I am beginning to hate the phrase “high bust potential” but I am glad I used it, because a shift of just a number of miles in the development of things means a big change in snow amounts for the ongoing (or not too ongoing) event. Instead of getting into the details of why things are going the way they are, we’ll just outline the newly expected snow amounts, nothing that there is a jackpot area of over 4 inches in southern RI which occurred Monday evening.<\/p>\n
There will indeed be a trough development but the latest info suggests it will be just a little further offshore, keeping the heaviest snow out over the water and only brushing the remainder of eastern MA and only giving a moderate (at most) amount to coastal northeastern MA to NH. The dusting to inch or so that has fallen in areas from just west of Boston westward is about it. The few to several inches that have occurred over southeastern MA may be added to a little more, especially over Cape Cod where the new expected amount is 3-6 inches. There is still uncertainty from\u00a0 Boston northward along the coast, and especially from Cape Ann to NH Seacoast where a 3-6 inch burst is still possible overnight and early Tuesday.<\/p>\n
The remainder of the discussion is unchanged from the previous post…<\/p>\n
Midweek Arctic cold: Still expecting a nice dose of pure Arctic air for Wednesday & Thursday. A weak disturbance will pass south of the region and bring nothing more than a period of high and middle clouds early Thursday, otherwise it will be dry and very cold.<\/p>\n
Late week storm threat: Yes it\u2019s still there. And it\u2019s still too early to provide details, but my best guess is that it will be a Friday night \/ Saturday threat (still some timing issues to be worked out), and threaten the region with a significant snowfall. A few snow showers may linger Sunday depending on the speed of an upper level trough moving through the region. It will be cold, regardless, right through the weekend, though not as cold as at midweek.<\/p>\n
