Winter isn't over....yet....

Nothing but good news for today and tomorrow, but some "messiness" is coming early next week.

Mild temperatures will continue for today and tomorrow before taking a tumble this weekend.  We will see a mix of sun and clouds today as high pressure is still somewhat in control of the region.  A low pressure system is getting closer which will bring in the extra cloudiness.  Temperatures should top off in the low 50s across Southern New England and in the 40s for Central and Northern New England.

The low pressure system will be on our doorstep tomorrow, but we should make it through the day before the cold front pushes through.  Temperatures will once again be mild with limited sunshine, generally in the 50s.  There could be a few scattered showers ahead of the cold front, though moisture will be hard to come by.  The best chance of any rain showers will be with the cold front as it moves through in the evening, with most of the activity located over Northern New England. 

Unfortunately, this cold front will bring cold air back to New England this weekend.  The coldest of the air won't arrive until Sunday.  Temperatures on Saturday will probably still be in the 40s for Southern New England, 30s elsewhere.  I wouldn't be too suprised to see a few flurries or rain showers in spots as well.  Look for lots of sun until about mid morning and then mainly cloudy for the remainder of the day.  Sunday will be a similar day, with a touch more sunshine, but cooler temperatures.  Highs ranging from the 20s to the north and 30s in southern areas.

The next feature to be concerned with, comes on Monday.  The timing of this has changed.  2 days ago, this looked like an issue for Tuesday, now the models are showing it moving much faster and also starting to lean toward a slightly colder solution.  The intensity of the system remains in question as well.  I'm not going to go into too much detail right now, but on Monday we should at least see a period of wintry precipitation.  My gut feeling is that the precipitation will change over to rain for a time in Southern New England, probably remaining all snow north of Concord, NH.  Much depends on the track of the storm making it difficult to pinpoint anything at this time.  More to come on this storm.

Beyond next Monday, we should be dry and cool until the end of the workweek, then it looks like another system for Saturday.
