Breaking down New England's current weather while looking back on the past.

05/01/2024

Daily snapshot - January 5: Friday will be a mainly sunny, but cold day for New England. Winds will remain blustery, gusting to around 20-25mph, which will add to the chill. The morning will be particularly cold, with wind chills dropping into the single digits above zero to the -10s across New England for the morning low. Afternoon highs will be in the upper 20s to mid 30s in southern New England and the low 20s to low 30s in northern New England.

05/01/2024

Winter storm watches have been issued across New England for Sunday's storm. On our first official snowfall map, we're thinking there will be more 8-10 rather than 10-12 at this point in the 8-12" zone. We also may need to trim back snowfall amounts across the northern tier. We'll have our usual, detailed forecast at NESC in the morning.

04/01/2024

Daily snapshot - January 4: A stronger cold front will drop through New England on Thursday. This cold front will trigger some scattered snow showers, mainly in northern New England. Snow showers will be most numerous in Vermont and northern Maine, where scattered dustings to up to an inch of snow is possible. More isolated flurries or rain showers will be possible in central and southern New England. Outside of the scattered showers, the day will be mainly cloudy, although some clearing will be possible in the afternoon. The passage of the cold front will result in breezy and colder weather by Thursday evening. Highs will be in the mid 30s north to mid 40s south. The northern tier of New England will likely see morning highs with temperatures falling in the afternoon as the cold front crosses there in the morning.

03/01/2024

Daily snapshot - January 3: Wednesday will be similar to Tuesday with temperatures a couple degrees warmer and some more clouds likely. There will be more clouds across the White Mountains and northern Vermont with some flurries possible. Coverage in snow showers will increase across the northern third of New England heading into the evening hours as a weak disturbance and cold front begin to cross New England. Outside of the northern tier, Wednesday will be a precipitation-free day. Highs will be in the mid 30s to mid 40s from north to south. On the map below, you can also see our weekend storm starting to move across the west.

02/01/2024

Daily snapshot - January 2: Ridging builds into New England for Tuesday. This will bring the region another quiet and seasonable day with partly cloudy skies. Warming temperatures aloft will allow Tuesday to get a few degrees warmer than Monday. Highs will be in the mid 30s to low 40s in southern New England and the low 30s to low 40s in northern New England. This will come after a cold morning; lows will be in the teens to low 20s for most.

31/12/2023

A couple powerful storms, a strong tornado, flooding and one extreme arctic blast define New England's weather for 2023.

Here's a look back at the five weather-defining moments of 2023 for New England: https://www.newenglandstormcenter.com/post/five-weather-defining-moments-of-2023-for-new-england

31/12/2023

Daily snapshot - December 31: New Year’s Eve will finally see a break in this cloudy, damp pattern. High pressure briefly builds in, allowing for partly cloudy to mostly sunny skies. Some lingering mountain flurries will be possible in the morning. Other than that, it will be a quiet and seasonable end to 2023. Highs will be in the mid 30s to low 40s in southern New England. Northern New England will see a decent temperature gradient in the afternoon, with highs in the low 40s near the Massachusetts border and the upper 20s across the northern tier with the 30s in between.

30/12/2023

Daily snapshot - December 30: A low pressure system will very slowly work its way east through the Gulf of Maine on Saturday. This will lead to another day of clouds and scattered showers (rain showers south and snow showers north). Showers will be most numerous in the morning before becoming much more isolated in the afternoon for most. Maine (particularly eastern Maine) will see snow showers continue through the afternoon. Total snow accumulations (where snow showers persist) will come in at 1-4 inches across northern areas. As the system exits east, a cold front will be dragged across New England. This front will usher in drier air, bringing an end to this unsettled stretch of weather (for now). Highs will be in the upper 30s to mid 40s in southern New England and the low 30s to low 40s in northern New England.

