Our current storm system sent a pretty intense band of precipitation northward across the region early this morning with significantly over-achieving snowfall over higher elevations of central MA on the order of 4 to as much as 7.5 (highest report as of time of writing) inches of snow. As soon as you head east and south, it drops off to the more typical April expectations of a marginal situation. For example, here in Woburn, I&#8217;ve recorded 0.7 inch of snowfall between 2:30 a.m. and 8:00 a.m., much of it having melted on pavement and only accumulated on grass\/dirt and cold car tops. What remains of this band hangs over central and north central MA now, even with some thunder reported, but this will weaken and move way and low pressure to our south will just keep us overcast with drizzle and periods of light rain, maybe some additional mix \/ wet snow at times but nothing like what just occurred. Another low has to move by to our east on Sunday, and this will throw another shield of precipitation back our way for several hours during the day. This one should be largely rain, however, sleet and wet snow are possible where the intensity is enough. I do not expect a repeat of early this morning! Finally this system wheels away later Sunday and we dry out. A different world awaits on Monday. Despite a chilly start, strong April sun and a land breeze will allow a nice warm-up during the day. As we head into next week, weather systems will be more on the move, and the next one, low pressure passing to our north, will bring a warm front through on Monday night with some late-night rain, then a cold front through the region during the day Tuesday with some morning rain showers. We likely salvage the afternoon with dry and still mild weather. By Wednesday expect fair weather but with cooler Canadian air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TODAY: Overcast. Snow to the north and west tapers off during mid morning. Otherwise drizzle and periods of rain that can mix with sleet and wet snow at times. Temperatures steady 33-40. Wind NE 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TONIGHT: Overcast. Drizzle and periods of light rain. Areas of fog. Temperatures rise slightly to 35-42. Wind NE 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SUNDAY: Overcast with periods of rain \/ drizzle, may mix with sleet and wet snow at times but no appreciable accumulation, tapering off in the afternoon. Highs 37-44. Wind NE to N 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SUNDAY NIGHT: Gradual clearing. Lows 35-42. Wind N to NW 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MONDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 57-64. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MONDAY NIGHT: Clouding up. A period of rain possible late night. Lows 43-50. Wind S 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TUESDAY: Variably cloudy.
