1000 PM EST TUE NOV 24 2009

PARTLY TO MOSTLY CLOUDY CONDITIONS PERSISTED FOR MUCH OF MAINE AND
NEW HAMPSHIRE TODAY...WITH TEMPERATURES MAXING OUT IN THE MID TO
UPPER 40S. SOME AREAS SAW LIGHT DRIZZLE TODAY AS WELL...BUT TOTAL
PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS WERE LESS THAN FIVE ONE HUNDREDTHS OF AN INCH.
TEMPERATURES AT 10 PM WERE IN THE MID TO LOWER 40S ALONG THE COAST
WITH UPPER 20S AND LOWER 30S REPORTED IN THE MOUNTAINS.

A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL TRY TO INSERT SOME FAIR WEATHER ACROSS
OUR REGION TOMORROW. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR MORE IN THE WAY OF SUNSHINE
AND FOR NOW...IT APPEARS OUR WEATHER ON THANKSGIVING DAY WILL BE
RATHER SO-SO. THERE WILL BE SOME CLOUDS ABOUT... AND A FEW SHOWERS
WILL FALL IN NORTHERN MAINE. TEMPERATURES WILL BE A BIT ABOVE
NORMAL.

BY LATE IN THE WEEK...A MORE SUBSTANTIAL STORM WILL BE TAKING SHAPE
ALONG THE EAST COAST. THERE IS MUCH UNCERTAINTY ABOUT THE EXACT PATH
OF THIS STORM...BUT IT LOOKS LIKE A COLD RAIN WILL DEVELOP ON
FRIDAY. AS THE ATMOSPHERE COOLS...THE RAIN COULD CHANGE TO SNOW IN
THE NORTH AND MOUNTAINS FRIDAY NIGHT...WITH SOME SNOW EXTENDING
SOUTH AND EAST TOWARDS THE COAST EARLY SATURDAY. BUT DURING THE DAY
SATURDAY...THE WEATHER SHOULD IMPROVE ACROSS CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN
AREAS. HOWEVER...SOME SNOW WILL LINGER ACROSS THE NORTH AND
MOUNTAINS. HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING IN FROM THE SOUTHWEST WILL DRY
THINGS OUT ON SUNDAY. TEMPERATURES BY THEN WILL BE A BIT BELOW
NORMAL.

340 PM EST MON NOV 23 2009

LOW PRESSURE WELL SOUTHEAST OF NANTUCKET WILL CONTINUE MOVING
NORTHEAST TOWARD NOVA SCOTIA. NORTHEAST WINDS TRANSPORTING COOL
MOISTURE LADEN AIR FROM THE GULF OF MAINE WILL PERSIST TONIGHT. THIS
MEANS CLOUDY SKIES THROUGH THE NIGHT WITH AREAS OF FOG.
THE CLOUDS WILL KEEP TEMPERATURES MILD FOR A NIGHT IN LATE NOVEMBER
RANGING FROM THE UPPER 30S TO MID 40S.

SOME THINNING OF THE CLOUDS MAY OCCUR ON WEDNESDAY AWAY FROM THE
EAST COAST. THE BEST CHANCE FOR THIS WOULD BE IN THE CONNECTICUT
VALLEY AND SOUTHERN NEW HAMPSHIRE. IT SHOULD BE DRY THROUGH
WEDNESDAY BUT MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES WILL PREVAIL OVERALL. TEMPERATURES
WILL SPAN IN THE LOWER 50S.

PATCHY FOG WILL DEVELOP WEDNESDAY NIGHT PERSISTING UNTIL EARLY
THURSDAY MORNING. THERE COULD BE WIDELY SCATTERED SHOWERS
WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY MORNING. IT WILL AGAIN BE A MILD FOR
NOVEMBER WITH READINGS SIMILAR TO TONIGHT/S.

