Did it feel a little milder today? The lower to middle 30s for high temperatures in much of southeastern New England were in contrast to the Arctic cold yesterday. It’s all relative. Today’s temperatures in November or April would be considered very cold. We’ve adjusted, like it or not, to the cold pattern. And it’s really not going away anytime soon. Now that we’ve got that squared away, it’s on to the storm threats. There are 2 of those in this forecast period. The first is the well advertised Sunday-Monday threat, one that I’ve always had a close eye on but was never too worried about it becoming a big snow event for most of the region, if any of it. It appears that it will be a minor to borderline moderate event for southeastern New England, occurring mainly during Sunday evening, from the first of 2 low pressure waves riding along a cold front that will have just passed through the region. The second of these waves is expected to stay too far to the south. This would be the one responsible for the more significant snow if it were to come far enough north. It does not look like that will happen. But we know better to turn our back on such a system. It’ll be spied until it’s safely beyond the region Monday. After that, it’s dry and cold for Tuesday into the middle of next week. The next storm threat, the end of next week, is too far away to talk about other than it will be the development of a low pressure system in the Gulf of Mexico that may make a run up the East Coast. Possible tracks this many days away range from a storm here to a complete miss – any surprise?<\/p>\n
