The main batch of precipitation with this storm is gradually pulling away. The majority of New England is dry at the moment, but there is another round of snow coming. This will create a few problems for the late evening commute as temperatures start to drop and the snow falls on the slickening roadways. I don't expect much accumulation, but enough to cause hazardous roadways, especially where they haven't been treated.
Once the snow ends this evening, we will have about a 24 hour break from precipitation on Saturday. Temperatures tomorrow will be chilly, reaching the low 30s, at best. Most places will be stuck in the 20s. We will have a decent amount of sun, so dark surfaces should experience some melting tomorrow. Snow returns to the picture overnight on Saturday night into Sunday morning. A fast moving low pressure system will race through early Sunday morning. Light snow is expected along with some minor accumulations, probably 1-2 inches. It looks like Central New England will be the bullseye for this event. Southern New England, particularly Northern Mass and Southern NH will see a dusting to 1 inch of snow.
The next storm coming down the pipeline will be right on the heels of Sunday's system. Look for southwest winds to kick in on Sunday night, possibly even raising temperatures overnight Sunday into Monday morning. A large area of low pressure will pass far to our west sending a warm front into Southern Canada. This will allow warm air to rush in ahead of the storm. I expect this to be mainly a rain event for nearly all of New England on Monday. Look for the rain to begin midday on Monday and continue into Tuesday morning, possibly ending as snow as the system pulls away and cold air surges back in. After this system, temperatures will remain chilly with another round of light snow possible on Thursday.
Thanks for reading today!
