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 NOT ACTIVE

2/07 - 6:33 AM: A weak cold front is crossing the region this morning. The front is dry but there will be cloud formation behind the system so expect the sky to cloud up later today. Seasonably clod today with windy conditions. Cold tonight with lows in the low to mid teens. A similar day on Wednesday as dry weather continues. Temps will rebound temporarily by Thursday and Friday before we enter the big chill as a Polar front moves south. This will bring some of the coldest air of the season to the region. Mentioned I might add in last Thursdays e-mail blast. See the January Weather Stats.
SYNOPSIS...
A DRY COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE REGION EARLY THIS
MORNING...FOLLOWED BY HIGH PRESSURE WITH SEASONABLY CHILLY WEATHER
TONIGHT AND WED. OTHER THAN PERHAPS A FEW LIGHT RAIN/SNOW SHOWERS
NEAR THE SOUTH COAST...CAPE COD AND THE ISLANDS LATE WEDNESDAY AND
WEDNESDAY NIGHT...DRY WEATHER WILL CONTINUE FOR THE REST OF THE WORK
WEEK. THERE IS A LOW PROBABILITY OF SOME SNOW SATURDAY INTO
SATURDAY NIGHT...FOLLOWED BY VERY COLD WEATHER EARLY NEXT WEEK.

2/06 - 5:40 PM: Clear and not very cold weather tonight with lows in the mid 20s. On Tuesday a dry cold front will cross the region. Mild temps to start but colder air will drop temps to mid teens Tuesday night. Dry weather continues on Wednesday and Thursday with highs seasonably cold in the 30s. Long range models are starting to show Polar Vortex moving towards New England by next weekend. This will bring some of the coldest air of the season to the region. Mentioned I might add in last Thursdays e-mail blast. See the January Weather Stats.
SYNOPSIS...
EXPECT A QUIET NIGHT ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND BEFORE A DRY
COLD FRONT SLIDES ACROSS ON TUESDAY. HIGH PRESSURE THEN BUILDS
FROM CANADA ON WEDNESDAY FOLLOWED BY AN WEAK WEATHER DISTURBANCE
FOR WEDNESDAY NIGHT WITH A RAIN AND SNOW MIX MAINLY FOR THE SOUTH
COAST OF NEW ENGLAND. DRY WEATHER WITH HIGH PRESSURE IS EXPECTED
FOR THURSDAY AND FRIDAY...WITH DISTURBED WEATHER MOVING BACK INTO
THE REGION FOR THE WEEKEND WITH THE EXPECTATION OF SNOW. COULD SEE
SOME OF THE COLDEST AIR OF THE SEASON FOR SUNDAY INTO MONDAY.
HIGHLIGHTS...
* WEAK WEATHER DISTURBANCE WITH A RAIN/SNOW MIX FOR WED NGT
* DRY WX FOR THURS AND FRI...DISTURBED WX BEGINNING SAT
* SOME OF THE COLDEST AIR OF THE SEASON EXPECTED SUN INTO MON

2/06 - 6:43 AM: Seesawing temps this week. Milder today (mid and upper 40s) as the high pressure that was over the region this past weekend moves offshore and the air flow shifts to the south. Windy today into the evening hours with lows only dropping to the mid 20s tonight. Cooler on Tuesday but still not especially cold for February with highs in the low to mid 40s. Colder on Wednesday under partly sunny skies with highs in the mid 30s. I think we'll remain dry this week. As the week goes on it looks a tad milder later in the week but I begin to see the Polar Vortex over central Canada shifting south and east. Something I spoke about last week. The long range charts suggest we'll be much colder by next weekend. See the January Weather Stats.
SYNOPSIS...
A WARM FRONT MOVES NORTHEAST OF NEW ENGLAND BRINGING A MILD WEST
TO SOUTHWEST WIND. A COLD FRONT WILL SLIDE ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW
ENGLAND ON TUESDAY. HIGH PRESSURE THEN BUILDS FROM CANADA ON
WEDNESDAY. LOW PRESSURE MOVING OUT OF THE SOUTHERN PLAINS MAY
BRING PRECIPITATION OUR WAY WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY.

Regional Weather Discussion ...
After a spring-like day yesterday, look for temps to cool down back to near the early February norm by midweek. The big story continues to be the quiet pattern that looks to remain through the week.
A band of clouds moving through New Hampshire early this morning is a cold front that will eventually drop highs about 10 degrees from yesterday as winds turn to the northwest 10-20 mph. Clouds will gradually give way to sunshine south of the White Mountains while the clouds (and a few flurries) will be a little more stubborn farther north.
With clearer skies and lighter winds later tonight temps will fall quickly. Lows will drop below zero up north and into the single digits most other places overnight.
More sunshine and seasonable temps can be expected on Wednesday with more quiet weather to follow for the end of the week with another warming trend expected.
