Weather Watch with Rick Gordon
Sunday’s Weather
Dry and blustery weather today and tomorrow with near to below-normal temperatures into the middle of next week. While the forecast continues to evolve with still considerable uncertainty in the track and details, I am closely monitoring a strong storm system that will affect New Hampshire late next week.
Futurecast
A large and strong low-pressure system will likely impact the Northeast late Thursday through Friday bringing the threat of heavy precipitation and strong winds. At this time the track of this system and precipitation types are uncertain, although travel impacts will be possible going into the Christmas Weekend.
