The trend out of the thaw and back to the cold will be a slow one as it takes a while for the trough to carve its way back into the eastern US. It will happen in stages over the next several days but with the main push being just too far west initially to bring much cold air in. The result will be mild air still in place today as we’ll be between a departing storm system to the east and a weaker one in the Great Lakes. Though slightly cooler Thursday and Friday, it will still be averaging milder than normal. A storm system Thursday will get going too far offshore to have a major impact other than some cloudiness over eastern New England, and another storm will try to get going just offshore Friday night into Saturday, with slightly colder air to work with, but probably getting its act together too late to have any significant impact. By Sunday, a strong disturbance in the northern jet stream will drive a cold front through the region, setting off snow showers as it turns a little colder. More seasonable cold is expected to start next week, but as the week goes on, even colder air is expected to come out of\u00a0 Canada into the northeastern US. There may be some threats of snow as the cold air becomes re-established.<\/p>\n
