Today will feature increasing clouds in advance of our next storm system approaching from the west. Expect sun this morning with clouds rolling in during the lunchtime hours. Highs today will range from the low 20’s up north to near 30 in the south. Snow should wait until the late evening hours before moving into Maine though SW NH could see flakes as early as 3 or 4 this afternoon.
Here is my thinking as to snow accumulations for this event. Watch out for a little ice in southern areas as above freezing air moves in aloft but the deep snowpack keeps the cold locked in at the surface. Warm air does look to move in at the surface down in the Boston area before the precip shuts off so watch for a period of heavy rain tonight which could cause some localized street flooding given all the snow on the ground.
Light snow is moving out this morning as our storm pulls away and we will be left with plentiful clouds for most of the morning hours. Expect snow showers to continue in the mountains through the afternoon where several inches of upslope snow can be expected in the favored areas. Temps in the mountains will be in the upper 20’s. Along the coast, morning clouds will give way to afternoon sun as temps rise into the mid-upper 30’s. Happy spring!
More snow/mixed precipitation should arrive late in the day tomorrow.
Quick update this evening on our light snow event that is beginning across the region currently and will continue through early tomorrow morning. Light snow is beginning across southern and western areas right now and will continue to spread east this evening. Since the atmosphere is quite dry at the moment, expect some of the radar returns shown below to not be making it all the way to the ground.
Expect snow to continue through the night tonight before ending early tomorrow morning. Clearing skies can be expected tomorrow along with NW winds and cooler temps. Details on tomorrow’s forecast will come in tomorrow morning’s forecast update.
Just a few minor changes to the snow map this evening, highest snow totals look to be south and east with this one yet again. Another storm heads our way midweek with a warmup too.
Happy meteorological spring!!* Today will feature increasing clouds in the morning followed by clouds and increasing snow in the afternoon/evening hours. Expect all areas to see clouds by around 9 this morning while snow should wait until after 3 this afternoon.
Temps this morning are anywhere from the 10s below zero to single digits above zero warmest where light breezes still blow. Check out yesterday’s post for an explanation on why that is. Temps will rebound quite well today into the lower 20’s north and higher 20’s south.
NAM Model Showing Precip Moving Into The Area At 5 This Evening
Total snow accumulation thoughts have not changed much since last night and it still looks like the Boston area will pick up the most snow. Last night’s snow accumulation map still represents what I think will pan out in terms of total snowfall.
Another batch of precip arrives Wednesday, more details later.
