Tuesday’s Weather

High pressure over southeast Canada and developing low pressure well south of New Hampshire, will continue to maintain mainly dry and seasonable weather through today.

Below: He’s back “on air!” Rick Gordon walks you through today’s weather and what’s in store.


Weather Alert

A coastal storm is forecast to develop by Wednesday morning and may affect the local area all day Wednesday. Confidence is low on the storm track, which leads to low confidence in the placement of heavy rain and gusty winds. In the last full week of August, the temperatures will average above normal possibly into early September! Normal highs are in the upper 70s to lower 80s.
