Rich's Local Weather Discussion:
4/02 - 5:07 PM: It has been raining for much of the day east of the Monadnocks. Ocean storm systems slowly backing in from east will continue to spread rain and wind across the region tonight. This vertically stacked system will continue to meander back to the west early tonight before gradually sinking further south late tonight. Impulses pivoting around the upper low will generate periods of rain overnight...along with some wet snow or sleet across the higher terrain of far northern New Hampshire and the western Maine mountains where some light accumulations will be possible. It`ll be a breezy night with northerly winds gusting up to 25 mph over the interior and over 30 mph along the coast. Temperatures will only drop back a few degrees tonight given cloud cover and winds. Coastal Flood Warnings are now in effect. Also, wind advisories in MA. The low will meander further south then southeast on Friday with drier air beginning to work in from the north. Shower activity will become more scattered from north to south as the day progresses. It`ll be another mostly cloudy and raw day with northerly winds gusting between 25 and 35 mph along the coast and over our Maine zones...and gusting between 15 and 25 mph over New Hampshire. Highs should be mainly in the 40s. Friday night winds will gradually diminish as the low continues to retreat further offshore and drier air continues to filter in from the north. It`ll be a mostly cloudy night with any lingering showers over southern New Hampshire and southwest Maine ending overnight. Lows will range from near 30 across the mountains with mid and upper 30s elsewhere. Better weather ahead and you can hear all about that in the every Thursday Evening Weekend Outlook E-mail blast. Coming out tonight before 7PM . Sign up below and join over 200+ others. Stay tuned.

SYNOPSIS... NH/ME
A strengthening storm over the Atlantic will meander
over the Gulf of Maine through tonight, slinging moisture into our
area with periods of rain over most of New England with cool and
damp conditions. Rain gradually tapers down Friday with high
pressure building in from the west bringing a dry weekend.
SYNOPSIS...MA
A large and intense ocean storm moves west toward Southern New
England tonight, then pinwheels toward the south on Friday.
This storm will bring strong to possibly damaging winds and
coastal flooding to east coastal Massachusetts, especially Cape
Cod and the Islands. In addition, periods of rain will fall
heavily at times across the area through Friday night. A slow
moving, weak front will bring scattered showers Sunday through
Sunday night. Unsettled conditions will linger at times into mid
week.
LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
* Becoming drier through the day on Saturday but shower chances
linger, especially over eastern MA
* A weak disturbance and approaching cold front may bring scattered
showers Sunday into Sunday night
* Dry, warmer than average conditions briefly return Monday, cooling
through mid week
* Generally dry through mid week but a few weak systems may bring
scattered showers at times

4/02 - 6:51 AM: Rain was falling from Boston to Manchester, to Portsmouth, to Portland this morning and will continue to move west. A strong ocean storm is backing into the region today from the east. This strengthening storm just outside the Gulf of Maine drives sensible weather conditions today; in short, expect a cool, humid, and rainy Thursday. The low, positioned roughly south of Halifax and east of Cape Cod, will continue to pump in a deeply moist, maritime air mass as an inverted trough forces rounds of rain on shore, focusing this afternoon through the evening. Rainfall steadily increases to around 1" along the coast by the afternoon with increasing precipitation intensity heading into the evening as the system retrogrades back toward our area. By tonight, the oceanic low loops back around to the east and begins to pull away to the east. This, combined with dry air intrusion aloft from the north, lends to an overall weakening trend in precipitation with a gradual N to S drying trend through the day. Better mixing is realized behind the departing wave, so am expecting somewhat stronger winds tonight into tomorrow. The bulk of the rain falls tonight with more showery weather on Friday. The winds will pick up, especially along the coast where a coastal flood and wind advisory is posted. Better weather ahead and you can hear all about that in the every Thursday Evening Weekend Outlook E-mail blast. Coming out tonight before 7PM . Sign up below and join over 200+ others. Stay tuned.

Manchester NH -
A damp breezy, and cool stretch is taking over for the next two days, but there is improvement right behind it for the weekend.
Today will be breezy and chilly with any early mixing (or wet snow) giving way to rain of varying intensities. Temps will struggle into the upper 30s to mid 40s and there will be a northerly breeze at 10-20+ mph into this evening.
The rain continues tonight and into Friday, especially in the morning and early afternoon. Partial clearing is likely late, mostly in northern NH. Highs will be in the 40s with that noticeable breeze continuing.
Clouds to partial sun on Saturday and a bit more sun likely on Sunday as temps climb a bit… we’ll be in the 40s to lower 50s Saturday and into the 50s on Sunday.
These "discussions" are from the NWS, or WMUR Manchester NH, or me.

Anrik's 3G program. what is it you ask, well here it is.
1. Go Green- install rain sensors on systems, upgrade old sensors to new modern sensors, install systems instead of hoses, micro drip for plants. sprinkler upgrades.
2. Be Green- sacrificing on watering scheduling and run times, using rain sensors and delays will still keep the landscapes green.
3. Save Green- the average home wastes over 30,000 gallons of water a year by not having a rain sensor installed or repaired. These simple, and reliable sensors can be installed for under $200.00. Most water bill savings based on Cubic feet will surpass $250.00 annually. The sensors pay for themselves the first year.
Anrik's mission is to save the environment and our customers over 1 Million gallons of water this year.

I use Ralph and Expert Fitness to repair my treadmill. They offer great service and are very knowledgeable. I've been very pleased with all of the repairs Expert Fitness has done on my Treadmill. Considering how much exercise equipment costs, it is a far better deal to have it repaired rather than replaced.
I highly recommend them.
