Weather predictions - Memorial Day weekend

Merrymeeting · 05-25-2004, 08:50 AM

Hi,

The weather accross the country certainly is unsettled. This is reflected in the variety of forecasts showing everything from a sunny, nice weekend to 3 full days of rain.

Rose, are you still out there studying weather maps? I've always enjoyed your analysis and commentary on upcoming forecasts for the Lakes Region. Care to prognosticate on the upcoming weekend?

Thanks!

Rose · 05-25-2004, 11:45 AM

Hi Merrymeeting,

Actually, I've been very busy between work and school, so I haven't been doing any forecasting since early February. If I have time on Thursday, I'll see if I can post a forecast in the afternoon.

Rose

Fun4us · 05-26-2004, 06:26 AM

Hope it doesn't turn out to be a washout!

Rose · 05-26-2004, 07:45 AM

At the moment, it's not looking like a total washout, although there may be showers and lots of clouds a portion of the weekend. I'll try to get a detailed forecast in tomorrow.

Rose

Merrymeeting · 05-26-2004, 08:45 AM

Thanks Rose. Good to see you are still around, albeit busy. Good luck with the studies!

Rose · 05-26-2004, 11:23 AM

Thanks for the good wishes, Merrymeeting. I finished the final last week and got a decent grade, so now I can breathe...and look at weather maps, which I did this morning. If what's coming in Friday gets out quickly, and what's coming in Monday comes in late, then we should have a fairly decent, but somewhat cool, weekend. More details tomorrow.

sunsation dave · 05-26-2004, 01:56 PM

mcdude · 05-26-2004, 05:41 PM

congratulations on the new place and welcome to the club! Have a great week!

Island Girl · 05-26-2004, 10:34 PM

Thanks for the forecast Rose... will there really be a strong NW wind on Saturday?

I just noticed you are from Townsend. I lived there for several years.

Rose · 05-27-2004, 07:33 AM

Hi Island Girl,

The last I looked, the winds for Saturday looked to be from the northwest at 15-20 mph. I'm still waiting to get data this morning, but I'll definitely make sure I include the winds in my forecast.

We bought in Townsend almost exactly a year ago. Lots of space for the dog and the husband outside, and lots of space for me inside.

Rose

JohnNH · 05-27-2004, 09:38 AM

I just looked at the WNDS site and weather with Al is saying winds out of the Northwest at 15 to 25 MPH for Saturday.

If this is accurate, the broads should be a bit bumpy.

John/NH

GWC... · 05-27-2004, 10:14 AM

The Friday is looking a little moist.

The rest is okay with some fun bouncing the Broads, Saturday.

SIKSUKR · 05-27-2004, 10:36 AM

This weekends weather:mostly sunny with NW winds about 20mph on Saturday,mostly sunny with light winds on Sunday with temps both days about 70.Sunday increasing high clouds with temps about 70. SS

Island Girl · 05-27-2004, 12:06 PM

I have been watching the wind forecast from Accuweather and it looks ferocious for three days.

The temps look a bit on the cool side. I await the words from our sage forecaster, Rose!

Here is what the broads look like when the wind is as high as forecasted for this weekend. Click on the pictures for a larger image.

Rose · 05-27-2004, 01:46 PM

Friday: Rain ending in the afternoon with clearing to follow. High in the mid-60's. Southeast winds 5-10 mph shifting to the northwest and increasing to 10-15 mph late in the evening.

Friday night: Mostly clear. Low around 45. Northwest winds 10-15 mph.

Saturday: Clear, with highs in the low to mid 60's. Northwest winds 15-25 mph with the strongest in the early to mid afternoon.

Saturday night: Clear with lows in the low to mid 40's. Northwest winds 10-15 mph.

Sunday: Clear with highs in the mid to upper 60's. Winds northwest 10-20 mph.

Sunday night: Clear with lows in the mid 40's. Winds shifting to the east and weakening to 5-10 mph.

Monday: Clear in the morning with clouds moving in during the afternoon. High's in the mid to upper 60's. Winds south-southeast 10-20 mph.

Note: The temperature trend in the model forecasts was downward, so my temperatures may be slightly high (there's probably a little wishcasting involved as well considering what the temperatures have been like in New England since Saturday). I won't be able to update this forecast again, so keep up to date with your favorite on camera weather weenie.

Island Girl · 05-27-2004, 10:10 PM

Thanks for the forecast. I wish it would be better; warmer at least. Of course when it is 90, we will be wishing for a nice cool day. Then again a three day weekend can't be all bad.

Thanks again, Rose for taking the time to do this for us. You are terrific!

Caruso · 05-28-2004, 07:52 AM

The predicition isnt so bad. We can deal with wind, it is the rainy, cold weekends without sun that are not much fun. We never go up until we get the final from Al on WNDS, he is always on the money. At least the Sun will be out to warm us up a bit.

Merrymeeting · 05-28-2004, 09:47 AM

Thanks Rose!

A great weekend to all.

Pepper · 05-28-2004, 09:52 AM

C'mon Up, y'all! The weather's just fine! We've invited the clouds to make their departure quickly so that everyone can enjoy their holiday activities. That wind is just helping the clouds move on!

Island Girl · 05-29-2004, 03:49 PM

Can you believe this forecast.... Mommy always said, no planting until after June 1st. This is really cutting it close.

Rose · 05-29-2004, 04:55 PM

You're very welcome, Island Girl. I don't know about up there, but the gusts are stronger than I thought they'd be. Hope everyone is safe.

Rose

DRH · 05-29-2004, 08:57 PM

The wind howled all day, reaching 36 mph early this afternoon! But when the sun began to set, the wind calmed down and we were treated to the following beautiful sunset, looking from near Minge Cove toward Smith Point.

trfour · 05-29-2004, 09:21 PM

My thanks to Rose as well. From what I can see, your forecast is as close as any. We need your forecasts here in the Lakes Region to help us with our weather, as New England weather is the toughest to forecast.
I think that we are all doing okay here this weekend, thanks to you!
