As a large scale trough centered to the west tries to press eastward at times, colder shots of air will be introduced into southeastern New England. One such shot has already arrived in the wake of yesterday’s mild air. A second shot will arrive early Friday behind a disturbance which will be in the process of rapidly developing as it moves by the area, just offshore, overnight tonight to early Friday. This will bring a period of rain changing to snow, which will not hang around long, but will produce some minor accumulation. The problem: timing. Just enough snow may accumulate on some roads to make for briefly slippery travel for the Friday morning commute. Most of the accumulation from the event will be on unpaved surfaces, where up to an inch or 2 is possible. Most areas will see less than this, and a few higher elevations can see slightly more. By later Friday morning, it’s done and offshore, leaving the remainder of the day brighter, breezy, and chilly. This represents a slightly stronger version of the disturbance than was expected yesterday. Still relatively low-impact, but given time of year and time of day, something we cannot ignore.<\/p>\n
The remainder of the outlook is basically unchanged. Dry and chilly Saturday with high pressure to the southwest and low pressure to the northeast of the region, bringing a gusty and chilly breeze across the region. Low pressure approaches later Sunday and then takes most of the day to pass through the region Monday as strung-out energy along a boundary. This still looks like largely a rain event, but some mix\/snow cannot be ruled out over some interior areas so it will be watched. By Tuesday and Wednesday, a shot of the coldest air of the season so far is expected, but it may take until later Tuesday to actually arrive behind another front.<\/p>\n
