Rich's Local Weather Discussion:

1/23 - 6:19 PM: Mostly cloudy tonight as a cold front sags south, so not as cold as the previous few nights with lows in the mid teens to low 20s. Partly sunny Friday with highs around 40°. Clouds return later in the day. Some spotty freezing drizzle possible in coastal sections. Saturday morning, an occluded area of low pressure will be centered across the Ohio River Valley and the southern Great Lakes. A triple point low is expected to develop near the Delmarva Peninsula and move northeastward across New England through the day on Sunday, and will slowly continue moving eastward into New Brunswick Early Monday. Models have continued to trend warmer over the last few runs. The other models suggest a different track. With a lack of cold air the most likely solution appears to be mostly rain across southern NH, along the coast, and across much of the coastal plain. The mountains and foothills look likely to start as mostly snow, gradually changing over to a wintry mix, then changing back to snow overnight Sunday. More details on that tonight in the every Thursday evening Weekend Outlook e-mail. Join the team and get on the list! Links below
Hazardous Weather Outlook: NH/ME

SYNOPSIS...NH/ME
A cold front will sink gradually south into the area tonight through
Friday accompanied by a few clouds. A broad area of low pressure
will cross the region this weekend with accumulating snow
possible over higher terrain, rain along the coast, and a mix
between over the foothills. The system exits early next week
with quiet weather to follow.

SYNOPSIS...MA
One area of high pressure moves offshore tonight. A second high
moves from Eastern Canada to the Maritimes for Friday. This will
bring dry weather through Friday night. A storm is expected to
impact the region Saturday into Saturday night with mostly rain
and gusty coastal winds, but some snow is possible over the
higher elevations in northern MA. Mainly dry and seasonable
conditions return Sunday lasting into the middle of next week.

LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...

Highlights...

* Coastal storm this weekend bringing a cold rain for much of
southern New England. Best opportunity for snow is across the
higher elevations of the interior where things begin as a wintry
mix before transitioning to rain/snow before becoming all rain.

* Scattered rain/snow showers linger across western MA on Sunday
into the early morning hours Monday.

* The dry and quiet weather returns for Monday through Wednesday.
Slightly cooler temperatures compared to the weekend.

1/23 -  6:41 AM:  A cold start this morning, but temps will rise well above freezing today into the low 40s. That will melt some of the snow pack which will refreeze tonight with some slippery spots. Quiet weather continues through Friday. A cold front will sag southward on Friday bringing clouds but little else. The weekend is looking wet as opposed to white. More details on that tonight in the every Thursday evening Weekend Outlook e-mail. Join the team and get on the list! Links below.
Previous discussion: By Friday morning, a ridge of high pressure centered over central Quebec will extend eastward across the Canadian Maritimes, and will continue to bring fair conditions to New England through early Saturday. This ridge will be anomalously warm for this time of the year, with origins from the Pacific Ocean, rather than northern Canada. This means that temperatures will be above normal into the weekend, and that there will not be a major source of cold air nearby or in place as a storm system approaches for late Saturday through Monday. The storm system is currently located over the Pacific northwest US. It is expected to emerge over the central Plains and strengthen until it becomes an occluded area of low pressure over the Ohio River valley by late Friday. The low will slowly move eastward and will likely cross through southern or central New England on Sunday. The storm is expected to move quite slowly, with the low pressure center not expected to depart the Gulf of Maine until Monday afternoon. With a slow track nearby, precipitation will likely linger right through the day on Monday, but it will not be continuous from late Saturday through Monday. Precipitation is likely to be more showery and periodic across central and southern zones by Sunday afternoon, with the mountains standing the best chance of experiencing more continuous precipitation with bands of snow rotating in on the backside of the low into Monday. Stay tuned....still lots of uncertainty.

SYNOPSIS...NH/ME
High pressure provides fair weather and above average
temperatures today. A cold front will sink gradually south into
the area late Thursday through Friday accompanied by a few
clouds. A coastal system passes this weekend with accumulating
snow possible over higher terrain, rain along the coast, and a
mix between over the foothills. The system exits early next week
with quiet weather to follow.
High confidence exists in: mostly rain along the coast/southern
NH and mostly snow over higher terrain including the Whites and
western Maine mountains; and a period of gusty winds in excess
of 30 mph along the immediate coast Sunday morning.

SYNOPSIS...MA
High pressure will remain in control through Friday with dry and
mild days and a cold night tonight. A storm is expected to
impact the region Saturday into Saturday night with mostly rain
and gusty coastal winds, but some snow is possible over the
higher elevations in northern MA. Mainly dry and seasonable
conditions return Sunday lasting into the middle of next week.

LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
Highlights...

* Dry weather Friday night with above normal temperatures.

* Coastal storm this weekend initially bringing a cold rain for much
of southern New England. Best opportunity for snowfall is across
the highest elevations of the interior where things begin as a
wintry mix before transitioning to rain.

* Scattered snow showers across the region late on Sunday into early
Monday, then dry through mid week.

* Slightly cooler temperatures after the weekend.

Regional Weather Discussion ...

Manchester NH -

This quiet stretch of weather has a few more days left in it as temps will continue to skew milder. Changes are likely this weekend as the next system slowly approaches.

Today will be that same mix of some sunshine blending with high clouds at times. With light winds after a seasonably chilly start, temps will rise into the mid and upper 30s to lower 40s, which will feel pretty good this afternoon.
Similar temps will fair skies for Friday as well.

Saturday will start off partly sunny before clouds eventually take over. A slow moving storm system will develop to our south and west, and will affect NH by late Saturday or Saturday evening into Sunday. At this point without a lot of really cold air being fed in out of Canada initially, it looks like rain or a mix in southern NH and a mix or snow farther north with the most precipitation falling Saturday evening into Sunday morning. The exact impact and dominant precipitation type region by region is still to be determined.

These "discussions" are from the NWS, or WMUR Manchester NH, or me.
