Cooler air aloft will help kick off showers across New England today and then maybe some more rain on Saturday.
Today: Limited sunshine, chance of showers, especially across the interior of New England, highs in thd 50s south, upper 40s north.
Tonight: Partly cloudy, maybe a rain or snow shower north, lows in the upper 30s and low 40s south, low 30s north.
Tomorrow: Partly sunny, slight chance of a shower north, highs in the upper 60s south, around 60 north.
Tomorrow night: Partly to mostly cloudy, in the upper 40s to near 50 south, 30s north.
Saturday: Mostly cloudy, chance of a showers and maybe an isolated thunderstorm, highs in the low 60s both north and south.
Discussion:
After the cold front moved through yesterday, we are left with a cold pool of air over our heads. This will lead to some instability today as any sun we see during the first half of the day will heat up the surface and that warm air will quickly lift into that colder air. Remember, warm air rises. This will create more clouds and tap into the remaining moisture in the lower levels of the atmosphere to create rain showers. I wouldn't be surprised if there are a few snow showers across the higher elevations of New England today either. This includes tonight, where I think surface temperatures may get cool enough for snow to reach down into the valleys of Northern New England.
The cooler air will dissipate tomorrow, though a few isolated showers may still be possible across Northern NE. It will be much warmer tomorrow as well thanks to a change in wind direction at the surface, from northwesterly to a west or southwest wind.
Saturday remains a bit of a tricky forecast. There will be a low pressure system passing to the south of New England. It looks like it gets close enough to trigger scattered showers across the region, particularly Saturday afternoon. For now, I've gone heavy on the cloudiness. If we get more sunshine than I expect currently, it will be warmer and I think our chance of showers and thunderstorms will increase with the more sunshine we get. The more heating we have, the more unstable the atmosphere will be.
Beyond Saturday, condition looks dry with seasonable temperatures until late next week. Temperatures in the 60s to low 70s, slightly cooler in Northern NE with a good amount of sunshine.

Quiet through Saturday
High pressure is in position for next couple of days then a quick shot of rain overnight on Saturday.
Today: Plenty of sunshine, highs in the low 60s south, 50s north.
Tonight: Clear, lows in the 30s south, teens and 20s north.
Tomorrow: Mainly sunny, a bit cooler, highs 45-50 south, low 40s north.
Tomorrow night: A few clouds late, lows in the 30s south, teens north.
Saturday: Some early sunshine, then increasing clouds, rain should hold off until the evening or overnight hours, highs in the mid and upper 40s for both north and south.
Discussion:
We have high pressure in control and this will remain the case into the day on Saturday. Not too much to be concerned with until then. Today will be the nicest of the next 3 with a good amount of sun and mild temperatures. Cooler air will start to build in tonight and this will hold temperatures down for Friday and Saturday. Also, I expect a sea breeze to develop tomorrow, which will keep coastal locations even cooler.
Our next unsettled weather maker will arrive late in the day on Saturday. A low pressure system will race through the Great Lakes, passing to the north and west of New England. This should bring a round of moderate to possibly heavy rain on Saturday night into early Sunday. There maybe a few thunderstorms embedded in the heavier downpours. Fortunately it looks like this system is moving pretty quickly, so we might get some sun before the day is done on Sunday.
Looking out to next week, I'm not encouraged. It looks damp and cool, but that is usually what we have to deal with here in New England. Time will tell.

Back to reality
After a nearly perfect weekend, we are heading back to a more New England like spring.
Today: Some sun early then increasing clouds, highs in the low to mid 60s south, 50s north.
Tonight: Occasional rain, especially south, lows near 40 south, near 30 north.
Tomorrow: Periods of rain, heavy at times, temperatures remaining nearly steady south, near 40, climbing into the mid 30s north.
Tomorrow night: Rain comes to an end, partial clearing, temperatures remain steady overnight.
Thursday: Partly sunny, warmer, highs in the mid and upper 50s south, low to mid 50s north.
Discussion:
Well, I hope everyone enjoyed the weather we had over the weekend and yesterday. Conditions will be going downhill today and tonight leading to a raw, rainy day tomorrow. We should stay mostly dry today thanks to a large pool of dry air overhead. This will eat up any precipitation that tries to move into New England today. As the storm system gets closer and more moisture moves in aloft, it will start precipitating here in New England. I think that areas north of Concord, NH will stay dry until the daylight hours tomorrow, putting Southern New England under the gun for precipitation tonight. I won't rule out a few rumbles of thunder, especially south of the Mass. Pike overnight. The heaviest of the rain should fall during the day tomorrow and looks to be in Southern New England. Our winds will contain an easterly component, so it will be a raw day, temperatures holding steady throughout the day for the most part.
As the storm pulls away on Wednesday night and the skies start to clear, it might actually warm up a few degrees overnight. Once the easterly wind settles down, the actually atmosphere will allow for warmer temperatures to develop. This will lead to a pleasant day on Thursday with a decent amount of sunshine and mild temps. Beyond Thursday, it looks like our weather will stay quiet until late Saturday or Saturday night when another low pressure system arrives. Sunday looks to be a washout at this point, so we might be able to salvage about half of a weekend.

