Wednesday November 6 2024 Forecast (7:21AM)

DAYS 1-5 (NOVEMBER 6-10)

A warm & windy Wednesday is what we have today in the warm sector ahead of an approaching cold front. This front, and a couple secondary boundaries following it, will stair-step us back toward seasonably cool as we head toward the weekend. A gusty breeze will often be with us during this transition, and with the lack of rainfall, fire danger will remain high. During Sunday, clouds return ahead of an approaching warm front, but I’m skeptical of how much rainfall some of the guidance paints for our area. Chance of rain: Yes. Chance of significant rain: Low. More to come on this…

TODAY: Lots of sun. Highs 71-78. Wind SW to W 10-20 MPH, gusts 25-35 MPH.

TONIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 51-58. Wind W 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.

THURSDAY: Partly cloudy. Highs 58-65. Wind NW 5-15 MPH, gusts up to 20 MPH.

THURSDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 33-40. Wind NW up to 10 MPH.

FRIDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 50-57. Wind NW 5-15 MPH, gusts up to 20 MPH.

FRIDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 35-42. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.

SATURDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 48-55. Wind NW 5-15 MPH, gusts up to 20 MPH.

SATURDAY NIGHT: Clear followed by high clouds. Lows 25-32. Wind calm.

SUNDAY: Thickening clouds. Chance of rain at night. Highs 46-53. Wind SE up to 10 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (NOVEMBER 11-15)

Overall pattern is dry, up and down temps but mild for the 5-day stretch. Brief interruption of unsettled weather most likely around November 14.

DAYS 11-15 (NOVEMBER 15-19)

Stronger evidence of a continuation of the same pattern from days 6-10. Mostly dry, up and down temps, brief interruption of unsettled weather most likely around November 17.

Tuesday November 5 2024 Forecast (6:45AM)

DAYS 1-5 (NOVEMBER 5-9)

A warm front goes by early today and introduces another mild air mass, along with breezy conditions, for today and Wednesday. Along with this will come elevated fire danger as the dry spell continues with only some limited warm frontal rainfall having passed mostly to our north last night. A cold front comes along late Wednesday, but outside of a brief rain shower chance, the dry weather continues as we trend cooler and stay breeze later in the week – a west to northwest flow taking over, while a series of fronts knock the temps back down to seasonable.

TODAY: Clouds give way to sun. Highs 66-73. Wind S to SW increasing to 10-20 MPH, gusts up to 25 MPH.

TONIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 53-60. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

WEDNESDAY: Partly sunny. Highs 68-75. Wind SW 10-20 MPH, gusts up to 30 MPH.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 51-58. Wind W 5-15 MPH.

THURSDAY: Partly cloudy. Highs 58-65. Wind NW 5-15 MPH, gusts up to 20 MPH.

THURSDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 33-40. Wind NW up to 10 MPH.

FRIDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 50-57. Wind NW 5-15 MPH, gusts up to 20 MPH.

FRIDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 35-42. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.

SATURDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 48-55. Wind NW 5-15 MPH, gusts up to 20 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (NOVEMBER 10-14)

Next trough and frontal system passing through in the November 10-11 window doesn’t look like a big precipitation producer, and focuses on late November 10, but November 11 (Veterans Day) may end up breezy but quite mild. A cool-down mid to late period with more dry weather expected.

DAYS 11-15 (NOVEMBER 15-19)

A front that goes by early in the period may hang up near enough to the coast so that we can get some additional low pressure to bring more rain, but don’t hold your breath this far in advance. Beyond that more dry weather in the cards. No major temperature extremes.

Monday November 4 2024 Forecast (7:17AM)

DAYS 1-5 (NOVEMBER 4-8)

This week, we remain in the dry, temperature roller-coaster pattern, with a cold start, a warm middle, and a cooler finish. High pressure slides off to our east today and a warm front approaches with an increase in clouds. Rainfall from this front, save for a possible brief few drops, travels to our north tonight. The front passes and opens the door for breezy, mild weather for Election Day and Wednesday, with only a slight rain shower chance by Wednesday evening as a cold front sails into and across the region, parented by low pressure passing to our north. The dry, windy conditions will stoke additional brush fire chances. Existing fires can spread and new fires can start easily in these conditions. The late week cool-down comes with continued dry conditions that will allow fire danger to continue and drought to expand further.