29/12/2023

Daily snapshot - December 29: New England’s weather will continue to be dominated by low pressure on Friday. That is to say it will be cloudy and unsettled. Scattered rain showers will cycle through most of New England throughout the day. There will generally be more precipitation in northern New England than southern New England. Central and northern Maine will see more by way of a wintry mix and snow showers. These areas could see up to three inches of snow and a tenth of an inch to a quarter of an inch of ice accretion from freezing rain through Saturday. A winter weather advisory is in effect for central Maine through 10am Saturday. All precipitation (rain, freezing rain and snow) will be on the light side. Remember the wintry accumulations will occur over the course of 24+ hours. This all comes as one area of low pressure exits and another cutoff low approaches from the south. Highs will be in the mid to upper 40s in southern New England and the low 30s to low 40s in northern New England.

28/12/2023

Daily snapshot - December 28: A weak storm system will pass through New England Thursday. Showers will continue through the overnight across southern New England and expand northward during the day on Thursday. This system is far weaker than the previous two, and rainfall rates will be light to moderate most of the time. Southern New England will see the steadiest rain, where up to an inch will be possible through Thursday evening. The further north in New England you go, the lighter and more scattered the showers will be, along with less overall rainfall. Some mixing/ice will be possible across central and northern Maine. A winter weather advisory is in effect through 7am Thursday, where up to a tenth of an inch of ice is possible. Any precipitation in this area will be very light. Showers will come to an end from southwest to northeast starting Thursday afternoon in southern New England. Scattered showers will likely continue through much of the day in northern New England. Highs will generally be in the 40s region-wide.

26/12/2023

Daily snapshot - December 26: Tuesday will basically be a repeat of Christmas with a cloudy morning with some clearing in the afternoon. Much of New England will begin the day with dense fog. The day should remain dry, but some light showers/drizzle will be possible toward the evening across western areas. Highs will once again be mild with high pressure offshore and a southerly flow continuing. Temperatures will reach the mid 40s to low 50s region-wide.

25/12/2023

Daily snapshot - December 25: A weak disturbance remains overhead of New England on Christmas. This will lead to another mainly cloudy day with spot drizzle or light showers, mainly in the morning. Like Christmas Eve, a vast majority of the day will be dry. There may be some breaks in the clouds in the afternoon. There will also likely be some dense fog Christmas morning in southern and central areas. A southerly flow will keep the mild temperatures around with highs in the 40s region-wide with some areas reaching for 50° in southern New England.

24/12/2023

Daily snapshot - December 24: A weak disturbance will move through New England tonight into Christmas Eve morning. This system is weakening and running into dry air. This will lead to scattered light snow/rain showers, mainly overnight and into the morning. A second round of light showers or drizzle will be possible in the afternoon, again scattered. Afternoon showers would be most likely in southern and central New England. A vast majority of the day should be precipitation-free, although mostly cloudy skies will likely stick around. Southerly flow continues, allowing afternoon highs to climb into the upper 30s to mid 40s region-wide.

23/12/2023

Daily snapshot - December 23: Saturday will be another day dominated by high pressure. The high will shift offshore, which will promote a southerly flow. This will, in turn, allow temperatures to climb higher than the past couple days. After a cold start to the day, highs will make it to the upper 30s to mid 40s in southern New England and the low 30s to low 40s in northern New England. Skies will be partly cloudy.

22/12/2023

Daily snapshot - December 22: Friday is basically a repeat of Thursday. The main difference will be lighter winds. With the low pressure to our east finally pulling away, it will loosen the pressure gradient. High pressure will likely move directly overhead of New England, bringing a generally sunny sky. Highs will be in the mid 20s to mid 30s region-wide.

22/12/2023

The fallout continues after severe flooding and wind damage this week. Here's the latest:

21/12/2023

Daily snapshot - December 21: A strong area of high pressure to New England’s north will remain in control for Thursday. This, along with a (dry) cold front, will create a northerly flow, leading to chilly temperatures. An area of low pressure to New England’s east will create a tight pressure gradient over New England. This will lead to a breezy day with winds gusting 25-35mph. This will add to the chill in the air. Highs will be in the 30s in southern New England and the mid 20s to mid 30s in northern New England.

Most of New England has seen their high temp for the day. Temps will generally be stagnant or falling through the afternoon. Below shows temps through about 4pm:

An interesting satellite time-lapse from this past week. It begins on October 5th (last Thursday). You can see the cold front approaching New England from the west while Philippe works northward in the Atlantic. The two combine over New England on October 7th (Saturday) and proceed to sit and swirl in Canada, north of the Great Lakes.
