...ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS FOR SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND TUESDAY...

Minimum relative humidity values are expected to range between 40 to 60 percent with increasing southerly winds gusting 10-15 knots. Although there could be some light showers around Tuesday, they are unlikely to bring significant rain accumulations to the region.

Temperatures dropped below freezing last night here in Peterborough, NH, but started to rise as the clouds moved in. It will be a cloudy day with showers later tonight. Mild to warm weather is expected through the end of the week.
We have become abnormally dry, and this is reflected in the Drought Report This report is updated every Thursday..
On this day in 1998, John Glenn returned to space aboard the Space Shuttle Discovery at age 77, becoming the oldest person to fly in space.
630 AM Update... The mid-level cloud deck is continuing to expand across the area, which is helping temperatures to level off and in some cases slowly rise. Latest model guidance indicates this increase in clouds will persist through the remainder of the day. Given the cold temperatures this morning and this expanding cloud cover, lowered forecast highs by a couple degrees in most places.
Previously... Nighttime microphysics satellite imagery early on this Tuesday morning shows that other than some thin cirrus, much of western ME is still mainly clear. In NH, more in the way of cloud cover is being observed, especially over southwestern portions of the state. Where skies are mainly clear, strong radiational cooling has sent temperatures down into the middle teens to lower 20s and additional cooling can be expected in places that maintain these clear skies through daybreak. Where the clouds have been more prevalent in NH, readings are still into the upper 20s to lower 30s and based on satellite trends these temperatures likely won`t drop too much more. It will remain a cold but dry morning across the forecast area.
Surface high pressure will exit over the Gulf of Maine today ahead of a warm front to our west. The return flow from the high will allow increasing dew points from south to north through the day with moisture also increasing aloft, resulting in increasing cloud cover. High temperatures will on average be about 5 degrees or so warmer than yesterday with readings ranging from the middle 40s across the north to middle 50s south. Forcing for ascent does not look to increase until tonight and therefore other than perhaps an isolated shower towards the CT River Valley this evening, it will be another dry day.
The warm front will cross the region tonight, bringing a period of light rainfall to the region. A brief period of snow or freezing rain will be possible across the higher elevations but overall this will be a rain event areawide. The forecast calls for between two to four tenths of an inch with locally higher amounts of around a half to three-quarters of an inch possible across the mountains. It will be a significantly warmer night with lows ranging from the middle 30s across the north to middle 40s south. Patchy fog will also be possible.
Latest forecast guidance suggests that the warm front could stall or at least slow down once it approaches the Penobscot River Valley on Wednesday. While rain will quickly come to and end from west to east during the morning hours, cloud cover could linger over much of ME through the day while western NH sees mainly sunny conditions. As a result, a wide range in high temperatures is possible with much of western ME topping out into the 50s while interior NH reaches the upper 60s to lower 70s. The onshore flow with SSTs into the 50s will also keep eastern and coastal locations on the cool side.
Long Range Forecast:
A well mixed layer will keep readings mild Wednesday night. Min temperatures will only fall to the upper 40s to lower 50s overnight.
Latest guidance remains in good agreement that an increasing southwesterly gradient will continue to allow very warm air over the region on Thursday. Temperatures near +55F with sunshine and good mixing will allow temperatures to climb well into the 70s in many areas during the afternoon. A few communities across southern New Hampshire may top out at 80 degrees. These temperatures will be approaching record high temperatures for the date. The record high in Portland is 80 degrees set back in
1946. Nighttime lows Thursday night may break records as well.
The 7AM models and ensemble solutions suggest the showers associated with an approaching cold front will hold off until late Thursday evening into Friday morning. In any case, the precipitation will be relatively light.
Any significant cold air advection on Friday will be delayed. Therefore, temperatures will be well above normal once again. Seasonably cool and dry weather returns for the weekend.

After a colder night in New Hampshire, warmer air starts to build back in soon. A round of wet weather is possible late tonight ahead of near-record high temperatures for Wednesday and Thursday.
A cool feel today with increasing clouds. Highs will range from the mid 40s to mid 50s from north to south with a light breeze.
A warm front will lift through tonight, bringing a round of showers. While beneficial, the rain won't be nearly enough to bust the ongoing drought in southern parts of the state.
By Wednesday, sunshine returns with temperatures approaching 70 degrees. Turning even warmer on Halloween with highs in the mid to upper 70s for some.
Showers return later Thursday night (after trick-or-treating) into Friday AM, then dry and cooler 50s into the weekend.
