Stuff to make using the site easier ..

I use abbreviations for many things:
PB = Peterborough
Precip = Precipitation
SWS = Special Weather Statements
I will continue to add more to this list as I think of them.
I update the forecasts by 7AM and 7PM each day...more frequently if some weather thing is going on. On weekends by 9AM. The Polls page is located under the "Fun" tab in the main menu.

Make sure your browser is set to allow "pop-ups" from this site. I use them extensively and there is no danger of any viruses or anything like that.

I am based in Peterborough, NH, but the main forecasts (for now) are for Nashua, NH and the region. I send out an e-mail every Thursday that covers the upcoming weekend forecast. I also send out advisories when issued by the NWS to this list. You will NEVER get SPAM or e-mail from anyone else. I don't share my mail list with anyone. If you'd like to be a part of that mailing, send your e-mail address to: Mail List

How I started...

I've been a weather hobbyist all of my life. As a child, I used to stand outside in the rain during thunderstorms just to watch the lightning. Back in the '70s getting weather information was a chore. I remember listening to NWS broadcasts during hurricane season and plotting these on a piece of paper. After moving to New England I finally bought my first real weather station made by Davis Instruments. I began to record daily weather data in a journal. I had a few people, where I work, who knew I was a weather nut, ask me to send them an e-mail on the weekend forecast. So two grew to five then 15, then 40, and now my Thursday weekend mail list reaches over 200+ people. I took some web programming classes in the late '90s and a few years after that RichLefko.com was born. I wanted to share my hobby with anyone who was interested, and I am quite overwhelmed with how many people seem to be interested. I've gotten so many "thank you's" for a variety of reasons..."saved my party", "saved my wedding", "saved my life." It's been fun and rewarding all at the same time.
Thanks for visiting RichLefko.com. Please tell your friends and family.

Rich's Local Weather Discussion: Live Radar is ACTIVE

5/25 - 8:56 AM: Cloudy, showers, and cold today. Frankly, a miserable day ahead. Most areas are reporting light to moderate rain showers this morning. The heaviest rain is falling in Albany NY. This will shift east today. Low pressure off the Chatham coast this morning is just sitting there. That will keep us in a cool ocean flow with winds coming down from the northeast. A dry slot in SE MA may allow for some sunshine there and a break in the showers, but the low will begin to move north and showers will be everywhere. High temperatures will be at normal lows for this time of year with lows dropping into the mid and upper 30s. There may be some snow mixed in at higher elevations today if the rain really gets going. The winds will also pick up tonight. Showers continue into Sunday morning but begin to taper off as the low finally begins to move away. Windy with gusts to 30 mph on Sunday, still cold temps in the mid and upper 50s. Could be plenty frosty here by Sunday night so stay tuned. By the end of next week we could be in the upper 80s and 90s with high humidity.
SYNOPSIS...
A LOW PRESSURE JUST OFF THE COAST WILL SLOWLY MOVE NORTH THROUGH
TONIGHT. SOME IMPROVEMENT IS LIKELY SUNDAY AS THIS LOW DEPARTS
INTO NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND. MAINLY DRY WEATHER IS ANTICIPATED WITH
MODERATING TEMPS MONDAY INTO TUESDAY. A WARM FRONT WILL MOVE
THROUGH WEDNESDAY BRINGING SOME SHOWERS AND THUNDER. EXPECT WARM
AND MUGGY CONDITIONS BY THE END OF THE WORK WEEK.

LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
HIGHLIGHTS...

* IMPROVEMENTS ON MONDAY WITH MODERATING TEMPS THROUGH THE MID WEEK.
* WARM FRONT MID-WEEK WILL BRING AROUND OF SHOWERS AND THUNDER.
* MUGGY AND WELL ABOVE AVG CONDITIONS RETURN BY THURS.

5/24 - 4:54 PM: Some flooding in Vermont yesterday. We have a broken line of showers ahead of a cold front that is sweeping into the region tonight. More showers will develop and colder air is poised to arrive. It has already dropped into the mid 50s here in PB. This colder air will diminish the chance of thunderstorm activity. Showers and heavier rain in Central New England on Saturday. It will be a cold rain with highs only in the mid and upper 40s here in S NH. Some flooding is likely. Colder still Saturday night with lows in the mid and upper 30...more like April than almost June. Showers continue into Sunday morning and this far out it looks like Sunday afternoon may turn mostly dry. We'll see. A sunny Memorial day is on tap with warmer temps and lots of drying. Spring weather returns next week.
SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE SLOWLY ACROSS NEW ENGLAND TODAY WITH MUCH
COOLER AIR BEHIND THE FRONT. LOW PRESSURE WILL DEVELOP ON THIS
FRONT...CAUSING SCATTERED SHOWERS TO LINGER ACROSS THE REGION
THROUGH THIS WEEKEND. CONDITIONS WILL IMPROVE MONDAY. DRY WEATHER
AND SEASONABLE TEMPS ARE EXPECTED INTO THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.

LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
HIGHLIGHTS...

* UPPER LEVEL SYSTEM WILL KEEP SHOWERS AND COOLER TEMPS FOR THE
WEEKEND.
* IMPROVEMENTS BEGIN ON MONDAY WITH MODERATING TEMPS THROUGH THE MID
WEEK.
* WARM FRONT BY END OF THE WEEK WILL PUSH TEMPS WELL ABOVE AVERAGE.

5/24 - 6:52 AM: A break in the shower activity this morning. All of the rain overnight has prompted flash flood watches in various areas around the region this morning. Unfortunately, the forecast remains on track. A cold front will be pushing into the region today, dropping temps and bringing more showers and storms. This front will spawn another low pressure system just offshore and cause the whole system to stall. That means showers and storms into Sunday with breezy and cold conditions. Overall, a lousy Saturday and Sunday with a better forecast for Monday. There is some indication Sunday afternoon may be drier but we are too far out to be sure. See the current monthly rainfall totals.
SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE SLOWLY INTO NEW ENGLAND TODAY. A LOW
PRESSURE WILL DEVELOP ON THIS FRONT...CAUSING THE ENTIRE SYSTEM
TO LINGER ACROSS THE REGION THROUGH THIS WEEKEND. THIS WILL BRING
SHOWERS AND COOLER CONDITIONS...WITH A FEW THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE.
SOME OF THE RAINFALL WILL BE HEAVY AT TIMES. CONDITIONS SHOULD
IMPROVE MONDAY. DRY WEATHER AND SEASONABLE TEMPS ARE EXPECTED INTO
THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.

LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
HIGHLIGHTS...

* UPPER LEVEL SYSTEM WILL KEEP SHOWERS AND COOLER TEMPS FOR THE
WEEKEND.
* IMPROVEMENTS BEGIN ON MONDAY WITH MODERATING TEMPS THROUGH THE MID
WEEK.
* WARM FRONT BY END OF THE WEEK WILL PUSH TEMPS WELL ABOVE AVERAGE.
