WEATHER SUMMARY FOR MAINE AND NEW HAMPSHIRE
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAY MAINE
1005 AM EST WED NOV 25 2009
AN ONSHORE FLOW CONTINUED DURING THE NIGHT...AND EARLY WEDNESDAY
MORNING...THAT FLOW EXTENDED FARTHER INLAND AND WESTWARD. ONLY A
FEW SPOTS ACROSS NORTHERNMOST NEW HAMPSHIRE AND NORTHWESTERN MAINE
MANAGED TO ESCAPE THE EFFECTS OF THE OCEANIC FLOW...BUT ONLY JUST
BARELY. OUTSIDE OF THOSE AREAS...THE WEATHER PICTURE WAS A DRAB AND
DREARY ONE...WITH LOW CLOUDS COVERING THE SKIES...AND MANY AREAS
SEEING DRIZZLE AND FOG AS WELL. THOSE AREAS UP NEAR CANADA THAT
MANAGED TO STAY CLEAR FOR SEVERAL HOURS LAST NIGHT...SAW
TEMPERATURES DIP INTO THE 20S...BUT MOST AREAS STAYED ABOVE
FREEZING...AND IN MANY CASES READINGS NEVER GOT LOWER THAN THE 40S.
MOST AREAS SAW ONLY TRACE AMOUNTS OF PRECIPITATION...BUT WHERE THE
OCEANIC FLOW WAS STRONGEST...FROM THE MIDCOAST AND POINTS TO THE
EAST...THERE WERE REPORTS OF ONE QUARTER TO ONE THIRD OF AN INCH OF
NEW PRECIPITATION.
A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL TRY TO ERODE AWAY SOME OF THE CLOUDS
TODAY...BUT WILL HAVE ONLY MINIMAL SUCCESS AS THE HIGH STARTS TO
MOVE AWAY...AND LOW PRESSURE MOVES NORTHWARD THROUGH THE ATLANTIC
OFF THE EASTERN SEABOARD. THAT LOW WILL BEGIN TO STRENGTHEN AS IT
NEARS CAPE COD FRIDAY MORNING...AND MOVES UP INTO NEW BRUNSWICK
CANADA BY SATURDAY MORNING. THAT'LL KEEP PLENTY OF CLOUDS ACROSS
MOST AREAS TODAY...ALONG WITH DRIZZLE AND FOG...ESPECIALLY NEAR THE
COAST. TEMPERATURES WON'T RISE VERY MUCH AS THEY TOP OUT MAINLY IN
THE 40S...WITH A FEW 50S OVER FARTHEST SOUTHERN AREAS.
TONIGHT SKIES WILL CONTINUE CLOUDY WITH A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND
DRIZZLE AND PATCHY FOG. LOWS TONIGHT WILL BE IN THE 30S TO THE LOWER
40S.
ON THANKSGIVING DAY THE RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL BECOME MORE
PRONOUNCED BEFORE THE LOW MOVING NORTHWARD STARTS TO EFFECT US...SO
PARTLY SUNNY SKIES ARE EXPECTED. ANOTHER MILD DAY IS EXPECTED WITH
TEMPERATURES IN THE 50S.
BY THURSDAY NIGHT...THAT LOW WILL HAVE BECOME BETTER ORGANIZED.
SOME UNCERTAINTY EXISTS ABOUT THE EXACT PATH OF THIS STORM...BUT IT
LOOKS LIKE RAIN WILL DEVELOP LATE THURSDAY NIGHT AND CONTINUE INTO
FRIDAY BEFORE TAPERING TO SCATTERED RAIN SHOWERS. ON SATURDAY...THE
WEATHER SHOULD IMPROVE ACROSS CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN AREAS.
HOWEVER...SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS WILL LINGER ACROSS THE NORTH AND
MOUNTAINS. HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING IN FROM THE SOUTHWEST WILL DRY
THINGS OUT ON SUNDAY. TEMPERATURES WILL BE COLDER AND A BIT BELOW
NORMAL.
THE HIGH SHOULD KEEP US IN FAIR WEATHER PART OF MONDAY...BEFORE
WARMER AIR MOVING UP THE BACK SIDE OF THE HIGH BRINGS ANOTHER CHANCE
OF SHOWERS TO NEW ENGLAND LATER MONDAY INTO TUESDAY.