Active in the east, but quiet here
We are going to luck out here over the next few days, despite an active weather pattern, conditions in New England should be mainly dry.
Today: Sunny this morning then some clouds in the afternoon, especially south, highs 50-55 south, in the low 40s north.
Tonight: Chance of a few showers south, otherwise partly cloudy, lows in low 30s south, teens north.
Tomorrow: Partly to mostly sunny, highs in the upper 40s south, low 40s north.
Tomorrow night: Mainly clear, lows 30-35 south, lows in the low 20s.
Friday: Mix of clouds and sun, highs near 50 south, upper 40s north.
Discussion:
So we're going to experience a few close calls over the next few days, but most of the region will be spared. There is a weak low pressure system racing through the Great Lakes this morning. Looking at the radar and the current motion of the system, it looks like this will pass to the south of New England. Locations along the south coast may deal with some rain drops this evening into the early overnight, but nothing substantial.
Tomorrow should be a pleasant day, though a few degrees cooler. The lack of a dominant westerly wind will allow for a seabreeze to develop that will keep the majority of New England a bit on the cool side. This will develop because high pressure is taking hold of the region and our winds will be light. This high pressure system will come in handy on Friday.
As I have mentioned over the last couple of days, I was concerned about a storm on Friday. The development of this high pressure system is going to keep this at bay now. It will be forced south of New England and our weather again, aside from some clouds, will be quiet.
As we look into the weekend, I'm shading toward the optimistic right now. Saturday looks like there won't be any problems, but the question mark is on Sunday. Regardless, Sunday is going to the warmer of the two days, but it could also come with some rain. For now, I'm not going to mention rain as I think the storm will hold off until Monday morning, or pass to our north. One model tries to bring precipitation in for Sunday afternoon, but this model hasn't been all that reliable recently.

Forecast time!
Ok, I've put this storm behind me, now it's time to look forward to warm, yet still stormy weather.
Today: On and off rain and snow showers, limited additional accumulations to the north, highs in the upper 30s and low 40s south, 30s north.
Tonight: Any precipitation ends, becoming partly cloudy, lows in the low 30s south, 20s north.
Tomorrow: Partly sunny, warmer, highs near 50 south, 40s north.
Tomorrow night: Partly cloudy, lows in the 30s south, 20s north.
Sunday: Mostly sunny, pleasant, highs near 50 south, 40-45 north.
Discussion:
For the rest of the day, the biggest thing we will have to worry about is snow falling off the trees and power lines. Additional accumulations will be light as temperartures are generally above freezing in most locations. Tonight, be on the alert for slippery spots on untreated surfaces, I would imagine there is going to be some black ice developing.
High pressure will start building in tonight and this will make for a beautiful weekend. All the snow across Southern New England should be gone by Sunday afternoon, lingering a bit longer in Central and Northern New England. Temperatures will be a bit above normal under a good amount of sunshine.
Our next system will arrive Monday night into Tuesday. A very strong low pressure system will make it's way across the United States. I think we will see a major severe weather outbreak across the Ohio and Mississippi Valleys on Monday afternoon into Monday night. Probably a significant tornado outbreak.
Southerly winds will pick up on Monday, pushing our temperatures up as a warm front swings through. Along with the warm front we will have some rain, maybe a few snowflakes across the higher elevations of Northern New England. Generally a rain event however. This storm will swing a strong cold front through the region on Tuesday afternoon. Not sure how much energy will be left with this front, but more showers and maybe a few rumbles of thunder can't be ruled out. Conditions after the early week storm will quiet down for a few days with near normal temperatures. Then it looks like a late week, early weekend storm of yet undetermined precipitation type and magnitude.

Quiet today...
Cloudy but seasonable for today, another storm system on horizon for tomorrow.
Today: Mostly cloudy, highs in the mid and upper 40s south, upper 30s and low 40s north.
Tonight: Mostly cloudy, lows in the upper 20s south, teens north.
Tomorrow: Cloudy, chance of rain or snow showers south late in the afternoon, highs 35-40 south, low 30s north.
Tomorrow night: Rain and snow likely south, chance of snow showers north, lows in the upper 20s.
Thursday: Rain and snow continues south, chance of snow showers north, highs near 40 south, mid 30s north.
Discussion:
Model discrepancies are abound this morning with the storm system scheduled to arrive on Wednesday night. This makes it very difficult to give a forecast with any amount of confidence. For today, we should be dry with seasonable temperatures despite the lack of any sunstained sunshine. Meanwhile a large low pressure system is gathering in the Upper Midwest. This is going to be a significant winter storm for this region, winter storm warning and blizzard warnings are in place in the Dakotas this morning.
This system will be progressive and will push eastward today and tomorrow. As it crosses the Great Lakes and the subsequent path is where the forecast models start to differ. There is one model that brings heavy amounts of liquids to all of New England, this is a more northerly track. A few other models seem to prefer a more southerly track, which would restrict the precipitation to Southern New England. I'm hedging toward the consensus right now, but I'm leaving the mention in the forecast for northern sections for now, in case the track looks like it will be further to the north. Snowfall amounts are going to heavily depend on the track of the system. Right now it appears Southern MA(not Southeastern MA), Northern CT and RI are going to have the best chance for a plowable accumulation. Temperatures during the day on Thursday will get above freezing, so this will keep amounts down a bit.
I'm going to keep an eye on this today and probably write up another update this afternoon after I've seen the morning model runs and see what is happening off to our west.

