This update contains no major changes to the forecast, just a little more detail for what is coming into focus and updated thinking of what is still too far away for significant detail.<\/p>\n
Remainder of the weekend… Clouds started to limit the sun Saturday afternoon, and a now mostly cloudy sky will continue through Sunday, initially from a disturbance passing south of New England, and then from another small but fairly potent disturbance moving in from the west. This second disturbance will bring a period of snow to southeastern New England Sunday night, with some minor accumulation possible. Some of the snow may be enhanced from Cape Ann to Cape Cod MA due to a north wind blowing over the ocean water.<\/p>\n
Next week… The disturbance will exit the region early Monday but enough instability left behind may trigger some additional snow showers. Dry but cold weather will dominate Tuesday and Wednesday. The next storm system is due around Thursday. There are plenty of uncertainties on the track and precipitation type with this system with guidance showing anything from a system passing east of the region with snow, to a coast-hugging low with more rain than anything. I’ll still leave the wording very general on this low confidence system. Whatever the result, it should be departing Friday but not followed by very cold air, but a milder end to the week.<\/p>\n
