Rich's Local Weather Discussion: Live Radar is ACTIVE
1/27 - 5:15 PM: Storm system is pulling away into the Gulf of Maine tonight. Any showers should end by evening. Temps are forecast to drop below freezing so any standing water or slush will freeze up tonight. Expect the winds to increase overnight as well. Weak high pressure builds in for Saturday keeping up dry and mostly sunny with highs in the low 40s. Two system zip by to our north this weekend. The 2nd may bring some snow/rain showers to the region later Sunday night. Right now it doesn't look like a big deal. The weather gets interesting later next week. See the February 2012 Almanac.
SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE INTO THE GULF OF MAINE THIS
EVENING...ALLOWING PRECIPITATION TO COME TO AN END. A WEAK HIGH
PRESSURE SHOULD BRING SEASONABLE WEATHER SATURDAY. TWO AREAS OF
LOW PRESSURE PASS NORTH OF SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND...ONE SATURDAY
NIGHT AND THE OTHER SUNDAY NIGHT. THE SUNDAY NIGHT LOW PRESSURE
WILL BE MORE SUBSTANTIAL AND BRING A CHANCE OF RAIN AND SNOW
SHOWERS TO OUR AREA. AFTER A COOL START TO THE WEEK...MILDER
WEATHER RETURNS FOR MID WEEK. A COASTAL STORM MAY AFFECT THE
REGION BY FRIDAY.
1/27 - 12:43 PM: Advisories end, rain continues. Still icy here in PB as temps remain at the 32° level.
1/27 - 6:47 AM: Ice storms are always one of the hardest storms to call. WMUR is reporting over 200 school closures this morning but many of those are just to our north. Though I did notice Merrimack and Wilton on the list. We are at 32° here in PB at this hour. I expect that temps will slowly continue to rise and all rain will fall but right now the roads are quite slippery in S NH so please be careful. The rain tapers off by this evening, a windy night ahead with temps dropping into the mid 20s. Partly sunny on Saturday with highs around 40°. Sunday looks OK as well, but colder.
SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE WILL PUSH ACROSS THE REGION TODAY BRINGING RAIN
ACROSS THE COASTAL REGIONS...AND MIXED PRECIPITATION TO THE
INTERIOR. A WEAK HIGH PRESSURE SHOULD BRING SEASONABLE WEATHER
SATURDAY. TWO AREAS OF LOW PRESSURE PASS NORTH OF SOUTHERN NEW
ENGLAND...ONE SATURDAY NIGHT AND THE OTHER SUNDAY NIGHT. THE
SUNDAY NIGHT LOW PRESSURE WILL BE MORE SUBSTANTIAL AND BRING A
CHANCE OF RAIN AND SNOW SHOWERS TO OUR AREA. DRY AND UNSEASONABLY
WARMER WEATHER RETURNS DURING NEXT WEEK.
Advisory Area:
1/26 - 5:27 PM: Snow was reported in Albany NY as low pressure moves in from the west tonight. Areas south of the MA Pike should see mostly a rain event while areas north of that will see a mix to freezing rain. By morning milder air will move north and change all of the freezing precip to just rain, however, that may be after 1/4" to 1/3" layer of ice falls. The worst icing is still forecasted for Southern NH. See the updated advisories for Southern NH and interior NW MA. I may update these later if the NWS does so check back. Still looks like a tough Friday morning commute across the region with power outages expected.
SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE WILL PUSH ACROSS THE REGION TONIGHT INTO TOMORROW
BRING RAIN ACROSS THE COASTAL REGIONS...AND MIXED PRECIP TO THE
INTERIOR. WEAK HIGH PRESSURE SHOULD BRING COOL BUT SEASONABLE
WEATHER DURING SATURDAY. TWO AREAS OF LOW PRESSURE PASS NORTH OF
SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY NIGHT. THE SUNDAY
NIGHT LOW PRESSURE WILL BE MORE SUBSTANTIAL AND BRING A CHANCE OF
RAIN AND SNOW SHOWERS TO OUR AREA. DRY AND SEASONABLY MILD WEATHER
RETURNS DURING NEXT WEEK.
From the NWS:
GIVEN TEMPS ICE ACCUMULATIONS OF A QUARTER TO EVEN A THIRD
OF AN INCH ARE POSSIBLE...WITH THE HIGHEST AMOUNTS IN SRN
NH...WHICH WILL REMAIN NEAR FREEZING FOR THE LONGEST PERIOD OF
TIME. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT EXACT TIMING OF TRANSITION IS
SOMEWHAT UNCERTAIN AS IT WILL DEPEND STRONGLY ON THE QUICKNESS OF
THE WARM AIR AND THE ROBUSTNESS OF THE INITIAL COOLING/SNOWFALL.
LATEST GUIDANCE 2M TEMPS ARE ALSO A BIT WARMER THAN PREVIOUS
FORECAST. PLEASE STAY TUNED TO WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY UPDATES AS
THEY COME OUT.
Advisory Area:
Regional Weather Discussion ...
TONIGHT...ANY REMAINING SHOWERS WILL PUSH OFFSHORE DURING THE EARLY
EVENING...WITH DECREASING CLOUDS AFTER MIDNIGHT. OVERNIGHT LOWS
SETTLE BACK TO THE LOWER 30S ALONG THE COAST...AND THE MID 20S
INLAND.
ON SATURDAY...HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS OVER THE FORECAST AREA AND THEN
MOVES OFF TO THE EAST DURING THE AFTERNOON. LOW PRESSURE MOVING
ACROSS CANADA SWINGS A FRONT THROUGH OUR REGION SATURDAY EVENING.
THERE IS LIMITED MOISTURE WITH THIS SYSTEM SO NO PRECIPITATION FOR
SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND IS FORECAST. HOWEVER...EXPECT INCREASING CLOUDS
DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING AS THIS SYSTEM APPROACHES...THEN
CLEARING SATURDAY NIGHT.
ANOTHER WEAK DISTURBANCE APPROACHES ON SUNDAY. HOWEVER THIS ONE IS
PROJECTED TO HAVE MORE MOISTURE AND A MORE SOUTHERLY TRACK. EXPECT A

LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE INTO THE GULF OF MAINE THIS EVENING...
ALLOWING PRECIPITATION TO COME TO AN END. WEAK HIGH PRESSURE SHOULD

SUNDAY NIGHT. THE SUNDAY NIGHT LOW PRESSURE WILL BE MORE SUBSTANTIAL
AND BRING A CHANCE OF RAIN AND SNOW SHOWERS TO OUR AREA. DRY AND
