As is so often the case, we get a
break on the temperature side, but it
comes with side effects.
Yes. Yes, it's rare to get
50s this time of year and not have
it be and then it's going to rain.
But actually today is kind of a nice day.
If you. I was doing a couple of
things like I haven't got my yard
ready for the for snow. I think
a lot of people are in that spot.
Yeah, I'm putting it off a little. Yeah.
Like there's a couple things just like.
Getting it out there.
So I went out and did that today and I
think today is a good day for that kind of,
you know, like like I sell lawn
chairs and stuff out there.
It's just like bring those in or yeah,
I mean, it's just not gonna happen.
I'm like what scenario am I
sitting outside for a while?
51 is we're sitting out right now
in Portland, 51 in Wisconsin,
53 in Sanford, even inland into the 40s.
And so when this precipitation arrives,
obviously we are looking at
rain cloud cover has been about
what I thought a lot of clouds,
but a couple of breaks one.
Down into York County and
southern Cumberland County.
So Portland actually specifically,
probably gonna see a little bit of sun
here through the middle of the day,
but the rain is not far behind.
You can see it working into the
Northeast Kingdom of Vermont.
We probably talked about this before,
but there's a radar hole right out
here out towards St Johnsbury here.
And that's because the radar is in
Burlington and then our radar is in Gray.
And so it doesn't really see in
that area very well.
So what I'm getting at is the rain is
probably a little bit closer than it appears.
Zoom out.
We've got a lot more to go
through this afternoon tonight.
Tomorrow and then early tomorrow night
before we get this system out of here.
But look, the rain snow line,
you know what strikes me about this?
It's not crazy that it's not snowing,
especially over southern Maine
in early December,
but it hasn't even been close.
The rain snow line has been way up in Canada.
And so that's what we're going to deal
with this afternoon as the rain moves in.
It's just pockets of moderate to heavy rain,
especially over southern Maine
through tomorrow morning.
Tomorrow is a dreary day with off and
on periods of rain temperatures again,
upper 40s to around 50.
Along the coastline,
it's cooler in the mountains but not
cool enough to provide any snow.
That rain continues through tomorrow
afternoon, early tomorrow night.
This is eight 9:00 o'clock.
And then we move this out of here
and we're able to clear out.
And Thursday is going to be breezy,
which you can't see here,
but it's actually a decent day with
temperatures in the mid and upper 40s.
But the wind will make it feel
a little bit cooler.
And the same deal on Friday,
which is also a pretty nice day,
but it's also pretty breezy.
So rainfall amounts here from
this system about an inch if
anything the models have.
Gonna push this up a little bit.
Up to the amounts they were putting
out three quarters now they putting
out an inch to an inch and 1/4,
so it looks like it'll be a little bit
wetter than originally anticipated.
So there's that low moves out of here,
things nicer on Thursday afternoon.
Friday looks good, the weekend's fine.
There's a storm nearby on Saturday,
but it stays offshore, but it's close,
so there's probably quite a bit of
cloud cover along the coastline,
especially on Saturday.
Where's that snowstorm
we've been waiting for?
I don't know, it almost
feels like at this point
something's gonna have to back in,
because that's what look at Saturday.
This storm is trying to back in,
doesn't quite get there,
and then gets pushed out of the way.
There's still something hanging
around in the middle of the month.
But fool me once, fool me twice,
all that this pattern has yet to deliver.
Interesting side note on that front,
Brian, if you.
If you follow natural gas at all,
which people do now because
costs a lot of money,
it has plummeted over the last two
weeks because the negative NAO
was supposed to bring us colders,
no air weather, which drives up demand
for natural gas and heating and all that.
And now as we get closer and it's not coming.
Guess what?
The prices are coming down.
It's very interesting to watch
all that happen based on weather.
For us,
this next storm here tonight,
tomorrow is the biggest thing in
our seven day and then we'll see
what happens after. That.
Question is on the temperature
down the road, right.
Are we gonna switch?
Is going to get into winter.
But I'm not in a huge hurry,
so we're alright with Keith.
Thanks so much.
