Hi from Plymouth State

I arrived here in Plymouth, NH early this afternoon and settled in nicely to my dorm. My roomate's name is Eric Byrnes and he is a very nice guy from a small town in eastern Maine. My first class is on Wednesday, Semptember 1st and I am planning on studying the weather. I am planning to continue to blog about the Boston weather while I am here.


Hurricane Earl: As of the 11 PM advisory Hurricane Earl has winds of 100 MPH and is 100 miles east of Puerto Rico. Hurricane Warnings have been issued for the Leeward Islands and a Tropical Storm warning is in effect for Puerto Rico. The latest track makes it a Category 4 Hurricane with winds of 135 MPH on Thursday afternoon off the Carolina coast. Then the offical track sends it out to sea, but within striking distance of grazing the Cape and Islands. However, ALL of the state of MA is in the "cone of question", that is the cone of where the eye is expected to travel. That means we could still get a DIRECT hit on Friday afternoon as a Category 2 or 3 Hurricane. Stay tuned for more details throughout the week.


Boston, MA forecast:

Tonight: Clear, with lows near 65 in Boston and 56 in the suburbs.

Monday: Sunny with a seabreeze. Highs near 84 at the beaches, 90 in JP and 94 inland. North wind of 10-15 MPH.

Monday night: Clear, lows in the low 60's.

Tuesday: Sunny and hot Highs in the mid 90's.

Wednesday: Sunny with increasing humidity. Highs in the mid 90's.

Thursday: All eyes turn to Hurricane Earl approaching New England from the south. It will be a close call-so stay tuned. Sunny with highs around 90.

  1. When will Earl pass by N.E. and what weather is behind it? Will it affect our N.H. hiking plans for Sat?
