It was a raw and chilly day here in Peterborough, NH with off and on rain showers. These will end tonight.
High pressure sinks south into the Bay of Fundy tonight as upstream low pressure passes NEward through Toledo, continuing onshore flow for New England. This is a battle of the airmasses... with a very dry airmass associated with the high gradually yielding to a humid column pushing in from the southwest by the approaching low, resulting in light showers or sprinkles before forcing is lost late this evening. Meanwhile at the surface, easterly to southeasterly flow off the waters reinforces increasing humidity especially when mixing is lost later today.
In terms of sensible weather, there will be a noticeable uptick in humidity and clouds which will allow for more uniform overnight temperatures across the region. Have lows generally in the mid-30s as a result. Showers/sprinkles meanwhile will diminish over New Hampshire. Low stratus may form over the interior into the foothills, though this appears to be more of an outlier solution at this time.
Southerly flow increases Friday as low pressure tracks across the Ottawa Valley, dragging a cold front toward New England. As a result more of the forecast area will be under a marine influence, with temperatures topping out in the 50s area-wide...mid-50s for most... and limited to the 40s along the coast. The daytime is forecast to be dry with a mix of sun and clouds. Will have to keep an eye on any stratus formation over the interior early in the day, but as mentioned above that seems like an outlier at this point.
Clouds increase from the west by the evening as scattered light rain showers enter from the west. I`m not expecting everybody to necessarily pick up light rain with this, however as the front approaches the coast late Fri night / early Sat morning steadier rains are forecast to develop with a subtle amplification of the surface low. But, total amounts still look to be around a tenth of an inch or less. The continued marine influence, along with clouds and humidity from the frontal system, bring our mildest overnight yet with lows in the 40s... probably right around the Sea surface temperatures along the coast.
Long range:
Overview:
The pattern shows a broad trough over the region through the weekend into early next week, however dry air looks to dominate overhead at the same time so not much in the way of precipitation is expected. A more amplified trough looks to coincide with a cold front midweek, which could be our next chance of widespread rain.

SYNOPSIS...
A weak disturbance brings light rain across New Hampshire into far western Maine through this evening. Temperatures will trend cooler as an onshore component to surface flow builds, culminating in the passage of a frontal system with light rain late Friday into Saturday morning. Quiet, mild, and dry weather returns late Saturday through early next week. Low pressure approaches the region toward mid-week, potentially bringing the next chance for widespread rain.
SYNOPSIS...
Cool with a few showers into the evening. A more seasonable day on Friday, along with dry conditions during the daytime hours. A cold front brings another round of showers overnight into early Saturday morning. Dry for the rest of Saturday and all day Sunday with breezy conditions both days. The dry stretch of weather continues as we head into early next week, with the next chance for unsettled weather being Wednesday.
