First Frost - Fall 2008
First frost of the new fall season is likely in many areas across the state
late tonight and tomorrow morning. Yesterday's thunderstorms and heavy rain were caused by a cold air moving down from Canada, and it has now taken control. With the cold air, high pressure is building into New England and will be centered over us tonight. This will result in clear and calm conditions that are perfect for radiational cooling. With no wind or cloud cover to help hold some heat near the surface after dark, expect today's 65-degree warmth to radiate back into space. Cold air will fall to the low spots such as valleys while mountain summits will be a few degrees warmer. Expect an end to the growing season across many mountain valleys in the northern half of the state tonight, but there will be areas of frost scattered around the rest of the state including the seacoast area. Temperatures in the mountain valleys will likely drop to near 30 while the rest of the state should be within 3 degrees of 40. Remember... sub-freezing temperatures are not required for frost to occur. To protect plant leaves from frost, cover them or bring them inside. Where there are bodies of water there will be fog resulting from the water giving up its summertime heat to the cold dry air. Those traveling on nearby roads may find travel delays due to the fog on Thursday morning. Any fog will burn off within the first two hours of sunlight. |

frost
I'm not sure whether to be happy this might help my allergies, or be sad that my pumpkins and squash needed more time.

This weekend low pressure will pass to our north and then deepen in the Canadian Maritimes on Sunday afternoon through Monday. Things may get a little more humid on Friday into Saturday but will become unsettled as the low's associated cold front approaches from the northwest.
This will be the leading edge of more below-average temps for this time of year. High pressure will build behind the front later in the day on Sunday. As the low pressure to our east becomes even lower pressure at the same time as the high pressure tries to move in here, this will create a steepening gradient over us on Sunday night and Monday which means windy. Air flows from where it is, to where it isn't-- from high pressure to low pressure.. and the greater difference/shorter distance between the two, the faster the wind will flow as the high pressure tries to "fill in" the low pressure.) So this weekend will be a quick battle between the outgoing season and the incoming season. Unsettled weather will be the result (although I can't rule out some sun) and the cold air will win. Last night's low at Black Cat was 40 F with heat loss fog noted on the water of the lake... water temp down a degree (69) since yesterday. |
