Elsewhere it was cloudy. Temperatures at 3 o'clock this morning were in the lower 40s across southern Maine and in the mid to upper 30s elsewhere in our two states. Winds were westerly at 10 to 20 mph with gusts to 25 mph. Our weather will be sunny this morning as a small high pressure pattern moves across Maine and New Hampshire. It will cloud over this afternoon as a low pressure system approaches us from the lower Great Lakes region. You can expect rain to move in tonight. It looks like most of our area will have rain, however far northern New Hampshire and western Maine can expect snow or a mix of snow and sleet. It will, however, change over to rain or freezing rain after midnight. Snow accumulations will be 1 to 3 inches before it changes over. It looks like this precipitation event will bring us another good shot of moisture. We are thinking along the lines of near an inch of water through mid day Wednesday. This low pressure center will move up the St Lawrence river valley on Wednesday. It will drag an associated cold front slowly across Maine and New Hampshire. This action will take up most of the day Wednesday. Our skies over most all of Maine and New Hampshire will gradually clear up after that cold front moves through. There will likely be some snow showers in the mountains due to left over moisture as colder air flows into the region. === The weather observed at WHITEFIELD at 08:01 AM EST was: === The skies were cloudy.
