In the 50s, ALMOST Everywhere

WHere the warm air has flooded in, it is extremely warm. Where it hasn't, the cold air is stubborn as hell! Its 54 in Lebanon right now, with temps near 60 in southern NH, all of this with no help of sunshine. That makes me think we'll hit 60 today.

But the Pemi River Valley is stuck in the mid 30s at this hour. This happens a lot, and its called cold air damming, when a shallow layer of dense cold air basically gets stuck at the surface while warm air rides above it. Its 52 degrees at 3300 feet on Mt Washington. Eventually, the inversion should break since the winds are somewhat gusty, and that should mix the atmosphere up, and break the inversion, but the deep glacier like snow pack in central NH is really screwin those folks over this morning. Hope for the best. A couple current temperatures...

The warm air is almost into the Pemi Valley, but its going to take a bit longer. Prob till early afternoon.

A line of showers and thundershowers will roll through later, with gusty winds. I'll have an update on the high temperatures later.
