We had bouts of sun and clouds all day.
Spring rolls in tomorrow night, making Wednesday our first full day of the spring season. Naturally, it will probably snow.
In the short range I do see a clipper system impacting the region mid week, then in the long range, I am watching a possible Nor Easter for next weekend. Stay tuned.
Visible satellite imagery this afternoon shows a plethora of diurnally driven and upslope clouds across the region with Northeast radar mosaic showing some weak returns, mainly over the mountains. Current temperatures range from the 30s across the north to the middle 40s in southern NH and southwestern ME. It will continue to be a partly cloudy afternoon with a few scattered flurries and sprinkles.
After some initial clearing this evening, clouds will be on the increase again overnight as a shortwave trough and associated cold front drop south over New England. Scattered snow showers will remain possible through the night but they will be mainly confined to the far north and mountains. Low temperatures will range from around 20 across the north to the lower 30s in southern NH and coastal southwestern ME. Locally colder readings will be possible wherever winds decouple and skies remain more clear.
The upper level pattern will become more zonal in nature on Tuesday as surface high pressure builds to our south and west. Similar to today, daytime heating will allow for the development of a cumulus field during the afternoon but moisture depth does not look very deep as afternoon mixing helps to dry out the lower and mid-levels. As a result, despite these clouds, any scattered flurries will be limited in scope and confined to the higher terrain... especially early in the day. Highs will range from the 30s across the north to the middle 40s south. It will remain a little breezy with west-northwest gusts up to around 25 mph, which will make it feel a little cooler.
Tuesday night will feature increasing clouds ahead of a weak system that will be approaching from the west. There will also be an increasing chance for scattered snow showers after midnight, especially over western NH. Lows will range from the upper teens to upper 20s from north to south.
Long range:
An Alberta Clipper will cross the region to start out the long term portion of the forecast. This will bring snow showers or a period of steady snow to northern portions of the forecast area Wednesday with temperature profiles supporting rain showers over southern sections. This system will likely lead to redevelopment along the Maine coastline Wednesday night. Cold air advection will develop on the back side of this system. This will change any leftover liquid precipitation back over to snow during the night. Some icy locations may develop with morning lows in the 20s in the north and near 30 degrees in the south by morning.
The low pressure system will continue to undergo intensification on Thursday as the surface low exits through the Canadian Maritimes. Winds will become aligned through an increasing layer in a full cold air advection mode. Model profiles suggest wind gusts up to 40 kt will be possible during the day with higher gusts over the mountains and hilltops. It will be chilly with highs only in the 20s north to the 30s south.
It will also be very dry with low surface dew points during this period. Have forecast on the lower spectrum of guidance in terms of the dry air advecting over the region in addition to the influence of downslope drying.
Windy and cold conditions will continue Thursday night. Have increased pops for the mountains where upslope snow showers will be continuing.
High pressure will build into New England from Canada on Friday with cold and dry air remaining over the region. This sets the stage with rain and snow possible over the weekend. Models continue to struggle with the timing and placement of an area of low pressure ejecting out of the southeastern United States. In any case, additional precipitation would be tacked on to our wettest start to the month of March in Portland.

SYNOPSIS...
Cyclonic flow this week promotes breezy west-northwest flow, temperatures trending cooler toward seasonal averages, and light snow and rain showers driven by instability. Showers will be mostly confined to the mountains, however, a quick-hitting clipper will likely bring more widespread showers all the way to the coast Wednesday into Thursday. Cool high pressure returns late in the week, with a low potential for another system this weekend.
SYNOPSIS...
Clear and cool tonight with blustery west winds. Gusty west winds again tomorrow with mainly dry conditions. Rain and snow shower chances overnight Wednesday as a moisture starved shortwave swings through. Anomolously dry conditions return Thursday and Friday before a potential precipitation maker this weekend; though the existence and the track of the low remains shrouded in uncertainty.
LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
* Light rain and snow showers Wednesday night associated with
shortwave digging into the region
* Dry Thursday and Friday
* Increasing chances for more substantial precipitation this
weekend, though uncertainty in track of low pressure remains high
Drying out for the start of the week as temperatures turn seasonable over the next several days.
Sun and clouds mixed today, along with some flurries and snow showers across northern New Hampshire. Afternoon highs will range from the 30s north to mid 40s south, along with a healthy northwest breeze making it feel colder.
Partly cloudy tonight with temperatures in the 20s to lower 30s.
A touch more sun for Tuesday, but also turning a touch cooler. Highs again in the 30s to lower 40s.
A weak weather system moves in by Wednesday morning. Look for some scattered showers (mixing with snow north) through midweek.
