the mountains over the next week! And for those of you who may be getting a little sick of Old Man Winter, the official start to spring is only 26 days away…and we have mild sunshine to enjoy today! Read more

Quiet Presidents’ Day but snow’s on the way!

Posted by Danielle Niles February 14, 2010 (4 weeks ago) at 10:38 pm

The quiet weather pattern across New England continues tonight as partial clearing takes place and the mercury drops into the upper teens and 20s. We’ll have sunshine to start off our Presidents’ Day although northern New England will remain mostly cloudy with a few stray mountain flurries. Temperatures will rise into the 30s for most of us, perhaps flirting with 40 in southern New England. Sunshine will fade behind increasing high altitude clouds late in the day out ahead of a developing storm in the Ohio Valley. So what does this system have in store for us on Tuesday? Read more

More snow for the Mid-Atlantic and New England this time too

Posted by Danielle Niles February 8, 2010 at 9:20 am

The clean up continues across the Mid-Atlantic this Monday morning after a historic winter storm brought feet of heavy snow to the region this past Friday and Saturday. Baltimore, MD saw just over 2 FEET of snow from the storm, bringing their seasonal snowfall total to 60.4″, 4 FEET above what they would have normally received by now! Check out some of the other snowfall totals across the Mid-Atlantic! Here in New England, we’ve had above average snowfall amounts thus far this winter too, with Boston, MA running 3.7″ above the average, and Burlington, VT, an impressive 17.8″ above the norm.

With snow on the mind, we now turn our attention to the central U.S. where another storm is taking shape, slated to impact the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast by midweek. We’ll talk more about that in a second, but for now let’s focus on today’s weather -and the details are pretty straightforward. Read more

Snow squalls tomorrow are leading edge to arctic air

Posted by Danielle Niles January 27, 2010 at 11:13 am

It’s a quiet weather day across New England today, which is good news considering some of us are still feeling residual effects from Monday’s heavy rain. Flood warnings are up for a few of our rivers in northern New England as of this blog post. Ice jams are the primary culprit, which continue to cause flooding on the Kennebec River at Augusta, the Sugar River at West Claremont and the Piscataquis River at Dover Foxcroft. While the waters in each of these rivers are forecast to continue to recede as the day wears on, residents in and around these areas need to be alert to the possibility of sudden flooding. For the latest advisories, watches and warnings, head to the National Weather Service Eastern Region Headquarters, and for maps and graphs of current river conditions, check out the USGS Water Watch website.

Elsewhere across the region today, mostly sunny skies are the rule, with the exception of much of Vermont, northern NH and northern ME where the clouds win out, along with a few snow flurries too. Temperatures will rise into the lower 30s in the North Country to the lower 40s in far southern New England. And while some people consider this seasonable “warmth” a good thing, I can sympathize that this is not exactly welcome news for skiers, snowmobilers and the business’ that depend on them. Cold air is on the way to New England though, and will be ushered in by snow showers and squalls tomorrow afternoon and evening. Read more
