DAYS 1-5 (DECEMBER 4-8)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the short term, our attention now turns to a low pressure system that will impact our weather today, especially tonight, into Thursday as well. This system is a kind-of clipper, a fast-moving low pressure area moving east southeast from Canada, and the jet stream in this case will steer it eastward across the St. Lawrence Valley. While we get a blossoming area of fairly steady precipitation late this evening and overnight \/ early Thursday, the impact of a southerly air flow due to the storm’s track will keep the all-important boundary layer, an important region in the lower atmosphere for determining precipitation type, too mild to support snow for much of the time in the I-95 belt and most certainly the coastal areas. Further inland, the opportunity for snow is greater, and there will be some accumulation from the I-495 belt \/ I-86 belt westward, favoring higher elevations. During the day Thursday a strong cold front trailing from the low center will trigger some snow showers \/ squalls. These can be mixed with rain or even start as rain the closer to the coast you get, but even there they can end in the form of a quick burst of snow. Other than a few lingering snow flurries, dry and much colder weather arrives at night and takes hold through Friday, although the wind that makes it feel even colder on Friday should start to ease by Friday evening. Another disturbance crosses the region on Saturday with the potential for some snow showers. This system is not expect to have any significant impact. High pressure provides dry and chilly weather Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
