Warmer air has come into place this morning and as a result, snow should be limited at the coast while inland areas could receive up to 1′. Coastal areas should expect about anywhere from nothing to about 7-9″ all the way up the coastline. Travel will become tricky at around 8:00 or so when enough snow has fallen that travel should become a little tricky. It is not however the morning commute I am worried about, in the afternoon when a coat of snow, ice, slush, and water has built up I am worried about especially inland areas but the coast too will get slick and dangerous.
Stay tuned and stay safe!!

Wednesday 5:00: Forecasts have shifted dramatically this past week. Just 1 week ago the forecast was 50 and rain, now it is 33 and snow with freezing rain for Friday. There is some tricky parts in the forecast though. It looks like there will be a strong temperature difference between about 100 yards from the shore where the high will be around 32 or 33 and snow while even 100 yards offshore where highs will be in the upper 30s and rain. Amounts: islands and tips of peninsulas……………1-3″ Coast ( within about 1 mile of the water ) 4-6″ inland 8-12″ and mountains……………..7-9″. More updates in coming hours.
Stay tuned!!!

Inland………….4-8″
Mountains………….around 1′

Thursday has been a tricky forecast for the past several days but now the forecast has become more clear. The eventual type of precipitation is still uncertain and will depend on the actual track of the low. But we can eliminate some options. We can eliminate an all rain scenario for NE. Also we can eliminate an even partial snow scenario for the mid atlantic. It will be all rain there.
Stay tuned!!

We are tracking some temperature swings with highs tomorrow in the lower 40s in the south and coast while highs in the upper 30s inland, in the north, and in the mountains. On Wednesday, high temps will reach freezing in most spots with below freezing temps north of Portland-Manchester-Syracuse-Buffalo. Thursday will feature rain anywhere along the 95 corridor. Mix is expected within about a 30 mile radius north and west of 95. snow can be expected north and west of the mix/snow line. The mid atlantic will experience an all rain event.
Stay tuned as we fine tune the forecast!!
