YOUR MORNING DISCUSSION
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Good morning, folks, this morning’s report will be on the shorter side as there is not a ton to talk about, but we do have a few salient items to review, and so I shall proceed with liberal amounts of double-dash dispensation forthwith heretofore:
–Northwest winds continue to gust 15-30mph this morning, after reaching peaks of 40mph or so overnight
–A gusty/breezy day is on tap, but winds should diminish through the afternoon, and be generally light and variable buy tonight as the pressure gradient eases as our southerly low pushes brief ridging through our region
–Highs reach the upper 20s to mid 30s for a mostly sunny and seasonable January day
–Clouds increase tonight as winds lighten, and lows will dip to the upper teens to mid 20s
–Light snow arrives between 4-6am or so tomorrow morning as our northern stream system pushes east toward northern NY
–The ground will remain very cold given our past cold stretch, and so any snow, even if light, will stick, do just have some alertness when walking or driving Saturday morning
–Despite that, this is a very light event, with periods of light snow Saturday morning, tapering by early afternoon, with a coating to an inch or MAYBE 2” across the region
–There is a decent chance that Worcester County far eastern Cheshire County in NH and Windham County CT see snow showers linger throughout the afternoon into early eve
–Highs tomorrow will reach the upper 20s to low 30s with lows near 20º
–Sunday is the weekend pick for sure, with highs in the upper 20s to mid 30s under sunny skies with light wind, and lows near 20º
–Monday will be the mildest day we’ve seen in a while, and will also be the mildest day of the incoming work week with highs climbing into the mid to upper 30s under partly sunny skies
–By Tuesday, a cold front will approach with a weak storm passing well north of us
–Highs will reach the low to mid 30s with more clouds around, and a few lake effect or upslope snow showers will be possible in the Berkshires and SVT by Tuesday later afternoon and night
–Behind that cold front, fair and colder weather arrives mid to late week with highs in the 20s, lows in the teens, and a bit more wind but not like what we just endured, with gusts in the 15-30mph, possibly
–The next storm signal is not until the following weekend, so our drought continues
–Please remember that my mobile app, which will be free this year, launches in 3-4 weeks from now, and will be available for iPhone and Android devices, so please look for that and I will let you know here as well
Have a great day!
