YOUR MORNING DISCUSSION
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Good morning everybody, lots to talk about this morning so I am going to jump into double—dash mode and rip off a bunch of salient and important highlights for our upcoming weather, which starts off quite busy this early morning:
–A cold front is approaching the greater WMass region early this morning.
–Scattered snow showers with some embedded snow squalls are accompanying the front’s passage
–Not everyone sees one, but a quick coating to up to an inch is possible in isolated areas, especially in the high terrain of the Berkshires, northern Litchfield Hills, Taconics, SVT and the western hilltowns
–Visibility will lower in spots, and roads could become briefly slippery in isolated heavy snow, so be alert
–Temps are mild this morning, either side of 30º for most of us, and basically represent our high temps for the day!
–The front will come through soon, partly to mostly sunny skies will develop, and behind it we could see gusts of 30-50mph at times through the afternoon
–Temps will fall during the day, and as wind comes up, wind chills will dive into the single digits to teens, and possibly below zero in the Berkshires and southern VT
–Clouds increase again tonight and a Clipper low pressure system tracks east through central New England to our north, pushing a warm front through with lows in the single digits to teens, rising late
–This will produce light to moderate accumulating snow from about 11pm through about 5am, lasting into early morning north of the Rt. 2 corridor, then quitting
–CT up to the MassPike in southern MA should see about a coating to an inch, with 1-3” north of the Pike in WMass, CMass, SVT and SWNH
–I can’t rule out some 3-5” fluffy amounts in far northwest MA, SVT and SWNH in the high terrain areas
–It will be breezy out of the southwest, but behind the Clipper low, another wind shift will bring gusts around out of the west and northwest, up to 25-40mph
–Highs Wednesday will reach the upper 20s to upper 30s and then fall again during the afternoon behind a second cold front
–This front will bring ANOTHER round of scattered snow showers and snow squalls with additional light accumulations possible
–Wind chills will crash to below zero Wednesday night as air temp lows drop to the single digits above and below zero with a brief Arctic blast
–For Thursday, it will be sunny, breezy, and cold with highs in the mid teens to mid 20s as high pressure noses into the region, passing south of us Thursday night with lows in the teens with some snow showers possible late
–Friday brings another weaker system that probably results in snow or freezing rain / ice Friday morning with possible commute impacts, and then a change to rain for some, ending as high terrain snow later Friday with highs in the mid 30s to low 40s as seesaw weather continues!
–Saturday looks like the pick of the weekend, but cold comes back behind Friday’s storm, as cold air continues to be located close to us in southeast Canada
–Highs will climb into the 20s under sunny skies with lows in the single digits
–Clouds increase Sunday, and another Clipper low likely brings accumulating light to moderate snow by Sunday afternoon into the night with highs in the 30s and lows in the 20s
–Monday looks milder as the seesaw bounces up and down through the greater WMass region!
Have a great day and I will provide updates later!