Where's Spring?
The title should say it all, I really don't have any good news for the next or so.
Tonight: Any remaining snow and rain ending this evening, lows 30-35 south, 20s north.
Tomorrow: Mostly cloudy, a few breaks of sun at times, highs in the mid and upper 40s south, around 40 north.
Tomorrow night: Clouds thicken again, lows 25-30 south, teens north.
Wednesday: Cloudy, snow possible late in the afternoon, mixed with rain along the coast, highs 38-43 south, 30s north.
Wednesday night into Thursday: Snow likely, especially across Southern New England, accumulations likely.
Discussion:
I'll have a more detailed discussion tomorrow morning but for now a quick hit at what is coming mid-week and a brief glance at the rest of the month.
Wednesday we will be affected by another low pressure system. This will be passing to the south of New England. Where the precipitation will set up is the question. Right now it looks like Southern New England will be impacted the most Wednesday night into Thursday. A plowable snow is looking quite likely at this point.
Beyond this storm, temperatures are going to remain chilly, but dry for the most part. It looks like we stay under an upper level trough for at least another week. This will keep the cold air locked in over the Northeast. The strong sun will help a bit, but we will be starting cold each morning limiting how warm we will get during the day.
Thanks for reading, check back in tomorrow morning for more.

Winter on the first day of spring
Spring begins on Monday. As it begins, we'll see some rain, snow and sleet in New England.
Today: Bright sunshine, highs in the mid and upper 40s south, near 40 north.
Tonight: Increasing clouds, lows in the mid and upper 20s south, teens north.
Tomorrow: Snow to start, changing to rain in part of Southern New England(details below), highs in the mid and upper 30s south, upper 20s and low 30s north.
Tomorrow night: Leftover rain and snow comes to an end, lows in the low 30s south, mid 20s north.
Tuesday: Mainly cloudy, highs in the low 40s south, 30s north.
Discussion:
High pressure is still in control of the region for today, this will provide lots of sunshine and temperatures a few degress above normal. A low pressure system will start to move in tonight, with the precipitation holding off until after the sun comes up tomorrow. Most places, except maybe extreme southwestern New England will start with snow. Gradually the rain/snow line will move toward the north and east, making it as far as Central New England, somewhere near Manchester, NH by late afternoon. There will likely be a few spots that have a period of sleet in the morning to add to the fun. Fortunately, there won't be too much accumulation on Monday. Northern New England will have the best chance of accumulating snow with 1-2 inches possible, generally less than an inch everywhere else.
This low pressure system will move out of the region on Monday night. Our sky will remain cloudy for the most part on Tuesday as we will only have a brief break before another storm system arrives on Wednesday. This storm looks a little more potent and there again will be cold air around for some wintry precipitation. Exactly what we will see remains to be seen, but right now I think it will be a bit colder than Monday's storm so I expect to see more in the way of accumulating snow. More on this storm over the next couple of days.
Beyond Wednesday, it looks like our weather will be generally be dry, but below normal temperatures. A large upper level trough will set up over New England, locking cold air over the Northeastern US.

Mild today, cooler for the weekend
Enjoy the beautiful weather we are having today as cooler conditions are on their way for this weekend.
Today: Partly to mostly sunny, windy at times, highs mid and upper 60s south, 50s north.
Tonight: Partly cloudy, breezy, lows in the upper 20s and low 30s south, teens and low 20s north.
Tomorrow: A few clouds in the morning then sunshine, breezy, highs in the low 40s south, mid 30s north.
Tomorrow night: Clear, chilly, lows in the low to mid 20s south, single digits and teens north.
Sunday: Lots of sunshine, highs in the 40s south, upper 30s north.
Discussion:
The front that is passing through New England today barely has any clouds associated with it, let alone precipitation. Behind this front and a secondary front is much cooler air and the winds that will pick up in speed today will be ushering this cooler air in. We will probably hit our daytime highs pretty early today and then temperatures will remain steady or slowly drop off late in the afternoon. Once the secondary front passes through tonight and early tomorrow morning high pressure will build in. This will supply a good deal of sunshine for this weekend. The bright sunshine should help to offset some of the cooler air in the region, during the daylight hours at least.
Dry weather will persist through the daylight hours on Monday. Our next storm system looks to be scheduled to arrive on Monday night or Tuesday morning. As it stands right now, looks like mainly a rain make for most of New England, though I do expect some wintry precipitation across northern sections. Time will tell to see when the storm arrives and how far south that wintry precipitation makes it.
Beyond early next week, it should be relatively dry, but remaining cool. I don't see another stretch of days like we had yesterday and today for the next week and a half unfortunately.
That's all for now, thanks for reading!

Beyond early next week, it should be relatively dry, but remaining cool. I don't see another stretch of days like we had yesterday and today for the next week and a half unfortunately.
That's all for now, thanks for reading!

Beautiful St. Patty's Day
We are in between low pressure systems today, warmth expected through tomorrow before cooling off for the upcoming weekend.
Today: Lots of sunshine, highs in the mid 50s south, mid and upper 40s north.
Tonight: Increasing clouds, slight chance of rain showers toward morning, lows in the 40s south, low to mid 30s north.
Tomorrow: A few morning showers possible, breaks of sunshine develops, mild, highs in the low to mid 60s south, 50s north.
Tomorrow night: Partly cloudy, lows in the upper 20s and low 30s south, teens and 20s north.
Saturday: Partly sunny, highs in the mid 40s south, upper 30s and low 40s north.
Discussion:
We are under the influence of a small area of high pressure today that is wedged in between the storm we had yesterday and a system that will race to our north tomorrow. Southwesterly winds and bring sunshine will push temperatures to above normal levels for today and this will continue tomorrow. As the high pressure system shifts off shore tonight, a fast moving area of low pressure will slide by to our north during the first half of the day tomorrow. This will swing a weak front through the region. There doesn't appear to be very much moisture associated with the front in the forecast models, so only low chances of rain showers early on Friday morning. Once the front passes through, we should see some breaks in the clouds develop. With this sunshine, temperatures should get even warmer on Friday than we will see today.
Friday will be the end of the above normal temperatures for a few day unfortunately. A secondary front will push through on Friday night, another dry frontal passage, but will bring the chilly air back. Daytime highs over the weekend will be back to normal, 30s and 40s across New England. Conditions should remain dry through the weekend, with our next storm potentially arrive on Tuesday. This storm could be interesting depending on how much cold air it can tap into from Eastern Canada. It looks like some places may see some snow out of this storm, particularly in Northern New England. Timing and path of the storm will also play a role in who sees what.
So enjoy the warmth we will have today and tomorrow, this should go a long way to helping get rid of the remaining snow cover in Southern and Central New England.

Unsettled this morning
As advertised yesterday, there is a bit of wintry precipitation around this morning. Milder air returns tomorrow.
Today: Any mixed precipitation south of Concord, NH changes to rain by 11 AM, snow/sleet mix continues north into the early afternoon. Rain/mix should taper off by mid afternoon. Highs in the low to mid 40s south, mid and upper 30s north.
Tonight: Decreasing clouds, lows in the mid 20s north, low to mid 30s south.
Tomorrow: Bright sunshine, warm, highs 55-60 south(cooler along the coast), upper 40s to low 50s north.
Tomorrow night: Becoming partly to mostly cloudy, lows upper 30s to low 40s south, 30s north.
Friday: Chance of a rain shower, mainly in the morning, highs in the low to mid 60s south, 50s north.
Discussion:
A few changes, rather improvements, to the forecast this morning. One, the majority of the precipitation today will be to the south which will prevent hardly any accumulating snow across Northern and Central New England. Good for most, bad for others, skiers who wanted to keep the season going. Second is the forecast for the weekend. What looked like it was going to be a messy Friday and Saturday, doesn't look as bad this morning.
So for today, a low pressure system is blasting through the region. Eventually most locations will change over to rain, a few spots north getting stuck with all snow or a snow/sleet mix. Little or no accumulation expected. Most of the precipitation will be clear by 2 PM in Southern New England, 4 PM Northern New England. Our skies will clear overnight tonight but temperatures won't plummet overnight as warm air will already be moving in overhead.
This warm up aloft will push temperatures up and up tomorrow and Friday. Thursday will be the nicest looking day where Friday will be the warmer of the two days. Friday morning there will be a weak frontal system that will push through the region that could set off a few scattered showers, mainly during the morning. After that clears we should see periods of sunshine and temperatures climbing into the 60s for Southern New England, upper 50s to the north. Eventually this frontal passage will bring a crash in our temperatures as this weekend will be much cooler. Highs should generally be in the 40s for both Saturday and Sunday and we should be relatively dry. There is a slight chance of a rain or snow shower on Saturday morning with a secondary front that will push through, helping to usher in that cold air. After that, high pressure will take over a few days, bringing plenty of sunshine. Monday will probably be the coolest days where daytime highs might be stuck in the 30s.