ON THANKSGIVING DAY...CLOUDY SKIES AND PERHAPS SPOTTY LIGHT RAIN
WILL BE FEATURED. THE THE BEST CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION IS FOCUSED
OVER THE CONNECTICUT VALLEY DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON. AFTERNOON
HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL CLIMB INTO THE LOW TO MID 50S...5 TO 10
DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL RANGE FOR THE DAY.

LOW PRESSURE DEPARTS THROUGH THE MARITIMES TONIGHT WHILE WEAK HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDS FROM THE NORTH ACROSS NEW ENGLAND. LOW PRESSURE OVER
THE GREAT LAKES REDEVELOPS ALONG THE MID ATLANTIC COAST THURSDAY AND
MOVES NORTH THURSDAY NIGHT...PASSING CAPE COD FRIDAY. COLD HIGH
PRESSURE THEN BUILDS OVER THE REGION DURING THE WEEKEND.

THANKSGIVING DAY THIS YEAR PROMISES FAVORABLE WEATHER IN COMPARISON
TO THANKSGIVINGS IN THE PAST. BOSTON...IN 1940...HAD 6.5 INCHES OF
SNOW ON THE GROUND. ALSO IN BOSTON...THANKSGIVING IN 1971 WAS
SOAKING WET AFTER 2.59 INCHES OF RAIN HAD FALLEN.

PROVIDENCE RHODE ISLAND AWOKE THANKSGIVING MORNING IN 1969 TO BITTER
COLD CONDITIONS WITH THE TEMPERATURE AT 12 DEGREES. TWO YEARS AGO...
THE HOLIDAY WAS CELEBRATED WITH A BALMY 67 DEGREE HIGH
READING.

THE WINDSOR LOCKS AND HARTFORD CONNECTICUT AREA RECORDED 7.6 INCHES
OF SNOW ON THE GROUND ON TURKEY DAY IN 1971. ADDED TO THE DAYS
WEATHER MENU...1.56 INCHES OF RAIN FELL ATOP THE SNOW COVER
PRODUCING SLOPPY TRAVEL CONDITIONS ACROSS THE AREA.

   CLOUDS PREVAILED DURING THE EARLY MORNING HOURS ACROSS THE
SOUTHERN HALF OF NEW HAMPSHIRE... AND IN SOUTHERN AND CENTRAL AREAS
OF MAINE. A BIT OF LIGHT RAIN MOVED THROUGH SOUTHERN NEW HAMPSHIRE
... WITH SOME DRIZZLE IN WESTERN MAINE. A FEW SPOTS REPORTED A
LITTLE FOG. WITH ALL THE CLOUDS... TEMPERATURES IN THESE AREAS
WERE RATHER MILD... WITH LOWS IN THE MID 30S TO LOW 40S. ELSEWHERE
... THERE WAS MUCH LESS CLOUDINESS ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS AND IN
NORTHERN MAINE. THIS ALLOWED TEMPERATURES IN TO FALL BACK INTO THE
20S. EVEN AFTER SUNRISE... THE CLOUDS HUNG TOUGH... WHILE MOST OF
THE RAIN HAD MOVED OFFSHORE. THERE WAS SOME SUNSHINE FROM CENTRAL
NEW HAMPSHIRE NORTHEAST INTO NORTHERN MAINE. TEMPERATURES UNDER THE
CLOUDS HAD NOT RISEN MUCH... WITH MOST PLACES SOMEWHERE IN THE MID
30S TO MID 40S. A FEW NORTHERN MAINE LOCATIONS WERE STILL BELOW
FREEZING.

