Late sleepers may miss the tropical downpours early Thursday December 3, 2009. But no matter when you get up, the wind will grab your attention, and possibly your hat too. Wind gusting past 50 mph, first from the south or southeast, then from the southwest and west, is causing widespread tree damage with scattered power outages.
Northern New England, hit hardest during last Saturday, will not be quite as windy as coastal areas. Notice the white arrows with the circular center, this is the low pressure center, forecast to be about 988 millibars over VT/NH during the morning. Near the center, we have lighter wind, almost like an eye. Wind will shift from south to west as the center passes from southwest to northeast during the day, sunny breaks are expected by afternoon. This storm had snow in Dallas Texas, tornados in Florida and 5″+ Rainfall in Tallahassee, and will bring record warmth to New England. Read on for records to beat and to see the multiple advisories in effect here.

Colder air returns Friday, snow making weather is here by Friday Night.
Snow or rain possible south Saturday into saturday night. Cold and dry Sunday.
The barometer is down to 28.71″ (972 mb) in Bar Harbor ME. When is the last time our barometer read this low? I am not sure, but will do some research. The snow is raging in the hills of Western Maine, Northern New Hampshire, and the spine of The Green Mountains in Vermont. This image from Bretton Woods NH this afternoon., one of two ski area open in New England. Sunday River is also open. Most ski areas are getting snow, but will likely not open for a week or two.
Rainfall has also been intense with 2.1″ in Cornish, where we a change to snow occurred about 8 PM. As wind increases tonight, the pasting snow will weigh down trees causing power outages.
This storm is a result of a new weather pattern that will keep us on the cold on snowy side of the front for the most part well into December.
.
.
The surface map from the National Weather Service shows our 978 low in The Gulf of Maine. That low slowly pulls north Saturday. The Saturday story will be snow along the north faces, AND WIND. We do not see this very often.. again from National Weather Service..

That beach image is from MoreBeach.com in Eastham MA. The waves will be crashing, fortunately we have an off shore wind, so beach erosion is minimal.
Over land we are gusting 50+ mph Saturday, not ideal for raking or Christmas Tree shopping. Sunday looks much better, with sunshine and west wind diminishing from 25 to 10 mph. We are looking at more mountain snow Monday, and again Thursday or so. Temperatures will average near to below normal.
We will post updates and storm damage and totals below.

Neil in Franconia NH sent this message at about 9PM and one from Ian at 10 PM
Hi Tim,
Been snowing here in Franconia since about 230p, and we are approaching a good 4″ of heavy wet snow. Still snowing moderately, with a temp right at 31F. Just went outside to shake the snow off the Birches, and could hear trees cracking and crashing in the woods here in the Valley. Power has been flickring off and on for the last several hours, and I am sure we will loose power as soon as the winds pick up. Will checkin with you in the am to let you know what we end up with.
hey….a favor? Can you mention that Cannon is getting smoked too. We need the skiers and boarders to know that. Thanks!
Neil
(Hey Weatherman)
I am at the base of Stowe (Mount Mansfield) and contrary to your predictions, it has been transitioning back and forth from a rain to a mix for hours and still shows no sign of switching entirely to full snow soon. The temperature is somewhere in the mid-30’s. (Ian)

Six to Ten Foot Rollers arrived every Ten to Fourteen Seconds today. This Huge Swell Rallied Riders onto the water at High Tide Today. Usually we can only surf low tide, because less water means better chance for a break. This kind of break at high tide, with a full moon even, is rather rare.
Bottoms up For Major Duck Dive!

