Stuff to make using the site easier ..

I use abbreviations for many things:
PB = Peterborough
Precip = Precipitation
SWS = Special Weather Statements
I will continue to add more to this list as I think of them.
I update the forecasts by 7AM and 7PM each day...more frequently if some weather thing is going on. On weekends by 9AM. The Polls page is located under the "Fun" tab in the main menu.

Make sure your browser is set to allow "pop-ups" from this site. I use them extensively and there is no danger of any viruses or anything like that.

I am based in Peterborough, NH, but the main forecasts (for now) are for Nashua, NH and the region. I send out an email every Thursday that covers the upcoming weekend forecast. I also send out advisories when issued by the NWS to this list. You will NEVER get SPAM or emails from anyone else. I don't share my mail list with anyone. If you'd like to be a part of that mailing, send your email address to: Mail List

 

How I started...

I've been a weather hobbyist all of my life. As a child, I used to stand outside in the rain during thunderstorms just to watch the lightning. Back in the '70s getting weather information was a chore. I remember listening to NWS broadcasts during hurricane season and plotting these on a piece of paper. After moving to New England I finally bought my first real weather station made by Davis Instruments. I began to record daily weather data in a journal. I had a few people, where I work, who knew I was a weather nut, ask me to send them an e-mail on the weekend forecast. So two grew to five then 15, then 40, and now my Thursday weekend mail list reaches over 200+ people. I took some web programming classes in the late '90s and a few years after that RichLefko.com was born. I wanted to share my hobby with anyone who was interested, and I am quite overwhelmed with how many people seem to be interested. I've gotten so many "thank you's" for a variety of reasons..."saved my party", "saved my wedding", "saved my life." It's been fun and rewarding all at the same time.
Thanks for visiting RichLefko.com. Please tell your friends and family.

The signs of drowning - Do you know them?

I am taking a break from the daily grind. I will be posting forecasts 5 days out for the next week.
There will be updates, just not on any schedule.
We'll resume the normal update schedule on August 1st.

Rich's Local Weather Discussion:

7/29 - 6:27 PM: Looks dry and mostly sunny through Saturday. Slight chance of a late shower on Sunday. Quiet pattern continues.
SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL SWEEP ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND EARLY THIS
EVENING WITH DRY...COOLER AND MUCH LESS HUMID CONDITIONS
OVERSPREADING THE REGION TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY. DRY WEATHER
LIKELY LINGERS INTO SUNDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE REMAINS JUST OFFSHORE.
THE FORECAST THEN BECOMES MORE UNCERTAIN EARLY NEXT WEEK AS LOW
PRESSURE MAY TRACK JUST SOUTH OF NEW ENGLAND.

7/29 - 10:15 AM: The front passed through the region this morning. Sunny, dry weather will follow today and into the weekend. Looks like a chilly Friday night and a warm sunny Saturday with low humidity.
SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL BRING SHOWERS AND SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS EARLY TODAY
BEFORE IT PUSHES OFFSHORE THIS EVENING. COOLER AND DRY WEATHER WILL
FOLLOW FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. LOW PRESSURE TO THE SOUTH AND AN UPPER
LEVEL DISTURBANCE COULD BRING A FEW SHOWERS SUNDAY. WARMER AND MORE
HUMID WEATHER WILL RETURN BY THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.

7/28 - 4:01PM: A cold front will be approaching from the west tonight. Expect a period of showers and perhaps some thunderstorms into Thursday morning. Clearing by Thursday afternoon with clear skies by evening A very day for Friday with warm temps and low humidity. It appears this weather will continue into Saturday. Slight chance of some showers on Sunday, but we are too far out to be sure.
SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL BRING SHOWERS AND A FEW THUNDERSTORMS LATE
TONIGHT AND THURSDAY...BEFORE IT PUSHES OFFSHORE THURSDAY
AFTERNOON. COOLER AND DRY WEATHER WILL FOLLOW INTO SATURDAY.
LOW PRESSURE WELL TO OUR SOUTH COULD BRING A ROUND OF SHOWERS
SUNDAY. EARLY NEXT WEEK LOOKS MAINLY DRY AND SEASONABLE.


Regional Weather Discussion ...

EXPECT IMPROVING CONDITIONS LATE AFTERNOON AND THIS EVENING FROM
WEST TO EAST AS A COLD FRONT CLEARS THE REGION. CLOUDS WILL VANISH
AND TODAY/S STICKY HUMIDITY WILL DROP TO COMFORTABLE LEVELS.

A FEW LINGERING CLOUDS AND A COUPLE OF SHOWERS MAY PERSIST THROUGH
MIDNIGHT ACROSS CAPE COD AND THE ISLANDS. OTHERWISE...EXPECT
CLEARING SKIES AND COOLER DRIER AIR TO WORK INTO THE REGION...AS
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES.

OVERNIGHT LOW TEMPERATURES WILL FALL BACK TO THE LOWER TO MID 50S
ACROSS SOUTHWEST NEW HAMPSHIRE AND THE BERKSHIRES...BUT MAINLY IN
THE 60S ELSEWHERE. TEMPERATURES MAY REMAIN A BIT MILDER ACROSS
THE CAPE AND ISLANDS DEPENDING UPON HOW QUICKLY SKIES CLEAR
OVERNIGHT.

FRIDAY IS FORECAST TO BE SUNNY WITH LOWER HUMIDITY. HIGHS WILL TOP
OUT IN THE 70S TO AROUND 80.

A COLD FRONT WILL BRING SHOWERS AND SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS TODAY
BEFORE IT PUSHES OFFSHORE THIS EVENING. COOLER AND DRY WEATHER WILL
FOLLOW FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE COULD BRING A
FEW SHOWERS SUNDAY. WARMER AND MORE HUMID WEATHER WILL RETURN BY THE
MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.

===============================
The thing to watch this time of year is the dew point reading. The dew point will tell you if it will be feeling muggy and humid. I think it is almost a better indicator of how hot the weather will feel, rather than the actual temperature. That is unless we go into the 90s. Dew points at 65° and below are comfortable. As the dew point climbs above 65° the air will feel more and more oppressive. (We are at 67° this morning) Dew points at 70° or above are simply horrible. Combine that with temps in the 90s and you get a heat advisory. You can always see the current dew point temperature here on the gauges page.
