Get ready for a quiet weather pattern with little to no rain in the forecast for the next 7 days, and we could easily go longer into early November without any meaningful rainfall. #nhwx #mewx

DROUGHT UPDATE: Maine & NH remain in drought as groundwater levels continue to drop. The area needs 150–200% of normal rain (13–17") over the next few months to recover before ground frost locks out deep recharge. #MEwx #NHwx

A cold front crosses tonight with gusty northwest winds ushering colder air by Saturday morning. The combination of winds and cold air will bring a winter-like feel to the air for much of the area Saturday morning.

This is not the weekend for recreation in the mountains! Strong winds and wintry conditions are going to make for dangerous hiking Friday through Saturday without proper gear and experience. With an extended period of nicer weather on the way, it is worth it to wait! #MEwx #NHwx

There will be a couple chances for beneficial rain this week, but it won't be a washout with a few dry days in between. Points west and at higher elevations could see some wintry precipitation mix in amid the rain. #mewx #nhwx

It'll be on the breezy side today and Friday with scattered showers, mainly in the mountains. Temps cool down a bit for Friday and Saturday before trending back upward for Sunday. Most of the weekend will be dry with the next chance of rain coming late Sunday or Sunday night.
