YOUR MORNING DISCUSSION
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Good morning folks, a warm front is pushing in with some lake effect snow showers this morning, and a few could be briefly heavier into the Berkshires, SVT and northwest CT with isolated coatings or dustings.
Otherwise, our temps are coming up today with highs well into the 30s, which will promote some snow melt which refreezes tonight so just watch for icy surfaces in and around your home and walkways, as well as on some side or dirt roads.
We’ll have a more partly sunny day in the Berkshires and hilltowns after the snow showers dissipate, and southwest winds will start to gust up to 20-30mph or so. Lows will dive into the teens overnight.
For Monday, gusty conditions continue as high pressure to our south and lower pressures north keep the pressure gradient up, fostering southwest wind gusts 20-30mph or so under mostly sunny skies with highs in the low to mid 30s, and lows in the 20s as clouds increase ahead of the incoming strong cold front.
There are signals growing that this front could be accompanied by some Tuesday morning snow showers and even a few snow squalls, which would have Tuesday morning commute impacts, so I will keep an eye on that potential.
Behind the front, highs should climb into the mid 20s to mid 30s, but will fall during the afternoon, and we could see a brief burst of wind by mid-day, slackening thereafter into the increasingly colder evening with lows plummeting into the upper single digits to mid teens.
By Wednesday, a Clipper low pressure system (an ALBERTAH CLIPPAH for all you EMass/Maine folks!) will track west to east through the region, probably passing just north of the greater WMass region.
This will likely bring a coating to 2” and maybe up to 3” or so in some spots by Wednesday evening as light snow moves into the region with highs cresting into low to mid 30s.
A secondary front will reinforce incoming cold air and drops our Wednesday night lows into the upper singles to teens and beget a cold late-week period expected as well.
As high pressure builds in from the west, Thursday will be the coldest day of the upcoming work week with highs only in the mid teens to low 20s, with highs in the 20s on Friday. Both days look to feature fair weather and our low temps both nights will crash into the single digits to low teens.
Sometime next weekend we could see a storm pushing toward New England, and as temps start to come back up, we may see a wide variety of precipitation types with some accumulating snow possible, but it’s a long way off and I will keep you updated throughout the upcoming work week about our weekend storm potential.
Have a great rest of your weekend!
