8:42AM<\/p>\n
Good morning all. I apologize for the lack of updates the last couple of days. Been dealing with 2 health issues that have slowed me down. Here is a short update to catch you up on my thoughts regarding the upcoming weather…<\/p>\n
SUMMARY…
\nArctic cold front slides through southern New England from northwest to southeast today with a band of snow, though fairly minor in accumulation will result in slick spots, especially where some overnight light rain\/freezing rain fell in relatively mild air. Behind this front the snow lingers briefly then ends, and temperatures plunge as Arctic air moves in with winds picking up. Anything on the ground will freeze solid and the air will have a nasty bite to it right into Friday as the wind stays up, though Friday’s weather will be dry. Saturday through Tuesday will be a stretch of snowy weather as a frontal boundary sets up just to the south with ripples of low pressure riding along it, and a big Arctic high centered to the north of the region in eastern Canada. This is the type of set up that will produce snow much of the time, but light to moderate in intensity for the balance of the event. Accumulation mounts up, but fairly slowly. We’ll just have to watch for one slightly stronger low coming along Monday or early Tuesday that could enhance snow across the region. Otherwise some of the higher prolonged snow totals would be near eastern coastal areas due to ocean enhancement. These details will be fine-tuned as we get closer… Dry and cold weather is expected to return by the middle of next week.<\/p>\n
