YOUR MORNING DISCUSSION
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Good morning everybody, there’s not a ton of detail to discuss for the next 7 days’ worth of weather, which can be summed with cold and dry today through Wednesday, light snow Wednesday night into Thursday, and even colder and drier Friday into next weekend.
Skies will be partly to mostly sunny today through Tuesday, with partly sunny trending to more clouds on Wednesday ahead of our Clipper system.
Highs should be fairly uniform Sunday through Wednesday, hanging in the mid 20s to low 30s in the western hilltowns, Berkshires and SVT/SWNH, and more firmly in the low to mid 30s in the valley east thru the rest of WMass, CMass, and northern CT, with maybe some upper 30s near Hartford. Lows will be in the chilly teens to near 20º throughout the period with partly cloudy to mostly clear skies.
By Wednesday evening, clouds will be increasing as a Clipper low center dives southeast into northern New England.
This will spread light snow across the entire region late Wednesday night, into Thursday, so expect some slower going for the Thursday morning commute. In general, 1-3” is expected, with perhaps a few sub-1” amounts in areas further south of the low center, like northern CT.
Snow comes to an end Thursday by noon, possibly as some mixed rain or rain showers in the lower valley. Highs will reach the low 30s to low 40s.
An Arctic blast of air is ushered into our region behind this system as it departs into the Gulf of Maine, with Thursday night lows in the mid-teens to low 20s.
By Friday, expect sunny, but blustery and very cold conditions which will be well below average and unseasonably cold. It will feel like January! Highs will only reach the low 20s to low 30s, with lows in the upper single digits, and northwest winds gusting 30mph which will produce very cold wind chills!
Have a great day, and before the sale ends **Tomorrow Night** be sure to bundle up and pick up some of my warm hoodies and/or long-sleeves (or a 2025 weather calendar, if you need one), at the secure links below, your support keeps my reports churning, thank you:
