There’s that turnaround we were looking for. Stumbling from 50s yesterday, we only managed upper 30s and low 40s. Far cry from arctic, however…and that seems to be the theme for foreseeable future.
We remain in a poorly steered, highly variable upper-level flow. Wha? Plainly put, temps will continue to see-saw and storms will pester (but not slam) us. Another weak weather system will arrive tomorrow night, and other than some brief, light mix across Central Mass, I’m seeing this as another rain event. What’s unique about this setup is that tomorrow’s east wind may produce a little light ocean-effect snow flurries along the coast. No accumulation, but something that might get your attention.
Cold air will remain entrenched in New England Friday night. With warmer air trying to move in, it means a wintry mix is in store for some in the very late night hours. Take care traveling toward midnight.
By Saturday morning, most levels of the atmosphere will have warmed to insure liquid precipitation (rain). The day isn’t entirely washed out, however. Wettest weather will be after lunch.
Early next week, a storm may be brewing…or is it? I’m seeing this as a low-confidence all-or-nothing event that may be unfolding on Tuesday. Again, our cold is marginal for snow, but if this storm gets cranking, it may produce its own cold. Something to watch, but not enough to push the button just yet.