   LOW PRESSURE WILL PASS WELL TO OUR SOUTHEAST THIS AFTERNOON. THE
RAIN WILL REMAIN OFFSHORE... BUT CLOUDS WILL CONTINUE TO COVER MUCH
OF THE REGION. TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE TO RISE SLOWLY... AND
PROBABLY TOP OUT AT OR JUST ABOVE NORMAL FOR LATE NOVEMBER. AS THE
LOW MOVE AWAY TONIGHT... AND A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE ARRIVES FROM
THE WEST... DRIER AIR WILL GAIN THE UPPER HAND. THIS FAIR WEATHER
SYSTEM WILL REMAIN IN CONTROL ON WEDNESDAY. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR
MORE IN THE WAY OF SUNSHINE TOMORROW. RIGHT NOW... IT APPEARS OUR
WEATHER ON THANKSGIVING DAY WILL BE RATHER SO-SO. THERE WILL BE SOME
CLOUDS ABOUT... AND A FEW SHOWERS WILL FALL IN NORTHERN MAINE.
TEMPERATURES WILL BE A BIT ABOVE NORMAL.

   BY LATE IN THE WEEK... A MORE SUBSTANTIAL STORM WILL BE TAKING
SHAPE ALONG THE EAST COAST. THERE IS MUCH UNCERTAINTY ABOUT THE
EXACT PATH OF THIS STORM... BUT IT LOOKS LIKE A COLD RAIN WILL
DEVELOP ON FRIDAY. AS THE ATMOSPHERE COOLS... THE RAIN COULD CHANGE

AN ONSHORE FLOW BETWEEN LOW PRESSURE TO OUR SOUTH...AND HIGH
PRESSURE TO OUR NORTH...WAS HELPING TO KEEP PLENTY OF LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE OVER MAINE AND NEW HAMPSHIRE.  CLOUDS EXTENDED WELL
INLAND...AND ONLY NORTHERN NEW HAMPSHIRE AND NORTHERN AND
NORTHWESTERN MAINE WERE SEEING THE SUN.  BEFORE THE CLOUDS DEVELOPED
DURING THE NIGHT...SKIES REMAINED CLEAR LONG ENOUGH TO ALLOW
TEMPERATURES TO FALL INTO THE 20S IN MOST AREAS...WITH ONLY A FEW
COASTAL SPOTS STAYING IN THE LOW 30S.

THE OCEANIC FLOW WILL CONTINUE TODAY...AS THE LOW CONTINUES TO SLIDE
NORTHWARD...AND THE HIGH RETREATS TO THE NORTH AS WELL.  THAT WON`T
HELP AREAS THAT ARE ALREADY CLOUDY...AND THOSE CLOUDS WILL MOVE
SLOWLY UP INTO AREAS THAT WERE STARTING OUT SUNNY THIS MORNING.
ODDLY ENOUGH...LATER TODAY...WHILE SUNNY AREAS CLOUD OVER...A FEW
SPOTS ALONG THE COAST MAY SEE A LITTLE SUN...AS BREAKS IN THE CLOUDS
OVER THE ATLANTIC MOVE TOWARDS LAND.  THAT WILL MEAN BEST CHANCES
FOR TEMPERATURES TO WARM UP TO ANY GREAT DEGREE TODAY WILL BE UP
NEAR OUR BORDERS WITH CANADA.  AFTER ALL IS SAID AND DONE...HIGH
TEMPERATURES WILL BE FAIRLY UNIFORM ACROSS OUR TWO
STATES...SOMEWHERE IN THE 40S.

AS THAT LOW MOVES BY IN THE ATLANTIC TONIGHT...SOME RAIN SHOWERS MAY
REACH THE COASTLINE...AND MAY EVEN BRUSH AREAS FARTHER INLAND
TUESDAY AS IT ALL MOVES OFF TO THE EAST DURING THE EARLY PART OF THE
DAY. AS TEMPERATURES FALL BACK INTO THE 20S AND 30S TONIGHT...THERE
COULD BE SOME SNOW SHOWERS AS WELL.

THAT HIGH TO THE NORTH RE-ESTABLISHES ITSELF SOMEWHAT LATER
TUESDAY...AND ALLOWS FOR DEVELOPING SUNSHINE...WHICH WILL TAKE
READINGS BACK UP INTO THE 40S. THAT HIGH KEEPS SUNSHINE GOING INTO
WEDNESDAY WITH READINGS JUST A LITTLE WARMER.
