We’re starting off the week with a raw and cloudy forecast, even a few showers (or flurries, depending on elevation) sprinkled in there as well. This cold punch isn’t expected to last long, but tonight will be the coldest night, despite some cloud cover and stray light precipitation. Elevations above 3,000 feet should see temperatures …

The cold front came through with heavy rain and even some thunderstorms last night, but the cooler air slowly sets in now with the first proper cold shot of the season. An upper-level low overhead reinforces clouds and even rain/snow showers for Monday and Tuesday, allowing that cold air to truly settle in. Temperatures drop …

For the past couple of weeks, we’ve been highlighting the necessity of the tropics to shut down before we can get cold shots in and try to sustain it for any reasonable amount of time. There’s one disturbance in the middle of the Atlantic meandering around with a 0% chance of formation in the next …
Not much cold to talk about this week, but some of the cooler overnights have really started to peak the foliage in the higher elevations. We hiked Rumford Whitecap this weekend, which is right next to Black Mountain ski area in Maine. Tuesday and Wednesday will be rather warm before a cold front comes through. …

There’s still not much excitement for the long range right now, but the good news is that we’re not seeing any major warmth on the horizon either. Cool air returns this weekend and next week we’ll have another repeat of the middle of this week; highs in the 60’s and maybe a 70 or two, …

October has arrived and we’re keeping our eyes on the cold, though it’s going to be hard to come by for a while. There’s not much excitement in this week’s long term views, as I don’t see much in the way of any cold in the next two weeks. Frosts are going to be late …
We have a busy week ahead with weather systems – that will bring a wide variety of temperatures to the area. Temperatures warm into the midweek before a cold front comes through Wednesday. We’ll have a low pressure move along the front, which brings rain to the area, though we may see some snow on …
We’ve had a cut-off low in the Great Lakes that’s been circling up there for a couple days now. Combine that with a southern stream piece of energy flying up at the east coast, and we have ourselves a mid-April nor’easter – something we’ve been eyeing and watching for since late last week. You can …
With the warmth of last week, the season is winding down quickly heading into this weekend. It was certainly a season filled with twists and turns from Mother Nature. Looking ahead to this week and the weekend, we have dueling spring/winter feels coming in with a cut-off upper level low that will keep clouds and …
