SUMMARY…
\nDoing some fine-tuning regarding the weekend storm.
\nWinter storm warning for the entire WHW forecast area 3PM Saturday to 1PM Sunday.
\nBlizzard warning for southeastern NH and eastern MA counties 7PM Saturday to 1PM Sunday.
\nThe evolution of the weekend storm is still expected to be the same as previously discussed as a clipper low pressure system tracks east southeastward from the Great Lakes to near southern New England Saturday with a first area of snow developing. The system will then redevelop just southeast of New England Saturday night into Sunday before moving away. After a lull in snow over parts of the region especially eastern MA and RI Saturday night into the early hours of Sunday while snow likely continues in southeastern NH, back-lash snow, increasing wind, and falling temperatures will become the story of the second part of the storm Sunday morning across the region. Conditions improve later Sunday but bitter cold and gusty wind will continue, along with blowing snow, and this will continue into Monday. The next storm threat late Tuesday to early Wednesday will result from a fast-moving low pressure system likely to pass offshore of New England. Leaning toward a light to moderate snow event from this but plenty of time to work out details. More dry and cold weather is expected later next week.
