Storms on the horizon?

Our weather could be taking are more "wintry" turn in the near future.  Until then however, we will continue with the warmer temperatures and lack of significant snowfall.

Tonight:  Partly cloudy, mild.  Lows in the 30s to near 40s south, upper 20s to low 30s north.

Tomorrow:  Occasional sun early then chance of showers in the afternoon, mild.  Highs in the upper 40s and low 50s south, 40s north.

Tomorrow night:  Mainly cloudy, breezy, lows near 30 south, 20s north.

Thursday:  Partly to mostly sunny, breezy, highs 35-40 south, near 30 north.

Friday:  Partly sunny, highs in the 30s south, 20s north.

Discussion:

We had a warm front pass through New England this morning.  That was responsible for the snow showers and flurries that dropped a coating to an inch of snow in some spots.  This warm front is ushering in some warmer air that will arrive in full force tomorrow.  Sadly the warm air will not hang around for more than 12 hours or so before temperatures come back down to a more normal level.

Over the next couple of days, we really don't have too much to worry about.  There is still the slightest chance of some snow showers overnight Thursday into Friday morning.  Currently it looks like this system will slide just to the south of New England, not causing any problems.

The larger concern is the storm that could potentially hit New England on Sunday night.  It is still early, but conditions look to be setting up nicely for an impactful storm in the Northeast.  Much could change over the coming days, but it is winter and this is New England.  We are bound to get at least one snowstorm in the coming weeks.

Thanks for reading and tell your friends!

Mild(er) for now

We had a beautiful day across New England today and this will into tomorrow and the first half of Thursday.

Tonight:  Mainly clear, areas of black ice, lows in the upper 20s to low 30s.

Tomorrow:  Partly sunny, highs in the upper 30s to near 40 south, upper 20s to near 30 north.

Tomorrow night:  Partly cloudy, more clouds move in late, lows in the upper 20s to near 30 south, teens and lower 20s north.

Thursday:  Clouds increasing, wintry mix develops late, highs in the low to mid 30s south, upper 20s north.

Friday:  Rain likely, especially in the morning, rain/snow mix far north.  Highs in the mid and upper 30s south, low to mid 30s north.

Our next troublemaker of a storm system will arrive on Thursday night.  Temperatures will be cool enough for most areas to start out with some snow or sleet, followed by a changeover to freezing rain for a period of time overnight Thursday night.  A decent surge of warmer air should win out Friday morning and temperatures will climb up above freezing for much of New England, save for far northern sections.  Not expecting much in the way of accumulation from the wintry precipitation, but a slushy inch or so is possible south with 2-4 inches possible north.

More to come...thanks for reading

I'm sort of back!

We have some heavy rain headed our direction for this afternoon and tonight.  Here are a few images that I was able to grab.  I don't have a lot of time, so I'm telling my story in pictures.  After the rain event tonight, temperatures will remain above normal through much of the rest of the week with another chance of unsettled weather coming late in the week and into the weekend.






Images came from TruVu Max.

Hopefully I'll be able to continue my come back.  Stay tuned!
