This morning, most areas are coated in a fresh snowfall that ranges from a thick coating to a couple inches. During the day today, a frontal boundary struggles to get into the region, staying to the south enough that the cold air holds on for most of the day. Because spotty precipitation still has to move through the region, and it&#8217;s warming aloft, we have to watch for pockets of freezing rain showers mainly north of I-90 and especially the Route 2 Corridor northward. Some areas will also be cold enough for additional snow showers to occur, but I&#8217;m not expecting any additional accumulation. The frontal boundary does edge its way northward and ripple around the area for the upcoming two days through Friday while 2 more areas of low pressure move through the region. These will be mainly rain producers, focused on tonight and Thursday morning, and Thursday evening to Friday morning for steadiest rainfall. Neither of these will be prolific rain producers, so renewed flooding on rivers is not expected. Our active pattern continues beyond that, and after a break in the action Saturday, we get another storm system moving into and through the region Sunday and Sunday night, with a mix of precipitation trending to snowfall as colder air takes over from the north. Too soon to pinpoint snowfall potential by numbers, but many areas have a decent shot of picking up a bigger snowfall than the one we just had&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TODAY: Cloudy.
