Heavy rain this morning, break this afternoon

Hello everyone!

Today will feature heavy rain/freezing rain/sleet/snow in the morning tapering off this afternoon. Don’t get too excited though, mother nature comes back to bite with more precip this evening through tomorrow night.

The forecast looks good as I sample data from around the region this morning. It is thumping snow in the mountains and in the northern part of the state. 5″ has been reported at Sugarloaf Mountain for those lucky enough to be on the slopes today.

Cold air will drain south today at the surface which could cause some to go over to freezing rain. This freezing rain/rain line will creep southward as the day goes on. When precip redevelops tonight, the freezing rain will make it all the way to the coast.

Tomorrow morning, the late march sun will warm things up despite its lack of visual appearance resulting in the coast and inland areas going back to plain rain. The mountains will continue to stay all snow.

Precip continues through the day on Monday ending as snow for all Monday night. A coating is possible at best for the coast and adjacent inland areas. Precip comes to an end Tuesday morning between 3 and 6.

We have a lovely week ahead of us with mainly sunny conditions and warm temps in the 40’s. Tuesday will feature the passage of a front which will bring some extra clouds and the chance for a shower.

I know nobody wants to hear this, but another coastal storm looks to affect the region next weekend with more rain and mountain snow. As they say, April showers bring May flowers.
