Not looking good....

Do your best to enjoy the next few days because its not going to be pretty later this week.

Today:  Sunny and breezy, highs in the mid 40s south, 35-40 north.  Brush fires are a significant threat today.

Tonight:  Clear, lows in the upper 20s south, 15-20 north.

Tomorrow:  Mostly sunny, highs 45-50 south, near 40 north.

Tomorrow night:  Becoming partly cloudy, lows near 30 south, teens north.

Thursday:  Some sun early then becoming mostly cloudy, highs in the mid 40s south, 30s north.

Discussion: 
So our weather will remain quiet here through the daylight hours on Thursday, then it will get out of control.  High pressure will continue to dominate the region, providing lots of sunshine and continued slow warm up.  The dry weather combined with the winds is making for dangerous fire weather conditions.  It would be a good idea to not start any fires outdoors today or tomorrow.  Breezy weather, low dewpoints and the recent dry spell has created a ticking timebomb for wild fires here in New England.

Now onto Friday's storm.  The forecast models are starting to come into an agreement and unfortunately it's not what the majority of us want to see.  The large upper level trough that has been sitting over the Eastern United States will start to sharpen.  It has been a broad trough and this set up has been pushing storms to our south.  When it starts to sharpen, the storm path will set up along the Eastern Seaboard.  This all points to an early spring Nor'easter here in New England.  Unfortunately, there will be cold air available for this storm to tap into as well.  When this storm arrives will play a big role in precipitation type.  At this point it looks like the majority of the precipitation will fall during the daylight hours of Friday.  This should help to keep some areas free of snowfall, however, across the interior of New England, there is a chance of a plowable snowfall.  It will definitely accumulate on grassy surfaces first and depending on the intensity, slush accumulations on roadways are possible as well.

Details to come as small shifts in the forecast track will make a big difference with this storm.  Stay tuned.

Thanks for reading!
