Lows across northern New England this morning were in the teens and twenties.
Temperatures only dropped to 32 °F here in western Maine. It was significantly colder in the lower areas that experienced decoupling. My location, being on a somewhat exposed ridge, had persistent winds throughout the night, which prevented the temperatures from plummeting, particularly as the dew points were in the teens. However, the cold is i…Read More
Another take on the upcoming ENSO transition. I’m not ready to buy the hot summer forecast for northern and New England yet. We haven’t had a scorching summer in quite a few years. It seems the summers have been pleasant at the same time winters have been mild and open. I’m sure there’s some kind of cause and effect going on with that.
I’m very curious to see how this plays out. Afterall, this winter was supposed to be harsh in the east, but wasn’t even close. i read this and other articles on the upcoming hurricane season and see what they’re talking about but wonder if it will actually play out since the winter sure didn’t.
On the other hand, I read somewhere else that dust from the Sahara could blow across the Atlantic and cause problems for hurricanes this season, especially long-track systems, limiting the number and intensity of the Atlantic tropical systems.
Maine is high and dry once again. I think the picture says it all. Every system this week was either destroyed by a strong ridge over Maine and the Maritimes or shunted south. The forecast is still for a bit of rain tomorrow night but only two-bits worth or less. The overall pattern still favours below-normal precip for the region in the LR.
Sunny, dry and crisp today. The current is 49 °F (9.44 °C) after a low of 29 °F (-1.67 °C). Pretty low QPF outlook with only a bit of light rain later Friday and overnight. No big rain events in sight for much of northern New England.
Outside of a brief period of light rain late Friday into early Saturday, here in northern New England it’s looking high and dry with mostly mild days and seasonably cool nights for the next week to 10 days. Nothing wrong with that so long as it doesn’t turn into a long-range pattern and we end up in a drought. Lately it seems we go from feast to…Read More
The Euro and GFS models seem to have revised their predictions for northern New England, now suggesting a less cool and damp outlook. Instead, it looks like the region will experience mostly dry conditions, with occasional scattered showers at most, and generally mild temperatures for the remainder of the month, according to these models.
use the Ec aifs as it is the most reliable for the long range
I had a storm total of 2.04in of rain here in the Maine western foothills. No major flooding of rivers and streams. Most of the snow, outside the higher elevations above approximately 2500ft (ca. 762 m), has been wiped away by the storm.
Interesting article.