Where did this incredible Groundswell come from? A Tropical Storm formed east of Bermuda Last Saturday, and backed toward Bermuda Sunday and Monday. The swell arrived today, helped a bit by our little surprise Nor’Easter on Monday.
The sunshine and mild air today is likely the best weather for until Saturday or Sunday. We may have some left over swell on Wednesday, the sun will shine, with air temps only in the 40s. Rain develops Thursday, changing to snow Thursday Night. Low pressure south of Nantucket Thursday Night will experience ‘bombogenesis’, that is rapid deepening with Hurricane with wind increasing to 50-75 mph south of Maine Friday. The storm is slowly pulling toward Nova Scotia as it intensifies and expands, allowing for banding Rain changing to Snow by Friday Morning. The best bet for plowable snow is from Eastern massachusetts north into New Hampshire and Maine. Sunday River may get a nice powdery snow for skiers to start our weekend. The weekend will be mostly dry with temps rising back into the 50s.
Beautiful Burning Bush and Yellow Tree here in our Wells Avenue Office Park, where we reached 74 degrees today. For Worcester Massachusetts, the high temperature of 73 makes today, October 22, 2009 the warmest day of the month. On October 22, 1979 the high temperature of 82 in Worcester remains the record to beat. Interesting that October 1979 is the snowiest October on Record for Massachusetts. Speaking of October snow..
For the third time in seven days we have an October accumulating snow here in New England. The most we have heard of is 6″ around Grand Isle in Northern Maine. These images were captured from the CrownOfMaine web cams this afternoon and tonight.
Will this be a snowy winter? The best long range forecaster I know, Joe D’Aleo, will be presenting his winter ides at the Southern New England Weather Conference this Saturday Morning.
Here are the latest snowfall amounts from our fourth snowstorm so far this winter.

