Thanks for watching. I'm meteorologist, Jacqueline Thomas heading through the
start of our weekend. We had some clouds in place today. *** few spots,
got *** quick little snow shower early this morning. And as we head through
the rest of our weekend, we are going to see fairly quiet conditions, ***
little breeze at times, high temperatures today did touch 40° in
some spots and the average now The normal high this time of year is in the
low 40s. So just starting to get more and more closer to spring satellite and
radar showing what's left of the cloud still overhead as we head into the
evening hours. But that system continues to depart and then we'll be
left with *** bit more sunshine as we head into tomorrow. So tonight, we stay
mainly cloudy initially and then we do turn partly cloudy as we head into
tomorrow morning, lows tonight fall back into the teens up north and
twenties as you head further south. But we're also springing forward this
weekend, of course, this evening, the sunset happening before six pm just
around quarter of. But by tomorrow evening, the sunset will be happening
just before seven PM. Around So of course, we gain that hour of daylight
at the end of the day, but we lose that hour of daylight in the morning time
with those differences in the sun rise happening later as well, but we're
springing forward. Another sign that spring is inching ever so closer.
Tomorrow, temperatures get back into the forties across most of the state.
So it is going to be *** mild Sunday for us. It will be *** little breezy at
times, but we do at least get back into. Sun? And of course, the sun angle ***
little bit stronger now at this time of year too. So it feels *** little better.
Heading into the start of the week. On Monday, we still get *** fairly quiet
start to the day. On Monday. We'll see some clouds thickening up quickly as
the day goes on, temperatures. Monday will likely reach the thirties, far
north and some forties south all ahead of our next storm system. And we do now
have *** winter storm. watch in effect for all areas. There are shaded in blue
that includes the Conway area down through the Lakes region, the Menno
region from Jaffrey up through Concord as well as you head southeast in the
state. Closer to the coast. There is no watch issued there yet for, we are
expecting *** little bit of mixing to take place in those areas and then far
north across Coos County, you likely could see some lesser totals too. So,
what are we talking about with this next system? The areas that you see
here in this watch have *** good potential for several inches of
snowfall with this next system perhaps even as much as *** foot or more
possible in some of these areas. So that's the type of snow that we have to
keep an eye on here. The timing arrives late Monday lasts through Tuesday into
early Wednesday. So here's what we've got, here's what we know so far and
what we don't know, heavy snow. likely at times with this system, messy travel
is definitely expected. And with this storm system too, we will likely get
some stronger winds. This will be more of *** classic nor easter. The thing
that we don't know yet is really those exact snow totals. But again, several
inches of snow are likely statewide, especially away from the immediate
coast and those areas in the watch that I pointed out have the best chance of
at least right now, the best chance of potentially seeing *** foot or more of
snow from this system, which is something we'll be keeping our eyes on.
So here's the future cast as we head through Tuesday, this area of low
pressure continues to track near the shore. Of course, the track of this,
we'll have to keep an eye on two because *** shift further west could
mean more by way of mixing or milder air getting in here where as to if it
stays just off to our east and we'll be on the colder side of that system and
we likely get also snow for many areas with this storm, long duration or
easter possible heavy snow, some mixing right at the coast and again, some
strong gusty winds which could lead to some potential power outages too as we
head through the early part of the week. So *** lot to watch in these next
couple of days. Remember we spring forward two AM technically overnight
into tomorrow and then to start the week, that system moves in with some
quieter conditions towards the end of the week as we head towards ST
Patrick's Day.
