**Near Term /Today/**
Low pressure moving north-northeast through Quebec will push a cold front across the region today. Before the front arrives, warm air and moisture will move into the area, accompanied by increasing southerly winds. Abundant low-level moisture has created areas of fog, with locally dense fog along the coastal plain. As temperatures rise and southerly winds increase, visibility is expected to improve through the morning. A special weather statement remains in effect until 5 AM for locally dense fog along the coastal plain, and morning commuters should prepare for areas of reduced visibility.
As the cold front moves through, a band of moderate to heavy rain will spread across the region from west to east. This rain band will remain over most locations for about three to four hours, reducing the risk of significant flooding. Rainfall amounts will range from 0.5 to 1 inch along the coastal plain and north of the mountains, with amounts nearing 1 to 1.5 inches in the mountains. Rain will first reach western New Hampshire within the next couple of hours and will arrive in western Maine after sunrise. Rain will taper off from west to east late this morning into the afternoon. Southerly winds will strengthen around sunrise, with gusts up to 35 miles per hour along the Maine coast by late morning. Winds will shift to the southwest this afternoon, allowing high temperatures to reach the 50s south of the mountains, accompanied by drier conditions into the evening.
**Short Term /Tonight Through Tuesday/**
Steady southwest winds will persist through tonight, with minimal cold air moving into the area. This will result in low temperatures ranging from the low 30s in the north to the mid-30s in the south.
A brief ridge of high pressure will build on Tuesday, bringing fair weather and light winds. High temperatures will range from the upper 30s in the far north to the upper 40s in the south. By Tuesday afternoon, clouds will increase across New Hampshire as a low-pressure system approaches from the Ohio Valley.
**Long Term /Tuesday Night Through Sunday/**
Little has changed in the operational and ensemble forecasts for the long-term outlook. Rain will begin late Tuesday night and continue into Wednesday. Precipitation will mix with and change to snow in northern areas, with accumulating snow primarily in higher elevations. The amount of snow in the north will depend on the track of a secondary low-pressure system. Initially, warm air will dominate as the main low moves through the eastern Great Lakes.
Later in the week, colder and drier air will move in. This cooling trend will continue into the weekend. Persistent gusty winds will lead to wind chill values dropping below zero in northern areas. Precipitation will be limited to scattered upslope snow showers on northwest-facing higher terrain.
**Key Messages:**
- Turning colder after New Year's Day.
- A more active weather pattern with potential for wintry conditions.
**Impacts:**
- Mixed precipitation may occur as a storm moves into the area on New Year's Eve. The most likely area for freezing rain or sleet is the foothills.
- As colder air moves in on Thursday, gusts may reach 30 to 35 miles per hour, with a worst-case scenario of up to 45 miles per hour in parts of the area.
**Forecast Details:**
On New Year's Eve, a rapidly developing low-pressure system will approach New England. Although cold air advection (CAA) may not significantly turn precipitation into snow, lingering cold in areas where air is dammed against the mountains could lead to mixed precipitation before a warm-up. Some freezing rain may occur at the onset of precipitation before transitioning to rain or snow, depending on elevation.
Once the cold front moves through, CAA will intensify. Current forecasts indicate a well-mixed boundary layer with strong west-northwest winds at its top. Gusts of 40 to 45 knots (46 to 52 miles per hour) are possible on Thursday, though current guidance suggests gusts of 30 to 35 miles per hour as a reasonable forecast until timing becomes clearer.
Temperatures will continue to drop after Thursday as the pattern turns colder. The overall setup of troughs and ridges will favor wintry weather, but the timing and strength of each feature will determine whether storms track over or south of the area.
