Mount Washington Valley Forecast

Wednesday, October 16, 2013
4:30 AM

A weak warm front from the southwest will lift across the state today as a weak low moves northward along the coast. These two weather features will make for a cloudy day overhead as most areas wake up to patches of fog. The moist flow and slight instability caused by the passing weather features will also be enough to produce some light drizzle this morning and rain showers for the afternoon. Overnight and into Thursday, low pressure from the Great Lakes will lift northeast, dragging a cold front eastward. This incoming front will keep skies cloudy as rain showers spread in. Unsettled weather should wind down by Thursday afternoon allowing some areas to see a bit of clearing.

An upper level trough setting up over the Midwest will be directing our weather for the remainder of the forecast period. An area of low pressure from the Ohio River Valley will be the first bit of weather swung our way as it moves northeast Thursday night into Friday morning. Clouds and rain showers can be expected as this low moves through. Friday night, a weak ridge will build allowing for a bit of clearing heading into Saturday. Saturday night and into Sunday, the next system will rotate into our region, bringing clouds and showers with it. A cold front then moves through Sunday night into Monday, dropping temperatures as showery precipitation continues. Depending on the timing of it all, some areas in the far north may see a dusting of snow overnight before things wind down by Monday and high pressure starts to return.
