DAYS 1-5 (DECEMBER 9-13)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The first kind-of-widespread snowfall of the season is in the books, and it was quite a minor event as it was expected to be – a coating to 2 inches. While only some minor snow removal in some areas this morning, of more concern will be some icy patches where there was a snow-melt \/ re-freeze. Watch for that if you are out during the early to mid morning hours before the combination of the temperature rising above freezing, an increasing breeze, and dry air will eliminate the icy patches. We’ll have a nice day today as high pressure builds in, but it will be chilly with a breeze. A disturbance will move toward the region today and through the area Friday bringing some clouds and perhaps a brief period of snow\/mix\/rain, favoring the morning hours. The next formidable low pressure area is destined to take a track similar to the one we were impacted by on Monday, through the Great Lakes and into eastern Canada, sending a warm front through here with an early rain threat Saturday, a mostly rain-free day in the warm sector with a gusty breeze, and a cold front swinging through at night with a rain shower or downpour (something we will have to fine-tune timing and details on during the next couple of days). Behind this system comes a shot of windy, colder weather for Sunday and lasting into Monday as well with a slight temperature moderation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 6-10 (DECEMBER 14-18)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While the upper atmosphere says “let’s warm up!” and we will see it here to some degree (no pun intended), there are things going on elsewhere that say we may not see anything that lasts too long without being interrupted by a shot of colder air from Canada as a series of high pressure areas will be moving across that area and into a position that can push cold into the northeastern US. For now will go with a warming trend for the middle of next week, followed by a late-week colder shot. There will probably be some briefly unsettled weather at transition time but timing and details will have to be worked out as we get closer to that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (DECEMBER 19-23)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The trends continue to be for colder air to win out over any sustained warm ups, and we also see precipitation (including snow) chances go up in this time frame as we add a little bit more moisture to the mix. Obviously far too soon to try to pinpoint anything specific for any of these days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
