A WILD AND MILD MONDAY FOLLOWS A FAIRLY CALM AND COLD WEEKEND… A COLD REPRIEVE ON TUESDAY, AND A POTENTIALLY MIXED MESS FROM SOUTH TO NORTH ON WEDNESDAY… 7:15am Sat…
Good morning everybody, as The Kinks sang in the 80s, we’re back where we started (bed head, here we go ’round again, day after day we get up and we say, we gotta do it again, do it again!
So let’s do it again, and jump into the weather details below.
We are starting off cold in the 20s in many areas, and we’ll only rise into the mid 30s to low 40s with a few flurries or a snow shower possible, mainly the further north you go in MA, VT and NH given a wave passing to our north.
We’ll see a mix of clouds and sunny breaks at times. Lows tonight will bottom out in the mid to upper 20s.
After our northern wave skedaddles east of the region overnight, we’re get clearing in our skies tomorrow, which leads to a mostly sunny day with highs again in the mid 30s to low 40s.
Clouds will be increasing Sunday night as a warm front approaches the region, draped east and southeast off of a low center winding up over the Midwest into Monday morning.
With lows in the upper 20s to low 30s, we could get an initial thump of snow or mixed precipitation before dawn on Monday morning as the front passes through, and a few slippery road ways are possible in high terrain areas, but we should warm up pretty quickly after sunrise.
Once we get into the warm sector on Monday, highs should rise into the mid 50s to low 60s with southerly winds picking up, and showery conditions that may produce a few downpours as a convective field of precipitation is drawn northward into New England.
This will be a powerful southerly flow, and winds could gust 35-50mph at times, which may cause some isolated outages.
By Monday evening, a sharp cold front will swing east through the region, and flip any rain showers to snow showers before ending, with lows in the mid to upper 20s.
The wind will veer around to the west overnight as well, and should blow colder air into the region on gusts of 20-30mph, which should last into Tuesday morning.
Tuesday looks cold and calm, with highs in the low to mid 30s under mostly sunny skies, with clouds increasing late, and lows in the low to mid 20s, which will set up an excellent overrunning surface for moister air from our incoming Wednesday system to ride up and over that cold dome in place.
As long as this signaled storm actually tracks east-northeast off of the northern Mid-Atlantic (i.e. close enough to us), then we will start off as snow everywhere on Wednesday.
However, there may be a rain/snow/mix line that sets up somewhere over northern CT, or even up into northern MA, so there’s lots to watch still in terms of how details resolve.
Again, this will be a progressive system, one that has nothing impeding its forward motion and track, so it will arrive and leave, keeping precip amounts down.
If it stays all snow, it looks like a 3-6″ type storm, not a big deal, but impactful nonetheless, but there’s lots that can change between now and then, so stay tuned for updates.
As for the late week period, Thursday looks cold and dry, but we may et some more showers in here on Friday.
Have a great day!
