Upcoming Site Update Schedule Changes & General Messages:
Back to the usual schedule
Skies were partly cloudy here in Peterborough, NH this morning.
Current Temperatures: Keene: 44 degrees | Jaffrey: 44 degrees | Nashua: 43 degrees | Boston: 48 degrees. Southern New Hampshire is starting the day cool, with a mix of clouds and sunshine. Temperatures should gradually climb through the morning, reaching the lower to middle 50s this afternoon. A west breeze will occasionally make it feel cooler, but overall conditions will be fairly pleasant for November.
Mount Washington is experiencing much harsher conditions. Winds are gusting to 66 mph. The latest reported wind chill is 0 degrees.
Precipitation Outlook: Dry weather is expected today and Wednesday. Clouds will increase Thursday, with rain developing during the afternoon and continuing into Friday. Friday could bring periods of steady rain, with some rain and snow mixing in Friday night as temperatures fall. Additional periods of rain and snow are possible Saturday, followed by scattered showers Sunday. Conditions should gradually improve Monday, with a return to drier weather. Temperatures will also trend colder heading into the weekend.
From The Weather Channel:
Autumn, we hardly knew ye. That may sound a little overdramatic, but according to our meteorologists, fall is about to get a reality check.
Basically, a deep dip in the jet stream will send temperatures tumbling across the East late this week, with highs dropping about 20 degrees from Wednesday to Friday between Chicago and Atlanta.
By the weekend, lows will fall into the 30s as far south as the Florida Panhandle, bringing the first frosts and freezes of the season to millions. What comes with that cold is less certain. A low-pressure system will strengthen over the Ohio Valley Wednesday night, and a second low could form off the East Coast by Thursday night, setting up a potential nor'easter.
Rain could mix with or change to wet snow in the interior Northeast. After that, the models differ on how close the low hugs the coast, which affects wind, flooding and snow.

Weather Summaries and Full Area Forecast Discussions - North (Edited)
Summary - Northern New England - New Hampshire and Maine
Summary:
New England will continue to experience an active weather pattern over the next several days, with periodic chances for precipitation. A coastal storm could develop late this week, potentially bringing rain, snow, and gusty winds to parts of Maine and New Hampshire. However, forecast models continue to favor a track offshore, which would limit the storm impacts across the region. There is still some uncertainty, so the storm bears watching as the week progresses. Colder air is expected to arrive behind the system, bringing below-normal temperatures this weekend and into early next week.
Key Messages:
1. The weather pattern remains active, with continued chances for precipitation. A coastal storm late this week remains possible, bringing rain and/or snow, although confidence in its track and impacts remains low.
2. Temperatures will turn colder this weekend and into early next week, with readings expected to average below normal.
What has changed since the last Forecast Update?
No major changes were needed for this forecast package.
What this means for you:
Expect occasional showers and unsettled conditions through the middle of the week. A late-week coastal storm is something to keep an eye on, particularly across coastal Maine and southern New Hampshire, but the chances of significant impacts are currently decreasing. By the weekend, temperatures will turn noticeably colder, with gusty north to northeast winds possible along the coast. Plan on a colder-than-normal start to next week.

