Cool, damp weekend...warm-up on tap for next week

If you ever want to describe how variable New Hampshire weather is, use these past few weeks as an example. In the beginning of May, the state was cleaning up from floods that resulted from a strong April nor'easter. For the beginning of May, we saw some very warm temperatures (approaching 90 on the 9th and 10th) and several days of high fire danger due to very dry conditions. Then these past few days, which have seen temperatures around 10 degrees below normal and over an inch of rain. What will be next?

Looking at the weather station data, it is clear that the barometric pressure has bottomed out and is poised to start rising. This is because the upper level low that is responsible for the dreary weather of late is weakening and will continue to fall apart. This means that tomorrow will be a little warmer and drier than today, and we should see a good deal of sun on Monday. Temperatures will also start to rise, rebounding from a high of 51 (observed with my weather station, of course) to near 80 on Wednesday.

For now, watch a movie or get some cleaning done...any indoor activity to keep you entertained on this cool and dreary weekend.

Until next time!
