Day 8 of Augusta, ME (KAUG)

Clouds had a greater effect than expected in preventing cooling last night, with a low of 32F. Wet snow, moderate at times, began last night but is ending, limiting the high to 34F. With the temperature just above freezing, it has been able to record precipitation, 0.36” total. Last day of Augusta should be dry, with the next storm not arriving until after Saturday 06z. Moderate northwesterly winds tonight will gradually lighten tomorrow as high pressure briefly settles in. The northwesterly winds will advect moderately colder air, leading to a colder night tonight, but plenty of March sunshine and a bit of downsloping will boost temperatures during the day tomorrow, even if a bit mitigated by fresh snow cover. A light easterly wind will develop tomorrow evening with thickening clouds ahead of the next storm as the high pressure moves to the east, but likely will not affect the high temperature, low temperature, or maximum wind.
