With the holiday weekend underway and air temperatures expected to be well into the 60s to near 70 degrees today, just a friendly reminder that ocean and inland water temperatures are still much colder. Take precautions when going out on the water. #nhwx #mewx

Following a dry start to the holiday weekend, precipitation will overspread the region. Here is a breakdown of the expected onset of precipitation on Sunday. #mewx #nhwx

We experienced a vibrant sunset at the office this evening. Did you see it where you were? #mewx #nhwx

Not a fan of the heat? A return to seasonable temperatures is just around the corner! A pleasant end to the week is in store with clear skies. Unfortunately, the holiday weekend is looking unsettled, particularly on Sunday and Monday.

Sunny Skies ✅ Summer-like Temperatures ✅ Warm water ❌ Don't let the warm air fool you! Water temperatures are still in the 40s which can quickly incapacitate even the strongest swimmers! If your weekend plans include the water, take safety precautions. #MEwx #NHwx

@sleepy_slick If you do, and you are willing to share, we would love to see them!

Might try to fly the drone and get some shots of the swollen rivers this evening if the rain stops.

Over the past 48 hours the area has seen very beneficial rainfall. Light rain still continues over portions of the area, but here's a good idea of the totals. Thank you to all our spotters and CO-OP observers! #MEwx #NHwx Text List: weather.gov/wrh/TextProduc…

The rainy start will improve as high pressure builds in later, setting us up for a beautiful weekend. The warm up continues next week, with S NH potentially hitting the 90s by Tuesday. Warm air doesn’t always mean warm water, wear your life jacket if heading out. #nhwx #mewx

Rainfall totals continue to trend upward for the southern ME and NH coast as models hone in on an axis of heavier rain developing this evening and pivoting over this area through tonight. This area is less flood prone, but some nuisance flooding may occur with this. #MEwx #NHwx

It will be a wet end to the week, with the highest chances from Thursday afternoon to Friday morning. Conditions quickly clear for the weekend, with only slight (10-20%) chances of rain on Sunday currently.
