A PAIR OF CLIPPER LOWS BRING LIGHT SNOWS TO THE WMASS REGION LATE TONIGHT AND LATE TOMORROW NIGHT, BOTH ENDING EARLY MONDAY AND TUESDAY MORNING, RESPECTIVELY… TONIGHT’S BRINGS SOME SCATTERED COATINGS, TOMORROW NIGHT’S BRINGS A COATING TO 2″, MORE NORTH LESS SOUTH… AN ARCTIC BLAST ARRIVES MID WEEK WITH WIND CHILLS WAY BELOW ZERO BY EARLY THURSDAY MORNING… COLD AND FAIR LATE WEEK WITH A COASTAL SNOWSTORM DEVELOPING NEARBY BY SATURDAY, WILL MONITOR FOR IMPACTS IN WMASS AND SURROUNDING COUNTIES (THE “GREATER WMASS REGION”)…7:55am Sunday

Good morning everybody, I hope you caught that blast of lovely light this morning to the east with the sunrise.

Any pics?

Please post below (and if you have any from sunset last night, we’d love to see those too!)

For our weather this morning, while some temps descended into the single digits overnight, many hung in the teens as clouds developed over central and eastern NY and drifted into parts of our region.

Speaking of clouds, they’ll more or less dominate the day with mostly cloudy skies expected and mixed with a few sunny breaks as a cold front moves closer to the region with a wave of low pressure that will ripple along it over night and bring some snow showers our way.

Highs will reach the mid 20s to low 30s for a nice, temperate late January day, and clouds will thicken this evening.

For tonight, scattered snow showers will move into the region and will provide scattered areas of coatings as our little Clipper wave moves through. Snow showers will arrive around midnight and should be out of here by dawn, with lows in the single digits to low teens.

After any snow showers clear out of here tomorrow morning, we’ll end up with a mostly sunny day and highs in the 20s.

Clouds move right back in Monday evening as a bit more of a robust Clipper low tracks east toward central and northern New England.

Lows will be dropping into the mid to upper teens as snow showers and periods of light (to perhaps briefly moderate) snow moves in around midnight and lasts until between 6-8am Tuesday morning, so some early Tuesday morning commute impacts are possible.

This will be a dry fluffy snow, and anywhere from a coating to 2″ should accumulate, with a coating to 1″ along and south of the Pike and 1-2″ north of it, with perhaps a few spots approaching 3″ in the high elevations west of the CT River in MA and VT.

Any snow showers end earlier in the morning, and then Tuesday turns into a partly sunny day with highs in the low to mid 30s as yet another cold front starts to approach the region behind our light snowfall.

Tuesday night lows will bottom out into the single digits to low teens and highs on Wednesday will be in the mid teens to low 20s as cold air starts to push more deeply into the region on northwest flow.

By Wednesday night a reinforcing shot of Arctic air should bring wind gusts up over 20mph, and with lows in the single digits below zero we could see Wind Chill Advisories and even Wind Chill Warnings get hoisted by the NWS for wind chills down to 25 below zero by very early Thursday morning! BRRR!

The super cold will be short-lived, however, as temps rebound into the 20s by Thursday afternoon and low 30s by Friday under sunny skies.

It’s late Friday night into Saturday that we have to watch, as a coastal storm will likely form somewhere in our vicinity, and we’ll be cold enough to produce a substantial snowstorm in the WMass region, but as has been the case this January, we need the storm tracks to cooperate.

For now, stay tuned for updates on what could be an impactful winter storm.

Have a great day!