Quick shot of winter then mild
It wouldn't be New England weather if we didn't jump from mild to snow to mild over 3 days.
Today: Plenty of sunshine, highs near 50 south, upper 30s to mid 40s north.
Tonight: Increasing clouds, slight chance of snow showers south toward dawn, 30 to 35 south, teens to mid 20s north.
Tomorrow: Rain/snow/sleet mix through the morning, changing to rain early afternoon south, staying wintry mix north, highs in the low 40s south, 30s north. Slushy accumulations possible.
Tomorrow night: Any precipitation come to an end, decreasing clouds, lows mid 30s south, 20s north.
Thursday: Lots of sunshine, mild. Highs in the mid and upper 50s south, upper 40s to low 50s north.
Discussion:
A quiet day today ahead of quick moving yet relatively intense low pressure system that will race through tomorrow. Temperatures with plenty of sunshine will climb nicely to at or above normals for mid March. As the low pressure system gets closer tonight, clouds will start to move in late today and tonight. This will help keep surface temperatures up slightly, but still will be cold enough to allow for wintry precipitation tomorrow. It looks like the majority of the wintry mix will hold off until after the sun comes up tomorrow, though southwestern sections of New England will likely experience some snow/sleet around 5 or 6 AM. It looks like the bulk of the precipitation will fall between 8 AM and 2 PM and during that time, locations north of the MA border with VT and NH will have a temperature profile that supports snow or a wintry mix. Fortuntately, surface temperatures will already be above freezing so this will help limit the amount of accumulations. The further north you go, however, the more likely you are to see a few inches of heavy wet snow.
As the system races eastward tomorrow night, it will take the cloudiness with it and then we are in for some pleasant weather on Thursday. Lots of sunshine and mild temperatures. The winds will be light, so there might be a sea breeze that develops that keeps coastal areas from getting too warm.
Sadly, the pleasant weather will be short lived as a few disturbance will slide through New England on Friday and Saturday. Friday's event appears to be mainly a rain maker, save for a few areas in Northern New England where a wintry mix is possible early in the morning. Saturday's is a bit more tricky as there will be more cold air available at the mid levels of the atmosphere so more locations will likely experience some snow/sleet/freezing rain. Right now I expect this to be confined to Central and Northern New England. Sunday just looks cloudy but dry at this point and will probably be a bit chilly.

Cool to start the week.
I took the weekend off, back at the keyboard today. There is a weak disturbance higher up in the atmosphere that is providing cloudiness and the cooler temperatures to start the work week.
Today: Cloudy, slight chance of a rain or snow showers, highs in the upper 30s south, low to mid 30s north.
Tonight: Decreasing cloudiness, lows in 25-30 south, ranging from the single digits to the teens north.
Tomorrow: Lots of sunshine, highs low to mid 40s for all of New England.
Tomorrow night: Clouds move back in, chance of snow showers towards dawn, lows upper 20s to low 30s south, near 20 north,
Wednesday: Snow showers possible early, transitioning to rain in Southern and Central New England, staying snow north. Highs in low 40s south, mid and upper 30s north.
Discussion:
There is an upper level low pressure system that is moving through New England today that is causing all the cloudiness. It might also kick off a few rain or snow showers, nothing substantial however. As the upper level low moves to the east tonight, our skies will clear. This will allow temperatures to get much colder than they have over the last few nights. Many places will be below freezing for a first time in a couple of days. We will see lots of sunshine which will send temperatures back up tomorrow, making for a pleasant day. It will be short lived as a fast moving surface low will push into the region on Wednesday. Depending on timing of this system, there may be some snow for Southern and Central New England. As we get into the daylight hours, temperatures will climb and change the snow over to rain. Further north in Northern New England, the temperatures in the lower levels of the atmosphere will support snow. Accumulations will be light in Northern New England as the bulk of the precipitation should fall over Southern New England.
After this storm system pulls away, we will see our temperatures warm up again. Normally behind a system like this our temperatures will drop off for a few days, but not in this case. Southwesterly winds will continue and temperatures should remain mild through the end of the work week. We should be in the mid and upper 50s for Southern New England, with upper 40s and low 50s for Northern New England. There looks to be some unsettled conditions around on Friday. Should be in the form of rain right now and it most likely will be centered over Northern New England and Southern Quebec. A secondary disturbance will push in on Saturday bringing rain to just about everyone. Behind that second disturbance our temperatures will cool down for the second half of the weekend and into early next week.

Heavy rain
Heavy rain is on its way for today, followed by a quiet and mild weekend.
Today: Rain, heavy at times between 10 AM and 4 PM. Highs in the low to mid 50s south, 40s north.
Tonight: Slight chance of a rain or snow shower, becoming partly cloudy, lows near 30 south, 20s north.
Tomorrow: Partial sunshine, slight chance of a snow shower in the morning, highs low to mid 50s south, upper 40s to near 50 north.
Tomorrow night: Partly cloudy, lows in the 30s south, 20s north.
Sunday: Mainly sunny, highs in the upper 40s south, low 40s north.
Discussion: The main area of precipitation will rotate through New England today, it is already affecting Western New England. It won't be long before Eastern Southern New England sees the steady moderate to heavy rain. There is a slight chance a few rumbles of thunder might be heard in the heavier downpours. I'm expecting rainfall amounts between 0.5" and 1.5" of rain today. Flooding still remains a concern, but this threat should be isolated as we shouldn't see widespread rain amounts over 1".
Once the rain moves out later today our skies should clear a bit overnight. There is still a slight chance of a stray shower or snow shower overnight, especially in central and northern New England. Temperatures will drop off to near or below freezing tonight. Behind this low pressure system we won't see a significant drop off in temperatures. They will gradually go down through the weekend into the start of the work week.
I'll have a bit more later, including some info on the Tsunami warnings for the West Coast of North America. I'm currently watching what is happening in Hawaii right now.

