WEATHER SUMMARY FOR MAINE AND NEW HAMPSHIRE
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAY MAINE
910 PM EST TUE FEB 9 2010

...A WINTER STORM WATCH IS IN EFFECT FOR ROCKINGHAM COUNTY NEW HAMPSHIRE...

MOSTLY SUNNY AND SEASONABLY WARM CONDITIONS PREVAILED TODAY ACROSS
NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND...EXCEPT FOR THE NORTHERN MOUNTAIN LOCATIONS
WHERE COOLER AND MOSTLY CLOUDY CONDITIONS WERE OBSERVED. AT 9 PM SOME
UPPER LEVEL CLOUDS WERE PUSHING INTO THE REGION FROM THE SOUTHWEST.
TEMPERATURES AT 9 THIS EVENING RANGED FROM THE UPPER 30S ACROSS
SOUTHERN NEW HAMPSHIRE AND MAINE...TO THE MID 20S ACROSS NORTHERN
MAINE...WITH THE MOUNTAINS DROPPING DOWN INTO THE MID TEENS. WINDS
TONIGHT HAVE DROPPED OFF TO GENERALLY LESS THAN 5 MPH OUT OF THE
WEST.

AREAS OF LOW PRESSURE IN THE OHIO VALLEY AND THE CAROLINAS WILL
CONSOLIDATE INTO A SINGLE STORM OFF THE VIRGINIA COAST. AS THIS
OCCURS... CLOUDS WILL MOVE INTO NEW HAMPSHIRE AND SOUTHWEST MAINE.
SOME LIGHT SNOW WILL REACH SOUTHWEST NEW HAMPSHIRE EARLY ON WEDNESDAY
AND SPREAD SLOWLY NORTH INTO CENTRAL NEW HAMPSHIRE AND SOUTHWEST
MAINE DURING THE DAY. ONCE AGAIN...THE STORM WILL NOT TAKE THE
TYPICAL TRACK UP THE COAST. RATHER...IT WILL REACH AS FAR NORTH AS
THE NEW JERSEY COAST...THEN KICK EAST OUT OVER THE ATLANTIC. THIS
WILL KEEP THE HEAVIEST PRECIPITATION TO OUR SOUTH. IT WILL GET
CLOSE... WITH PARTS OF SOUTHERN AND EASTERN NEW ENGLAND RECEIVING A
SIGNIFICANT SNOWFALL. AT THIS TIME IT APPEARS SOUTHERN NEW HAMPSHIRE
HAS THE POTENTIAL TO SEE SIGNIFICANT SNOW ACCUMULATIONS.

ONCE THE STORM PASSES...A NORTHERLY FLOW WILL DEVELOP...AND PERSIST
INTO THE WEEKEND. THIS WILL KEEP CLOUDS AND SNOW SHOWERS ACROSS THE
NORTH AND MOUNTAINS... WITH DRIER WEATHER ELSEWHERE. EXPECT
TEMPERATURES TO BE NEAR NORMAL THROUGH SUNDAY.
