The storm that gave us the heavy rain yesterday has moved just off the Maine coast as Arctic high pressure builds from the west. The pressure gradient between these systems will cause strong winds all day today with possible gusts to 50 mph. Skies will be mostly sunny. A wind advisory is in effect.

Dry but still breezy Tuesday and Wednesday as the low pressure will be slow to move through the Canadian maritime region, temperatures will be cold with lows in the teens and highs staying below freeezing.

The chances of a significant snowstorm have decreased for Thursday as most if not all of the computer models have the storm moving well south and east of our area with only some snow showers here.

Dry and not as cold Friday through the weekend.

THE FORECAST:

TODAY – FEB 17 – Mostly sunny and very windy, highs in the mid 30s, wind gusts to 50 mph possible.

Good morning everyone!

A strong and complex low pressure system will affect our area today. Periods of rain heavy at times will occur with even a slight chance of some thunder. The warm front associated with the low pressure system will move through around noon and our temperatures will rise to near 50 degrees. The cold front associated with this system will move through late this afternoon associated with very strong winds gusting at times to near 50 mph which may cause some power outages. Colder and continued windy tonight.

Monday will still be very windy with gusts to 50 mph at times along with continued cold temperatures as we are between the strong low pressure moving off the New England coast and strong high pressure building from the west.

The high pressure will dominate our weather Tuesday and Wednesday with dry and cold conditions and it will still be rather breezy.

Tracking the potential coastal storm that will affect our area on Thursday, still disagreements with possible accumulations with some models hinting that the storm will be too far to our south to cause significant snow, but with 4 days to go before the storm the forecast will probably change.

Dry with seasonably cold temperatures for Friday into Saturday.

THE FORECAST:

TODAY – FEB 16 – Periods of rain possibly heavy at times, becoming windy by late in the afternoon, highs in the upper 40s.

TONIGHT – Mostly cloudy, very windy and colder, lows in the mid 20s. Wind gusts to 50 mph possible.

Low pressure moving into the area today will give us snow this afternoon then mixing with sleet and freezing rain this evening before changing to all rain by midnight. Possible snow accumulations will be around 1-3 inches.

The warm front associated with the low pressure system will move to our north on Sunday. Rain heavy at times during the day on Sunday with rainfall amounts averaging between 1-2 inches.

The cold front associated with the storm will move through by Sunday evening which will cause much colder Arctic air to move into our region at night. Also winds may gust to 50 mph.

Monday will be dry and colder with winds still gusting over 45 mph as the pressure gradient between the low pressure moving off the New England coast along with strong high pressure will occur.

Dry and cold weather will continue Tuesday through the day on Wednesday as the high pressure moves through our area.

Confidence of a major winter storm Wednesday night into Thursday. The computer models are still not in agreement with the GFS model having the storm move too far south to give us any significant snow but the European model has the storm crushing our area with 1-2 feet of snow.