Tricky forecast
The storm that currently is affecting parts of New England has been tricky to figure out as it has changed again, probably for the better.
Today: Rain/snow showers possible, rain south, snow north. Looks like any snow won't last long or be as heavy, 1-3 inches possible in far northern New England. Highs near 40 south, mid 30s north.
Tonight: Rain at times south, changing from snow to rain north. Temperatures rising a few degrees overnight.
Tomorrow: Periods of rain, maybe a few rumbles of thunder in the afternoon, highs in mid 50s south, upper 40s to near 50 north.
Tomorrow night: Rain ends, maybe mixing with snow north, lows in the mid and upper 30s south, upper 20s to near 30 north.
Saturday: Mostly cloudy, slight chance of a snow shower in the morning, then slight chance of rain showers in the afternoon. Highs in the upper 40s to low 50s south, in the 40s north.
Discussion:
Looking at the radar this morning, you would think that it should be precipitating everywhere. However, this is not the case as there is a lot of dry air aloft that is evaporating the precipitation before it reaches the ground. Eventually the dry layer aloft will become moist, allowing that precipitation to reach the ground. This will happen when the second wave of precipitation arrives late today and tonight. By this time, all of southern New England will be warm enough to support rain. The transition to all rain may hold off until around sunrise on Friday morning for Northern New England, particularly Northern New Hampshire and Maine.
I expect the rain to be more scattered and showery in nature tonight and tomorrow morning with steadier rain moving in on Friday afternoon as the cold front pushes through the region. I wouldn't be surprised to see a few lightning strikes and hear a few rumbles of thunder in some of the heavier rain. There are going to be a few spots that pick up over an inch of rain in a short period of time, but this looks pretty isolated. The isolated nature of the heavier rain should reduce the flooding threat slightly. However, all the rivers and streams of New England and still swollen, so any additional rain will only make matters worse. So once again, be ready for some flooding late on Friday into Saturday.
Looking into this weekend, conditions should be generally dry, save for a few scattered showers on Saturday. Temperatures will drop off late in the weekend as colder air moves in behind the storm system currently closing in on the region. Don't worry though, the chill won't be frigid and won't last long. Our winds will change around to a more southerly direction early next week and then the warm up will begin again. By the end of next week I expect it to be very mild here in New England.
I'll update as necessary today, thanks for reading!

Another messy storm coming...
Another slow moving low pressure system will affect New England for an extended period of time over the next few days.
Today: Increasing clouds, cooler than yesterday, highs in the mid and upper 30s south, low 30s north.
Tonight: Snow develops in Western Northern New England, slight chance of snow in Southern New England, otherwise cloudy, lows upper 20s to near 30 south, teens and low 20s north. 2-4 inches possible in North Central VT.
Tomorrow: Chance of a rain/snow mix in Southern New England, snow possible in Central and Northern New England. Accumulations of 4-8 inches in VT and Northern NH. Highs low 40s south, 30s north.
Tomorrow night: Steadier precipitation develops, rain south, staying snow north of Laconia, NH, lows in the mid and upper 30s south, upper 20s to low 30s north. Additional light accumulations possible.
Friday: Rain, heavy at times, places that were snow should change over to rain. Highs 50s south, 40s north.
Discussion:
Clouds are already making their way into New England today ahead of a low pressure system that will affect our weather for Thursday through Friday night. This center of the low pressure system will dive down to West Virginia tomorrow morning and then start moving into the Eastern Great Lakes. This motion will keep the majority of the preciptation away from New England until Thursday night. However, the leading edge of the rain and snow will begin to affect Western New England, particularly VT starting tonight and continuing tomorrow. Eastern New England won't really see much precipitation until Thursday night as the system won't be making an eastward push until then.
There will be some significant snow occurring in parts of the region, I've tried to highlight this in the forecast periods above. Accumulating snow will be restricted to VT and Northern New Hampshire for the most part. As the storm gets closer on Thursday night, warmer air will begin to over run the region and by Friday mid-morning, all locations should change over to rain. Flooding will once again be a concern as the rain is expected to be heavy at times. Still some question as to where the most rain will fall, should have more info on this tomorrow. Regardless, adding another inch or so of rain to already swollen rivers and additional melting, rivers will rise again.
The low pressure system will move to the northeast on Saturday and we should see clearing skies and slightly cooler temperatures. I don't expect they will drop off too far, but highs will be back to the 30s and 40s through the weekend and into early next week. Late next week looks like it could be absolutely wonderful. High pressure builds in and we'll have a few days of southwesterly winds, 70 degrees may be a distinct possibility, time will tell.

However, the leading edge of the rain and snow will begin to affect Western New England, particularly VT starting tonight and continuing tomorrow. Eastern New England won't really see much precipitation until Thursday night as the system won't be making an eastward push until then.
There will be some significant snow occurring in parts of the region, I've tried to highlight this in the forecast periods above. Accumulating snow will be restricted to VT and Northern New Hampshire for the most part. As the storm gets closer on Thursday night, warmer air will begin to over run the region and by Friday mid-morning, all locations should change over to rain. Flooding will once again be a concern as the rain is expected to be heavy at times. Still some question as to where the most rain will fall, should have more info on this tomorrow. Regardless, adding another inch or so of rain to already swollen rivers and additional melting, rivers will rise again.
The low pressure system will move to the northeast on Saturday and we should see clearing skies and slightly cooler temperatures. I don't expect they will drop off too far, but highs will be back to the 30s and 40s through the weekend and into early next week. Late next week looks like it could be absolutely wonderful. High pressure builds in and we'll have a few days of southwesterly winds, 70 degrees may be a distinct possibility, time will tell.