Classic early-season snow event the likes of what we saw in Northern New England is underway in the Southern Tier of New York and Northern Pennsylvania. Wet snow that sticks to everything is the result of a surge of warmth and moisture colliding with a shallow but intense cold and dry dome of air that’s been in place across the Northeast, and has developed northeast into Western and Central Connecticut.
This photo was sent in from Tim Wright of Middletown CT at 5 PM. Looks like more than inch even along the banks of The Connecticut River.
In most of the Nutmeg State, temperatures are above freezing and this will significantly limit accumulations, though the hilly terrain of Litchfield County into the Southwestern corner of Massachusetts may see as much as two inches of snow Thursday evening into Thursday night.
Farther north, precipitation intensity will remain rather light, and a strong northeast flow off of 55 degree ocean water will keep air temperatures up, even several miles inland to Central Massachusetts, though some snow is likely to mix in for the Worcester Hills. Well to the south of New England, off the coast of North Carolina, a coastal storm has developed, and will pass southeast of New England overnight Thursday night into early Friday morning. This storm will remain progressive, and therefore a quick-hitter, but will still become a gale center that brings wind gusts to 45 mph from the South Shore of MA through the Cape and Islands and down to Long Island. This wind may result in isolated tree limbs coming down in Southeastern Massachusetts, though widespread damage is not expected. Of course, a storm passage to our south also means heaviest precipitation amounts will be along the South Coast, where an inch of rain is expected on the islands of Massachusetts, with nearly an inch possible on Cape Cod.
Friday morning, rain will taper (Western New England snow will have already tapered overnight) and a rather sizeable break between disturbances will develop as the coastal storm races offshore, and the energetic jet stream level disturbance over the Appalachian Mountains takes its sweet time to move toward New England. Still, at the surface, a northeast wind will persist with gusts over 30 mph throughout the day on Friday at the coastlines of Eastern New England, and stubborn drizzle with a few showers beneath gray clouds, courtesy of the prolonged flow off the Atlantic. That prolonged northeast wind will also build the seas considerably – to 10-15 feet – and this will result in splashover at each high tide cycle (astronomically high this weekend) Friday through Sunday.
Most of New England remains in a relative lull on Saturday, though little by little we’ll see heavier precipitation moving back into the region from west to east, out of New York and Pennsylvania. The farther north and west one is, the more cold air will be established to afford the opportunity for snow, and accumulating snow looks likely on Saturday for Eastern New York and Northeast Pennsylvania, meandering into Western CT and MA late as snow in the higher terrain and rain in the valleys.
By Sunday, another coastal storm *may* develop beneath the upper level energy moving overhead, and this would create a swath of appreciable rain and snow expanding farther north – all the way into Northern New England – with at least some accumulating snow possible for Northern, Central…and even interior Southern New England, with at least some accumulation possible in Central and Western MA into Northwest Connecticut. This solution is still quite uncertain, however, as a new dome of cold high pressure will be eager to build in from the northwest, and may nudge storm development farther offshore, so I’d urge checking back again tomorrow for any forecast updates.
Low pressure that dropped the first few inches of snow at our ski areas yesterday, Tuesday October 13, 2009, is tonight a major storm near Newfoundland. wind at Saint John’s is gusting to 65 mph. That low has deepened to 966 millibars, or 28.5 inches. Backside wind is pushing the coldest air since last winter to our six state region. A Frost and Freeze Advisory is in effect all the way to south coast. This is likely the final frost advisory of the fall, as the growing season will have ended for most of us by morning. This will be the fifth night in a row of freezing temperatures in New England. Cold enough air that we have the first Ski Resort of the Season to open here in the east.
Sunday River started the lifts on Upper Lock Mountain today, Wednesday October 14, 2009. This photo was sent our way by Darcy Liberty of SundayRiver.com. The plan is to run the lifts through Sunday with tickets selling for $25.
Now we are turning our eyes to a series of storms coming in from the Pacific, including energy entrained from Typhoon Melor that hit Japan last week. During Tuesday the State of California received 5″-15″ of rainfall with winds to 80 mph. Tonight that storm is breaking into pieces with low pressure centers strung out from Florida to British Columbia. Feeding these storms is hot humid air in Texas and cold air covering all of Canada. The powerhouse low over the Canadian Maritime’s creates blocking, keeping a feed of Canadian Cold air flowing into New England. The state of the North Atlantic Oscillation is currently negative, meaning storms are likely passing to our south into next week. This means we are on the cold side of the storms. Negative NAO also means we can see storms miss to the south. A very fast flow aloft is currently running east to west (or Zonal) across the United States. As the energy becomes more enhanced here in the east we will see an upper level trough dig along the Appalachian Mountains. As the trough digs, storms track closer and closer to New England. The gradient between the stalled high pressure in southeast Canada, and the deepening lows passing south of Nantucket mean we get prolonged northeast wind form Thursday into Monday. Combine the new moon high tides and this flow.. we get beach erosion and minor coast flooding at times of high tide. Tides are high late morning to early afternoon Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.. as well as midnight each of these days. Timing of each low is near impossible.. so let us prepare for a four day Nor’easter.. Friday to Monday. Wind will fluctuate from Gale Force up and down. Rain is likely in southern and eastern New England off and on starting Friday. Air is cold enough Friday and Saturday for snow levels as low as 1000′ if the precipitation gets this far inland. It is possible snowfall amounts may exceed 3″ in our southern hills, that could be enough for some tree damage on the fully colorful foliated forest. Air is surely cold enough for snow in our Mountains of the Berkshires and Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine, but we may not get the precipitation to fall that far inland. Either way, we are now into ski season, the earliest I can remember in years.
The barometer here at NECN fell to 992 millibars or 29.3″ today Weds Oct 7, 2009, the lowest since May 9 when we hit 989 mb and had a tornado in Washington VT. We have many reports of wind damage in Southern New England today. The strongest gust reported is 54 mph in Fall River Massachusetts.. Or 100 mph on Mount Washington.
This image shows a gust front reaching Massachusetts Bay at noon.