TODAY: Lots of clouds / limited sun. Highs 48-55. Wind calm to SE under 10 MPH.

TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Lows 40-47 early, then a slow temperature rise. Wind SE to S up to 10 MPH.

TUESDAY: Clouds give way to sun. Highs 66-73. Wind S to SW increasing to 10-20 MPH.

TUESDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 53-60. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

WEDNESDAY: Partly sunny. Highs 68-75. Wind SW 10-20 MPH.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 51-58. Wind W 5-15 MPH.

THURSDAY: Partly cloudy. Highs 58-65. Wind NW 5-15 MPH

THURSDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 33-40. Wind NW up to 10 MPH.

FRIDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 50-57. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (NOVEMBER 9-13)

Next trough and frontal system passing through sometime during the November 9-11 period, but not looking like a significant precipitation producer as the dry pattern rolls on with variable temperatures.

DAYS 11-15 (NOVEMBER 14-18)

A couple hints at maybe some rainfall chances early in this period, but still no real strong indication of major pattern change in the cards as of yet. Monitoring…

Sunday November 3 2024 Forecast (1:04AM)

DAYS 1-5 (NOVEMBER 3-7)

We left Daylight Saving Time and returned to Standard Time early this morning (2:00 a.m. EDT became 1:00 a.m. EST). If you haven’t changed your non-auto-changing clocks, make sure you do so! As we get ready for the first before 5:00 p.m. sunset today, we’ll enjoy more sun than we saw yesterday, and it will be dry and seasonably cool with high pressure in control. Heading into the new week, we look at a pattern similar to the previous week, with a warm front approaching later Monday and moving through Tuesday, leading to a midweek warm-up, starting to get knocked in the other direction Thursday when a cold front goes through. You might think we have a shot at some beneficial precipitation with temperature changes and frontal systems, but this is not going to be the case, as our dry spell rolls on.

TODAY: Sunshine – patchy high clouds. Highs 48-55. wind NW up to 10 MPH.

TONIGHT: Variable high clouds. Patchy ground fog. Lows 33-40. Wind calm.

MONDAY: Variably cloudy. Highs 52-59. Wind SE up to 10 MPH.

MONDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Lows 44-51. Wind SE to S up to 10 MPH.

TUESDAY: Variably cloudy. Highs 65-72. Wind SW 10-20 MPH.

TUESDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 48-55. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

WEDNESDAY: Partly sunny. Highs 68-75. Wind SW 10-20 MPH.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 52-59. Wind W 5-15 MPH.

THURSDAY: Partly cloudy. Highs 61-68. Wind NW 10-20 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (NOVEMBER 8-13)

More up and down temperatures in a continued mainly dry weather pattern heading into mid month, including the long weekend November 9-11).

DAYS 11-15 (NOVEMBER 14-18)

Leaning drier over wetter. If blocking evolves, should be strong enough to hold wet weather mostly to the south. Favoring westerly air flow domination and up-and-down temperatures mid month.

Saturday November 2 2024 Forecast (8:09AM)

DAYS 1-5 (NOVEMBER 2-6)

Our dry spell continues along with an up-and-down temperature pattern. This first weekend of November will feature cooler weather thanks to Canadian high pressure. A warm front will approach from the southwest after the high moves off to the east on Monday. As is often the case during droughts, low pressure systems and fronts can struggle to deliver significant rain, and the upcoming system that sends a warm front through here early Tuesday and a cold front later Wednesday as low pressure travels to our north will struggle. Very little rainfall seems likely from it. Temperatures will go up in the “warm sector” during Tuesday and Wednesday, however, with a nice mild spell following the cooler one.