Dry for now
Flood warnings remain in effect for several locations in New England as rivers are expected to crest until Wednesday or Thursday.
Today: Mainly sunny, breezy, highs upper 30s to low 40s south, in the 30s north.
Tonight: Clear, cold, lows 20s south, a wider range of lows north, teens in most spots with some place dropping below 0.
Tomorrow: Plenty of sunshine, highs in the upper 30s south, low to mid 30s north.
Tomorrow night: Increasing clouds, lows in the mid teens north, 20s south.
Thursday: Snow develops, changing to rain south, staying snow or a wintry mix north of Concord, accumulation likely. Highs around 40 south, low to mid 30s north.
Discussion: Conditions will remain quiet through today and tomorrow as high pressure is in control. Daytime highs will be seasonable, in the 30s to low 40s across the region. Tomorrow, the high pressure system will shift offshore as a low pressure system starts to move in from the Central US. This will prove to be another tricky storm, as it will bring a wide variety of precipitation to New England. Right now, the forecast models are still showing a spread in what is going to happen, but I have to make a decision and I feel fairly confident at this point. It's a bit of a change from yesterday as it looks like Northern New England may end up staying all snow or a wintry mix for the majority of this event. This will be another prolonged event, because once the low pressure system reaches the Eastern US, it will slow down. We'll see precipitation develop during the day on Thursday. Starting as snow nearly everywhere, then changing quickly over to rain in Southern New England. Central New England will hold onto snow or a wintry mix slightly longer before changing over. It looks like north of Concord, NH will stay with a wintry type of precipitation into Friday morning. By that time, it looks like nearly all of New England will have temperatures aloft warm enough to support rain. However, surface temperatures may be cool enough to cause sleet or freezing rain. Again, it looks like Northern New England will take the brunt of this receiving a plowable snow and possibly ice accretion.
This will be somewhat of a two phase storm, what we see on Thursday and Thursday night, followed by a break and then another round of what SHOULD be rain for nearly everyone, with a few pockets of a wintry mix. We may have to worry about flooding again this weekend, depending on where the heaviest rain falls. Right now most of the models are showing the heaviest rain in the Hudson Valley of NY, but I expect this to waver over the next few days.
Further out, it looks like the weekend will be cold and generally quiet, though a few flurries can't be ruled out at this point. So still no spring warmth in the next 5 to 7 days and beyond that doesn't look all that promising either....trust me, I'm as ready for Spring as you are.

Storm ending, flooding still a concern
Even though the storm is pulling away, flooding will remain possible into Wednesday.
If you are interested in seeing snow totals so far, click here, its an interactive map that will let you move around and zoom in and out. The amounts are impressive, especially in Upstate NY.
Also, if you want to see current river levels and forecasts, click here for Southern New England and here for Central and Northern New England. You could click on the map to view the rivers levels and forecasts.
Flood Watches and Warnings are currently in effect for several locations in Southern New England. Winter Storm Warnings continue into the middle of day.
Today: Rain/snow/sleet comes to an end. Temperatures remain steady or dropping slowing through the day. Highs mid 20s north, mid 30s south.
Tonight: Decreasing clouds, cold, lows near 0 north, teens to low 20s south.
Tomorrow: Lots of sunshine, highs in the low to mid 40s south, upper 20s to low 30s north.
Wednesday: Mostly sunny, highs upper 30s south, upper 20s to near 30 north.
Discussion:
The low pressure system that brought all the unsettled weather last night is continuing to affect New England, particularly in Central and Northern New England. Snow and sleet is still falling in VT, NH and Maine. The precipitation will hang on the longest in Maine, coming to an end late this afternoon. Look for the snow to taper off in VT by Noon and mid afternoon in NH. Additional accumulations are expected on the order of 3-6 inches in VT and NH, with another 6-10 inches in Maine with isolated higher amounts.
If you checked out the link above related to river forecasts, you would have seen that the flooding threat will continue into Wednesday. It wasn't just the rain last night that is the main cause of flooding, it will be the runoff from melting snow that is still making it's way into the rivers of New England. This is a slower process. What the rain did do, is raise the river levels slightly and then when you add the runoff, the river levels are expected to shoot up higher. So if you live near a river, keep a close eye on it and prepare as best you can. Chances are, you've dealt with this before and know how to prepare.
As the storm pulls away tonight, the cloudiness will go with it and our skies will clear. This will allow temperatures to fall off even more as well. Places that received new snowfall will see the coldest overnight readings, some places getting down to near 0. High pressure will start to build in tomorrow and will keep our weather quiet into the day on Thursday. Temperatures will be a bit cooler during the middle of the week, then gradually warm up again.
The warm up begins ahead of another low pressure system that should pass off to our west late in the week. This looks like it will be rain for nearly everyone this time, but this could obviously could change. I'll have to keep an eye on this, but the storm we are currently getting looked like rain for everyone at first as well, that definitely wasn't the case.
That's all for now. Post any questions you might have below in the comments section, I'll answer as I have time today. Thanks for reading!

