Quiet, cold winter night ahead
The latest charts show the storm not arriving until later Saturday afternoon, and perhaps tracking a bit more quickly before heading out to sea.
Still expecting a greater than six inch snowfall(Some estimates are as high as twelve inches for the Monadnocks) with more sleet mixed in.
The storm exits Sunday night, with cold and dry weather to start the new work week.

On this day in 1946, scientists unveiled ENIAC, the world's first digital, general-purpose computer. It weighed 30 tons and filled a 1,500-square-foot room.
**Near Term Through Saturday:**
Other than a few upslope snow showers near the International Border, dry and windy conditions continue this afternoon. Winds will remain gusty into early evening but will gradually ease tonight as high pressure moves into the Northeast. Where winds calm earlier, temperatures will likely drop quickly since skies will be mostly clear at first. However, increasing clouds later tonight could cause temperatures to level off. It will be a cold night, with temperatures in the single digits south of the mountains and below zero across the north. A light breeze across parts of the western Maine mountains and northern New Hampshire will bring wind chills close to minus twenty degrees, where a Cold Weather Advisory remains in effect.
High pressure shifts east on Saturday as low pressure approaches the region. Clouds will continue to increase during the day, but dry conditions will persist through most of the daytime hours, especially in western Maine. Light snow may begin in the late afternoon to early evening across western or southwestern New Hampshire as warm air moves in over cold air near the surface, lifting the air and generating precipitation.
**Short Term Saturday Night Through Monday:**
A large winter storm is set to impact the region from Saturday night through Sunday, bringing the following hazards:
- Widespread accumulating wintry precipitation, including snow, sleet, and freezing rain. Snow begins Saturday evening and overnight, accumulating quickly across southern New Hampshire and into southern and western Maine. A band of sleet will then move north, mixing with the snow as far north as the foothills. By late Sunday morning into the afternoon, a band of freezing rain will develop along the coast and move inland.
- Strong winds will develop behind the system from late Sunday night through Monday and possibly into Tuesday. These winds, combined with wintry precipitation, could create additional hazards.
Forecast models now indicate the storm system will remain more organized as it tracks inland rather than forming a single low-pressure center along the Gulf of Maine. This creates a more complex and possibly faster-moving system, which could impact the amount of precipitation and its type.
The storm will still bring plenty of moisture up the East Coast, but the exact temperature at different levels of the atmosphere will determine snow accumulation, sleet, and freezing rain amounts. Unlike previous storms with deep layers of cold air that supported high snow accumulation, much of this system will have a shallower cold layer, limiting snowfall and allowing for more sleet and freezing rain. As the storm progresses through Sunday, warming in the upper levels of the atmosphere will lower snow-to-liquid ratios, reducing snowfall amounts.
Snow will accumulate quickly across southern New Hampshire and far southwestern Maine on Saturday evening, with four to six inches possible by sunrise Sunday. However, snow ratios will decrease as the storm continues, leading to lower snowfall amounts Sunday afternoon and evening.
Precipitation type remains mostly unchanged from earlier forecasts, though sleet is now expected to extend farther north. A faster-moving system may result in lower overall precipitation amounts, but there is still a high probability of one inch or more of liquid-equivalent precipitation in southern New Hampshire. This area has been upgraded to a Winter Storm Warning, as mixing with sleet and freezing rain is expected. Sleet accumulations of over an inch, along with ice accumulations up to a quarter inch, are likely.
A strong cold air damming signal remains, meaning subfreezing surface temperatures will persist across much of the area except for the immediate coastal islands and parts of southeastern New Hampshire. In these areas, early snowfall Saturday night may transition to a mix of precipitation or even rain later Sunday, depending on how much warm air moves in. Due to this uncertainty, a Winter Storm Watch remains in effect.
Farther north, a faster-moving system and warming in the upper atmosphere could limit snowfall, leading to more sleet accumulation instead. This will still create hazardous travel conditions, particularly with the potential for an icy band setting up across interior and coastal Maine.
By Sunday night, precipitation amounts will decrease, especially after midnight. At this time, winds will shift west and increase. A strong pressure gradient behind the departing storm will lead to another day of strong winds Monday, with gusts up to forty-five miles per hour, strongest over higher elevations and southern New Hampshire. These winds, combined with any ice accumulation, could cause additional impacts.
**Long Term Monday Night Through Friday:**
As the winter storm moves out Monday night, northwest winds will continue due to a strong pressure gradient, keeping breezy conditions in place through much of Tuesday. A large high-pressure system will bring drier conditions and lighter winds by Wednesday morning.
On Thursday, a low-pressure system will move across the Mid-Atlantic and track eastward. A few forecast models suggest a more northerly path, but most indicate the low will stay south of the benchmark latitude and longitude of forty degrees north, seventy degrees west. This suggests the storm will likely stay offshore, bringing only light snowfall to New Hampshire and Maine.
High pressure will build in behind this system, leading to a drier end to next week.

SYNOPSIS... Winds ease this evening and tonight, but dry conditions will continue through much of Saturday. A more potent winter storm is becoming more likely over the upcoming weekend with snow, then a mixture of precipitation. Cold high pressure then builds in early next week.
SYNOPSIS... A storm system brings a round of wintry precipitation late Saturday into Sunday, starting as accumulating snow before changing to rain near the coast and a wintry mix inland. A shot of arctic air follows Monday and Tuesday along with strong winds. Cold and dry for the middle of next week, with another chance of snow later in the week.

A wind advisory is posted statewide today, some gusts over 45 mph are possible. More snow arrives later Saturday, but it likely changes to a sloppy wintry mix by Sunday morning and then continues much of the day. Beyond that, colder and quiet early next week.
Today (happy Valentine's Day!) is sunny and windy with temperatures in the 20s. Winds could gust up to 40-45 mph at times. More scattered power outages are likely.
The wind will come down quite a bit with fair skies tonight. Lows will be single digits by morning (subzero up north).
The next storm arrives Saturday evening as light snow and continues throughout Sunday. After starting as light snow Saturday evening, we will likely see a changeover to wintry mix of sleet and freezing rain (and possibly even rain closer to the coast) in southern NH during the day on Sunday with a mix hanging on much longer in northern, central, and southwestern areas. Snow totals could be between 8-14" in northern NH where we are expecting it to stay mostly snow the longest, to 4-8" in southern NH with sleet and wintry mix on top. Travel will be difficult on Sunday regardless of what precipitation type is falling.
It looks very windy again on Monday with colder air building back in.