No matter how bad we try to hang onto summer, the beach weather rapidly declines after Labor Day here in New England. Sure we can find a nice day here or there, but it seems like our warmest days are usually not on a Saturday or Sunday after September 4th or so. So here we are.. our last hurrah 
.
This weekend looks good for beach goers, though we may be only in the 60s Sunday. Saturday and Monday look warmer, with highs in the 70s at the shore. And what about The 2009 Cape Cod ‘Old Timers’ Long Board Classic? Here is what it looked like at host site, Whitecrest Beach in Wellfleet Massachusetts as Hurricane Bill roared offshore on August 22nd.
The huge waves means we had to reschedule for this Sunday September 6th?
We may have a nice little, Long Board, swell.
The last in a series of Low Pressure systems are moving along the front stalled south of New England. The strongest one is only about 1010 millibars about 200 miles southeast of Nantucket Friday Evening. High pressure of about 1020 millibars here now, will be replaced with a new 1023 millibar low will move in from Canada Saturday. The pressure gradient between the Low Pressure south and the High Pressure north will create a northeast wind, and drive a 3′-5′ swell along our south and southeast shores Friday and Saturday. The swell by Sunday will be down to 1′-3′, at the best surf spots like Whitecrest Beach in Wellfleet for the Long board Classic this Sunday. Al Peterson says you can show up and sign up Sunday at 4 PM, competion starts at 5 PM, there are Tee shirst still available.
Low tide is in the evening, so the start time of 5 pm may be good. The temperature at the shore will be similar to the Ocean, about 65 degrees. The sunshine will be interrupted with a few clouds Saturday as a cold front passes from north to south Saturday.
What ever is left of Tropical Cyclone Erika will be near or north of the Bahama’s Tuesday. The track could bring Erika or another Extra Tropical Coastal storm to New England by next weekend. After that storm, we may not be headed to the Ocean for a swim until May or June of 2010. But of course, many of us will take any nice swell into November, and a few of you hardcore will even hit it December to February.
Our radar is busy again this week, as track strong to severe storms traveling northwest to southeast across New England this evening, August 11, 2009. You can click on the Storm Tracker Radar to the right, the heavy storms are in red. These storms do not seem to be to effected by the setting sun last night or tonight. That is because we have more than just diurnal heating as the driving mechanism. There are multiple fronts with hot air inland and cool air near the coast. The temperature at Logan Airport in Boston fell to 65° with a dense fog this evening, even as Hartford Connecticut slowly cools from a high of 90° for the second day in a row (92° yesterday).
Even with all the action, much of the region enjoyed a fine summer day. The temperature in Chatham Massachusetts hit 86° today, a very rare occurrence. Carole and Lou Maloof sent this photo from Harding’s Beach in Chatham from 7:30 PM.
The jet stream, which has been too far south most of this summer, is finally running along the Canadian Boarder. This means more typical summer weather for the nation.
We still have a subtle trough in the Midwest with a front or two nearly stalled from Oklahoma to New England.
Waves of low pressure will keep the sun and storms going here into Thursday. Tonight we pressure rising in Maine inducing more of wind from the east for southern New England. With dew points and water temperatures both near 70° we have dense fog near the coast, tat will slowly burn off during the days Wednesday and Thursday. We will see diurnal showers and storms each of the next two days. Highs will be near 85° at the New York Boarder, more like 70°-75° near the shore.
By Friday we should have the front far enough south that we have mostly sunny skies with a warming trend at the beach. The forecast is rather low confidence due to another low forming on the stalled front over the Mid Atlantic States. That low will be creeping northward Saturday and Sunday, for now will will say dry and warm this weekend, but we have to watch clouds and rain to our south.
We also see the Tropical Atlantic heating up. Several waves are looking more impressive. And the National Hurricane Center has begun advisories for Tropical Depression Number Two. The NHC forecast for this storm to intensify to Tropical Storm Ana, and lift into the Central Atlantic, not usually a big threat zone for the United States.

On the other side of the world, Typhoon Morakot has gone, but the search and rescue goes on in Taiwan and China. This information comes form Peter McGurk of WSI:
“That 2900 mm (114.17 inch) rainfall at Wei Liao mtn from typhoon Morakot, if confirmed by Taiwan weather service would be a new 48 hr world record. I don’t think it is wrong either because we had a 2855 mm total at Mount A-Li, just don’t know if that second one is a 2 day total or not. Previous Taiwan record 2 day total was 1736 mm at Mount A-Li in 1996″
