Forecast Discussion
High pressure will continue to crest in today before sliding offshore into the Gulf of Maine this afternoon and evening as a warm front approaches from the southwest for Wednesday. The cresting high will allow for winds to dampen today, possibly becoming variable and light at times before slowly increasing once again. And as it slides offshore, winds will shift from a cold northwesterly flow to a milder southwesterly flow into tomorrow. Clouds will be on the increase today, mostly in the form of high cirrus clouds before thickening and lowering into the overnight hours. Summits should remain fog free until early Wednesday morning before low level moisture and increasing winds allow for upslope cloud formation to return. The higher terrain, as well as the entire northeast, is about to move into a wet pattern that looks to continue well into Friday. The primary low responsible for this is a tropical low that created a stir and debate last week as possibly being the first tropical depression of the season. Whether it was or not, it has been responsible for plenty of severe weather in the Midwest as well as plenty of moisture being tapped from the Gulf of Mexico. As this low situates itself over the Great Lakes, a tied warm front will move up and stall just south of the summit overnight into tomorrow. This set up will allow a series of weaker upper level shortwaves to move along the semi-stationary front. This will allow rain to overspread the state and may be heavy at times during the day Wednesday. Rain is expected to continue through Friday before the primary lows cold front moves through. As a side note for hikers this morning, trails may be icy as temperatures were well below freezing from sunset Monday through the night. Also, donâ€âä¢t let the sunshine fool ya, it will still be cold on the higher terrain.
