Hello everyone!

Today will feature the passage of a strong cold front in the morning hours followed by some gust NW winds. These winds will usher in much colder temps that will dominate headlines this week. Temps for Tuesday through Saturday will not get above 10 or 15 degrees.

The other story we are watching is the chance for another storm system late this week. There is a disturbance over the Pacific ocean now that will move across the US this week. This storm will join forces with another storm that is currently in Mexico. The questions in the forecast are regarding the proximity to the coast and the intensity of the low. As of now, the storm’s big impacts will be focused in Southern New England closer to the low.  At this point it is far too early to say what exact snowfall amounts may be but a light snowfall event is likely across Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont where Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut are more likely to see significant snow.

The timing surrounding this will be Thursday mid morning through Friday mid morning/early afternoon. It will be a long duration event however, snowfall rates will be lower resulting in an easier job for road crews. Beyond this storm, another snot of arctic air invades for Saturday followed by a warm up (20’s) and the possibility for more snow Sunday.
