Last complete site update: 9/25 - 7:10 AM

Skies were overcast once again this morning here in Peterborough, NH. Light rain was falling from Albany, to NYC to Boston. I expect some drizzle and sprinkles here in Southern NH this morning. After this precipitation, I don?Äôt see much weather well into the weekend.
High pressure will build in from the north today helping to push cloud cover and light rain to the south. Far southern NH will see chances for sprinkles through the morning while the bulk of any measurable rainfall will be south of the NH/MA border. Skies are currently mostly clear across the north with skies gradually clearing north to south through today. As high pressure builds in the gradient over the area will tighten leading to strengthening NE winds. These winds will be most pronounced along coastal southern Maine into SE New Hampshire where gusts could reach 30 mph. Elsewhere northeast gusts will range from 20 to 25 mph. Highs today will mainly be in the 60s.
As high pressure continues to build in tonight skies will be mostly clear. There will be enough of a gradient to keep winds elevated, although northern valleys could decouple leading to lows in the upper 30s. This will bring the chance for patchy frost across northern zones while confidence is not high enough in areal coverage to go with a Frost Advisory with this forecast package. South of the mountains lows will mainly be in the 40s.

High pressure will remain centered to the north through Tuesday with mostly sunny skies. The gradient will slacken leading to lighter winds while steady northeast winds will likely continue across the coastal plain into southern New Hampshire. Highs on Tuesday will be in the 60s.

Long range:
Dry conditions to persist through this upcoming week...

A ridge of high pressure will remain north of the forecast area during the beginning of the long term portion of the forecast. We start with a chilly Tuesday night with low temperatures in the upper 30s in the north. Patchy fog will form during the late night hours, especially across the interior valleys.

Mostly sunny and dry conditions will continue on Wednesday with afternoon high temperatures slightly above normal, in the upper 60s to lower 70s. This dry trend will continue through the end of the work week and into the weekend as high pressure remains nearly stationary over the region. Temperatures will trend slightly above normal for this time of the year with lower 70s late in the week.

Expect patchy fog to continue to form during the overnight hours. This will mainly be confined to the inland valley floors.

Regional Synopsis

SYNOPSIS...
High pressure remains largely in control over northern New England through much of this upcoming week. Some showers from the northern fringe of what is left of post tropical Ophelia may clip far southern areas at times through this morning. Breezy northeast winds are expected in southeastern New Hampshire today. The remnants of Ophelia exit into the Atlantic today with high pressure becoming centered over New England through the end of the work week. This will bring fair and dry conditions, with light winds.

SYNOPSIS...
Periods of rain will continue this morning with the focus shifting to south of the Massachusetts Turnpike, while dry weather develops north of the Mass Pike this afternoon. A few showers may linger into Tuesday morning along the immediate south coast, along with a cool, brisk feel. Building high pressure over Quebec will provide dry conditions with mild days and cool nights Wednesday and Thursday, then there is uncertainty how long the dry weather will persist, with a chance of showers Friday into Saturday. Dry, mild weather likely to return Sunday.

LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Key Points:

* Very pleasant Wed & Thu, with dry and seasonable conditions

* Chance of showers Fri into Sat, but lots of uncertainty

* Dry weather expected Sunday and milder

Manchester, NH:  Last update:  9/25 - 7:25 AM

A classic fall weather week is ahead with a lot of sunshine, mild days and cool nights....however we'll still need some clouds (and light showers in southern NH) to clear today.

Clouds and a few spot showers in far southern New Hampshire this morning, but all of us see some sunny breaks in the afternoon. Highs will be int he 60s with a bit of a northeasterly breeze, gusting over 20 mph in the afternoon.

Partly cloudy skies tonight with some fog developing overnight. Lows will drop into the upper 30s in parts of the North Country and lower 50s near the coast (40s elsewhere.)

The rest of the workweek (and possible the weekend) looks dry and mostly sunny. While the days will be pleasant with highs in the 60s-70¬?, overnight lows will be chilly. Some patchy frost is possible both Wednesday and Thursday mornings, mainly up north.

A warming trend with that sunshine likely has temps above 70¬? next weekend.
