Happy Valentine's Day everyone. Took the day off from posting yesterday, back at the grind today.
A low pressure system approaching the Northeastern US today will push mild air, mild is a relative term for the season. Southwesterly winds will push temperatures into the 40s for much of New England today. This storm will pass far to the north and west of the region late today and a cold front will pass through early this evening. I don't expect that there will be much in the precipitation with the frontal passage, but there will be a lot of wind. These gusty winds will continue through the night and into early Tuesday before diminishing. Wind gusts of up to 45 mph are expected with sustained winds between 15 and 30 mph for the overnight. This may lead to a few power outages.
These winds tonight will be out of the northwest, forcing cold air back into New England. The cool down will be short lived as the winds will turn back to the southwest on Tuesday night and then the warm up begins again. This warm up will be much more significant and sustained. Temperatures will gradually climb to well above normal through Friday. Again this warm up will come in advance of a storm system that is expected to pass to the northwest of New England. This system right now should slide by on Friday night. I would imagine that the timing of this will waver over the next few days, but it looks like temperatures will be cooler for the upcoming weekend.
Wednesday and Thursday will give the region highs in the upper 30s and 40s and then on Friday, some places, mainly in Southern New England may reach the 50s. The snow pack should diminish quite a bit, but I doubt we'll any grass yet.
In terms of snow fall, we may get a little over the upcoming weekend, but I won't get into specifics. As I mentioned earlier, the location and timing of the storm system on Friday night will likely change a bit, so it's a little early to go overboard will details.
More tomorrow, thanks for reading!
