….MAY THE 4TH BE WITH YOU, AND A NICE MORNING TOO!….
We’ve got a phenomenal morning underway as a deep layer of dry air moves over all of New England. I am expecting clear to mostly clear skies through the morning hours today so enjoy it! By afternoon an upper level pulse of energy will swing through New England and, with a little support from some middle and low level moisture that will pinwheel through the area, we will see cloudiness develop this afternoon. It’s unstable enough that there could be a pop up shower or two (maybe three?) here and there around New England. By sunset the shower threat will end across southern New England. A bit closer to the exiting upper level disturbance, through central and northern Maine expect clouds and the risk of a rain (or snow at higher elevations) shower to continue overnight. High temperatures today should be in the middle to upper 60’s for most areas except for northern VT/NH and central and northern ME where temperatures will stay in the low 50’s to near 60 degrees.
Tomorrow should be another fairly nice day with mostly clear skies but temperatures will be a little bit cooler with highs around 50 to the north and into the low 60’s in southern New England.

A storm may take shape along the mid-Atlantic coast by Wednesday afternoon and bring some precipitation our way Wednesday night and Thursday. It seems unbelievable that I should have to say this, but, the precipitation type for this storm is a bit up in the air right now. It could be cold enough for accumulating snow to fall in New England. Just how close to the coast that accumulating snow penetrates is the big question. I’ll be looking this over and will have a little more detail when I release my new forecast for New England later today.