What Has Changed
No major changes were needed for this forecast package. The aviation forecast was updated to reflect trends in current weather observations.
Key Messages
1\. The weather pattern remains active, with continued chances for precipitation. A coastal storm late this week remains possible, bringing rain and/or snow, although confidence in its track and impacts remains low.
2\. Temperatures will turn colder this weekend and into early next week, with readings expected to average below normal.
Discussion
Key Message 1: Continued Precipitation Chances and Potential Coastal Storm
Cold air moving into the region, along with clouds and scattered showers developing over higher terrain, will continue tonight into early Tuesday. This activity should gradually diminish as a disturbance in the upper atmosphere, known as a shortwave trough, approaches from north of the Great Lakes. Most of the precipitation associated with an approaching warm front is expected to remain north of the forecast area. Showers are more likely along the cold front and afterward, particularly in areas where winds push moist air up against the mountains.
A stronger storm system is expected to move across the Great Lakes on Thursday, while a surface low-pressure system develops near the Ohio Valley. This low is forecast to move offshore of the Mid-Atlantic Thursday night into Friday morning. It may then track northeast toward Cape Cod later Friday and Friday night before moving toward the Canadian Maritimes on Saturday.
Forecast models continue to show considerable disagreement about the eventual track of this storm and how much of an impact it could have on our region.
The latest forecast model cluster analysis continues to favor a track offshore, with most members of the European Ensemble Prediction System (EPS) and artificial intelligence-based guidance keeping the storm well southeast of Cape Cod. However, some forecast models show a farther westward track that could bring more direct impacts to Maine and New Hampshire.
The latest European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts Extreme Forecast Index (EFI) for snow shows a shift toward a few higher-end snowfall possibilities across portions of Maine and New Hampshire. However, there is no significant EFI shading, indicating that only a small number of forecast model members are suggesting snow, while most are not.
Current ensemble and artificial intelligence-based forecasts generally place the probability of at least 0.50 inches of precipitation at 30 percent or less, with the highest chances south of the mountains.
The main takeaway is that this storm is still worth monitoring over the next few days, but the likelihood of significant impacts from heavier rain, snow, and strong winds is decreasing. Given the remaining uncertainty, forecasters are using the National Blend of Models (NBM), which combines multiple forecast models, as a reasonable middle-ground approach.
Key Message 2: Colder Temperatures Arrive This Weekend
Behind the coastal storm, strong northerly winds will bring colder air into the region this weekend and into early next week. Initially, north to northeast wind gusts along the coast could reach 30 to 35 mph, depending on the eventual track of the storm.
Temperatures will fall back to near or below normal levels, marking a noticeably colder pattern compared to earlier in the week.
Forecasters may need to make some adjustments to overnight temperature forecasts. Current National Blend of Models guidance is accounting for increased cooling under clear skies, but the actual weather pattern may include enough mixing in the lower atmosphere to limit how much temperatures fall overnight. This could result in some differences between forecast and actual overnight lows.
Weather Summaries and Full Area Forecast Discussions - South (Edited)
Summary - Southern New England - Massachusetts/Northern CT/Rhode Island
Summary:
Dry and seasonable weather will continue across southern New England through Wednesday, with plenty of sunshine and afternoon temperatures reaching the middle to upper 50s. Overnight temperatures will generally fall into the 30s and lower 40s. Attention then turns to a developing storm system that could affect the region Friday into Friday night. There is still considerable uncertainty regarding the storm track and timing, but some snow could mix in across higher elevations, particularly in the Berkshires. At this time, significant winter weather impacts appear unlikely.
Key Messages:
- Dry and seasonable weather continues through midweek with a good amount of sunshine. Temperatures range from the 30s to lower 40s overnight, reaching the upper 50s during the afternoons.
- Monitoring another storm Friday, although there remains considerable uncertainty regarding its exact timing and track.
What has changed since the last Forecast Update?
No significant changes to the forecast.
What this means for you
Enjoy a couple of pleasant November days, with sunshine and temperatures running comfortably mild for the season. By Thursday, keep an eye on the developing forecast as a storm system approaches. Friday could bring rain and possibly some wet snow across higher elevations, although the exact track will determine how much of the region is affected. Any accumulating snow currently appears most likely in the higher terrain, with little indication of significant travel disruptions.

Key Messages
\- Dry and seasonable weather continues through midweek with a good amount of sunshine. Temperatures range from the 30s to lower 40s overnight, reaching the upper 50s during the afternoons.
\- Monitoring another storm Friday, although there remains considerable uncertainty regarding its exact timing and track.
Discussion
Key Message 1: Dry and Seasonable Weather Continues Through Midweek
Dry weather and generally comfortable temperatures will continue through Wednesday as westerly winds bring relatively mild air into southern New England. The overall weather pattern features a low-pressure system over eastern Canada and high pressure over the southeastern United States. This arrangement will help maintain mostly dry conditions across the region.
Some lingering moisture and clouds moving through the atmosphere will result in increased cloud cover early this morning. However, skies should gradually clear during the afternoon, allowing for plenty of sunshine. Wednesday will follow a similar pattern, although clouds will begin increasing later in the day as additional moisture moves into the region.
Temperatures will remain fairly consistent, with afternoon highs reaching the middle to upper 50s both Tuesday and Wednesday. Overnight lows will generally range from the 30s into the lower 40s.
Key Message 2: Monitoring Another Storm Friday, Although Timing and Track Remain Uncertain
Forecast models continue to show considerable uncertainty regarding the development and movement of a potential storm system heading into Friday and the weekend. The biggest question remains where the storm will track, with current computer models showing possible paths ranging from Maryland northward to Nova Scotia.
Some of the European and Canadian forecast models have shifted toward a track near or slightly south of the 40 degrees north, 70 degrees west benchmark, while the American GFS model continues to favor a track closer to the southern New England coastline. This difference is important because the eventual storm track will determine how much precipitation reaches the region and whether enough cold air will be available for snow.
Despite the uncertainty, most forecast guidance suggests the storm could strengthen considerably, with its central pressure dropping into the middle 990 millibar range by early Friday morning. Colder air is also expected to move into southern New England Friday, with temperatures about 5,000 feet above the ground falling below freezing by Friday evening. This could allow some snow to mix with the precipitation, particularly across higher elevations.
Current probabilities indicate a 30 to 50 percent chance of at least 1 inch of snow across the higher terrain, with the greatest potential along the eastern slopes of the Berkshires. The chance of receiving 3 inches or more remains below 20 percent.
These snowfall estimates are based on a standard 10-to-1 snow-to-liquid ratio, meaning 10 inches of snow for every 1 inch of liquid precipitation. However, unless precipitation becomes particularly heavy, actual snowfall amounts could be lower because temperatures and snow conditions would favor wetter, heavier snow rather than the lighter, fluffier variety.
At this time, any winter weather impacts across the higher elevations are expected to be very limited, if any. Current forecast probabilities also indicate a low likelihood of minor winter storm impacts.
Looking Ahead
During the second half of the weekend, the storm system is expected to move farther into Atlantic Canada while high pressure begins building across the Mid-Atlantic region. This will bring a return to breezy, blustery, and generally dry weather across southern New England as we head into the beginning of next week.
