WEATHER SUMMARY FOR MAINE AND NEW HAMPSHIRE
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAY MAINE
400 AM EDT WED MAY 15 2013

SKIES CLEARED OUT OVERNIGHT AS WINDS BECAME CALM THIS HAS ALLOWED
TEMPERATURES COOL DOWN QUICKLY WITH FROST AND FREEZING TEMPERATURES
LIKELY OVER INLAND AREAS. AT 3 AM TEMPERATURES IN THE MID 20S TO
LOWER 30S WERE COMMON ACROSS NORTHERN AND CENTRAL NEW HAMPSHIRE AND
THE MOUNTAINS AND INTO THE FOOTHILLS OF WESTERN MAINE ALONG WITH A
FEW OF THE NORMALLY COLDER SPOTS ACROSS INTERIOR SECTIONS OF
SOUTHERN MAINE AND SOUTHERN NEW HAMPSHIRE. TEMPERATURES WERE IN THE
MID 30S TO LOWER 40S ACROSS COASTAL AREAS.

TEMPERATURES WILL DROP A FEW MORE DEGREES BY DAYBREAK. THE DAY
SHOULD START OUT SUNNY WHICH SHOULD WARM TEMPERATURES UP QUICKLY.
HOWEVER, A WARM FRONT APPROACHING FROM THE WEST WILL PUSH CLOUDS
ACROSS OUR SKIES LATE THIS MORNING AND THIS AFTERNOON. AS THE FRONT
BEARS DOWN ON NEW ENGLAND A FEW RAIN SHOWERS ARE POSSIBLE THIS
AFTERNOON INTO TONIGHT.

THE WARM FRONT MOVES TO OUR EAST LATE TONIGHT BRINGING A QUICK END
TO ANY SHOWERS WITH CLEARING SKIES TO FOLLOW. TEMPERATURES SHOULD BE
MILDER TONIGHT THAN THEY WERE EARLY THIS MORNING. LOW PRESSURE HANGS
AROUND NORTH OF US WHILE HIGH PRESSURE SETTLES IN TO OUR SOUTH ON
THURSDAY. THE LOW MAY KICK OFF A FEW LIGHT SHOWERS ACROSS NORTHERN
AREAS WHERE TEMPERATURES TOP OUT IN THE UPPER 50S TO MID 60S.
SOUTHERN AREAS WILL ENJOY PARTLY TO MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES WITH MILD
TEMPERATURES TOPPING OUT IN THE UPPER 60S AND 70S.

THIS WEATHER PATTERN WILL HOLD THROUGH SATURDAY AS TEMPERATURES COOL
DOWN SOME. THE RISK OF A FEW SHOWERS HOLDS ON IN THE NORTH WHILE
PARTLY CLOUDY WEATHER DOMINATES IN THE SOUTH. FAIR WEATHER ARRIVES
ACROSS THE ENTIRE AREA ON SUNDAY WITH A WEAK AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE
MOVING IN. LOW PRESSURE TO OUR WEST AND HIGH PRESSURE TO OUR EAST
WILL CREATE AN INCREASING SOUTHWEST FLOW BRINGING IN WARM AND MOIST
AIR ALONG WITH A CHANCE OF SHOWERS MONDAY AND TUESDAY.