Rain and snow cometh
An extreme moist storm system is already affecting New England and will continue to into the day on Monday.
Flood watch in effect for Southern New England. Winter Storm Warning for Northern VT and Northern NH and into most of Maine.
Today: Rain, heavy at times. Transitioning to snow north later in the afternoon north. Highs in the 50s south, 40s north with temperatures falling throughout the day.
Tonight: Rain continues, heavy at times, snow pushes further south across Northern New England. Accumulations of 6-12 inches overnight. Lows in the 20s north, 40s south.
Tomorrow: Rain and snow comes to an end in the afternoon. Daytime highs will occur in the morning with temperatures falling or holding steady through the day, 40s south, upper 20s to low 30s north. Total accumulations of 20-30 inches, see image below.
Tuesday: Mostly sunny, cooler, highs upper 30s to near 40 south, 20s and 30s north.
Discussion: A large and complex low pressure system is approaching the region. This will bring heavy rain and heavy snow later today and tonight. It is already raining in some places, particularly in Central and Northern New England. The rain will overspread all areas this afternoon and become heavy at times. The center of the low pressure system will essentially pass directly over New England tomorrow and it get closer, colder air will start moving in. This will change over the precipitation to a wintry mix and then to all snow. This will start in northwestern New England first and then push southeastward. Eventually the snow spread all the way down into Southern VT, Western MA and Southwestern NH. There is going to be significant accumulations with this storm in Northern and Central New England, as much as 20 to 30 inches. There is so much moisture available and with the cold air coming in, its going to create a lot of heavy, wet snow. I'll include a forecast snow total image below, pulled directly from a forecast model. Unfortunately the complexity of the forecasted amounts is too difficult to depict using MS Paint.
Total liquid equivalent amounts will range from 1.5 to 4 inches. That is a lot of water and as a result, flood watches are in effect for places that are going to see strictly rain, Southern New England. Low lying areas and where there is poor drainage, I expect to see some flooding. Also, some of the smaller streams and rivers might spill their banks. The worst of the flooding will likely occur on Monday.
Beyond tomorrow, conditions will quiet down for a few days with seasonable temperatures. Our next storm system will affect the region late in the week and looks like mainly a rain event right now.

Here comes the "warmth"
A chilly start this morning, just a quick check shows a few places that got down to -20. However, the warm air is already making its push in as those places have already climbed above 0 degrees. That's quite a swing in a just few hours.
Anyway, high pressure will stay in control today as it slides offshore. This will turn our winds around to the southwest, helping to usher in the warmer air. Temperatures will moderate nicely today, getting close to 30 in Northern and Central New England, climbing well into the 30s in Southern New England. Look for plenty of sunshine for most of the day with a few high clouds moving in throughout the day.
This weekend will prove to be interesting. A large, complex low pressure system is organizing in the Central United States. This will tap into moisture from the Gulf of Mexico to bring quite a bit of rain to the Ohio Valley, Upstate NY and New England. Flood watches have already been posted for some spots in Ohio, PA and Western NY and I would imagine more watches will be issued today for Central NY into the Adirondacks and Mohawk Valley of NY.
This storm system will be moving very slowly as the upper level winds will be nearly parallel to the surface front. This means there won't be much west to east push of the storm system. It won't be until Sunday that a piece of energy moves out of Western Canada that will give this storm system a push to move it into New England. So, given the slow movement, New England should stay generally dry until later in the day on Sunday. We should have a decent amount of sunshine on Saturday, which should kick temperatures well into the 40s for most locations, wouldn't be surprised to see a few spots in Southern New England reach 50 degrees.
Temperatures on Sunday should be a bit warmer, especially if we see a few hours of sunshine. That will be the big question, how much sun will we see, as that storm will be on our door step. Regardless, Southern New England should easily widespread 50s and 40s elsewhere. If we see more sun that I currently expect, 60s may be possible for SNE. The rain should hold off until the late afternoon, maybe even until after the sun goes down. The location of where the heaviest rain will fall still remains a mystery. This morning it appears that the heaviest will fall in Central and Northern New England. Forecast rainfall totals still look impressive with a large area of 2+ inches of rain. This combined with the amount of liquid remaining in the snow pack will keep flooding possibilities high. Smaller rivers and streams are at the highest risk because they are likely frozen right now and as the ice breaks up, ice dams may develop.
The majority of the precipitation should fall during the day on Monday, with the possibility of some mixing in Northern New England as the cold air starts to make a return. Southern and Central New England should see strictly rain from this system.
Beyond Monday we will see temperatures return to seasonable levels, with another warm up throughout the week and another rain event next Friday.
I'll have more throughout the weekend on this storm and the potential for flooding.