TODAY: Cloud/sun mix. Highs 52-59. Wind NW up to 10 MPH.

TONIGHT: Clear. Radiation fog patches interior lower elevation locations. Lows 30-37. Wind NW under 10 MPH becoming calm.

SUNDAY: Mostly sunny but patchy high clouds during the afternoon hours. Highs 52-59. Wind variable up to 10 MPH.

SUNDAY NIGHT: High clouds increase. Lows 35-42. Wind variable to SE under 10 MPH.

MONDAY: Variably cloudy. Highs 52-59. Wind SE up to 10 MPH.

MONDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Lows 44-51. Wind SE to S up to 10 MPH.

TUESDAY: Variably cloudy. Highs 65-72. Wind SW 10-20 MPH.

TUESDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 48-55. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

WEDNESDAY: Partly sunny. Highs 68-75. Wind SW 10-20 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (NOVEMBER 7-11)

Cooler trend November 7-9 with a couple of cold fronts moving through and a generally dry west to northwest flow. Moderation briefly later in the period before the next front passes again likely without much fanfare as the dry pattern rolls on.

DAYS 11-15 (NOVEMBER 12-16)

Still not a lot of indication of any switch in the pattern to one with wetter weather, but will watch as there had been some signs of blocking with some storminess to the south. But at the moment I see nothing that screams to me “big pattern change”, just mostly more of the same dry, non-stormy pattern with up and down temperatures.

Friday November 1 2024 Forecast (8:14AM)

DAYS 1-5 (NOVEMBER 1-5)

Some brief light showers moved quickly across parts of southern NH around dawn today associated with the first of 2 boundaries to move through. This first one shifts the wind but allows today to remain mild with dry weather, though lots of clouds will dominate the sky during the morning before sun returns. The more significant cool air sits behind the second boundary which will swing through this evening with a few more passing clouds. High pressure builds in for the weekend with fair, chilly early November weather, and this is the weekend that is one hour longer than usual since we do the clock-flip back to standard time at 2:00 a.m. Sunday, which becomes 1:00 a.m. Sunday. High pressure slides out of our area early next week and a warm front approaches Monday, returning clouds to the region, and eventually a rain chance, though that looks limited. It does look, at this point, that the front will make its way through here on Tuesday but it may be a slow process. We probably will have a day dominated by clouds, and slow to warm up, but also largely rain-free. Fine-tuning to come.

TODAY: Lots of clouds A.M. / Lots of sun P.M. Highs 70-77. Wind SW 5-15 MPH, higher gusts, shifting to W.

TONIGHT: A few clouds – mostly clear. Lows 33-40. Wind W 5-15 MPH, higher gusts, shifting to NW.

SATURDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 52-59. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.

SATURDAY NIGHT: Clear. Fog patches lower elevations especially over ponds, swamps, and bogs. Lows 30-37. Wind calm.

SUNDAY: Mostly sunny but patchy high clouds during the afternoon hours. Highs 52-59. Wind variable up to 10 MPH.

SUNDAY NIGHT: High clouds increase. Lows 35-42. Wind variable to SE under 10 MPH.

MONDAY: Clouds thicken. Chance of rain in the afternoon. Highs 52-59. Wind SE up to 10 MPH.

MONDAY NIGHT: Cloudy. Chance of rain. Areas of fog. Lows 44-51. Wind SE up to 10 MPH.

TUESDAY: Mostly cloudy. Areas of fog and a chance of drizzle early in the day. Highs 63-70. Wind SE up to 10 MPH shifting to SW 5-15 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (NOVEMBER 6-10)

Mild with a low rain shower chance November 6 as a cold front moves into and eventually through the region. A couple secondary frontal boundaries knock the temperatures back to cooler levels with mainly dry weather for the balance of next week.

DAYS 11-15 (NOVEMBER 11-15)

Large scale pattern indications continues for some blocking with high pressure to our north strongest and unsettled weather held off to our south most of the time. That’s a continued dry pattern here.
