Recreational Forecast

Mountain Forecast:
A cold front will move off the east coast today out over the Atlantic. Steady rain might stick around a little longer since the front is taking its time heading out east. Over higher elevations there is a chance rain could turn over to wintry mix or snow, due to cooler temperatures. Once the front moves out later today, precipitation will become more showery, with periods of drier weather in the afternoon. By later this afternoon there is a chance for some dry air to move in allowing for some blue sky to peak through the clouds.

Tonight into Monday multiple weather systems are approaching New England. The first weather system will travel along the slow-moving cold that has extended down into the south, and will push eastward along with a secondary low pressure system out in the Midwest heading eastward. Both systems will support widespread rain and snow showers Monday into Tuesday.

Wind At Lower Elevations:
The outlook for Sunday calls for light winds, becoming northwest at 10 to 20 mph. Then on Monday wind will shift to south-southwest and weaken slightly at 5 to 15 mph. Tuesday wind will increase with the passage of a low, with wind becoming west at 20 to 30 mph.Sno

Detailed Discussion

A complex storm system will continue to impact the east coast over the next few days. A low pressure center to our east will support scattered showers throughout the day today, but as it continues to move out over the Atlantic, showers will become more scattered. Temperatures will rise into the mid to upper 40s with some locations breaking the 50 degree mark. Warm temperatures ensure precipitation will fall as rain throughout the day.

A low pressure center over the Midwest will move eastward, and combine with a secondary weather system to our south on Monday. As it does showers will become more widespread throughout the day. By the afternoon widespread remain showers are expected. Highs will be in the 40s so most locations will see rain, but a few locations over higher elevation could see some wintry mix. Then overnight Monday night as temperatures drop any lingering precipitation will turn over to snow. Accumulations are expected to be minimal to light, with the chance for higher elevations to see a few inches. Then on Tuesday the low pressure system will make its final push, with wet weather diminishing overnight.

Record cold was noted on this date in 1982, in the wake of a late-season blizzard that whipped through with 1 to 2 feet of snow. Single number readings were widespread, dipping to 8 degrees in Cavendish and Dorset in southern Vermont, 3 degrees in South Lincoln and Cornwall, 2 degrees in Northfield, and 1 in Rochester. The mountains were even colder, plummeting to –13 on Mt. Mansfield, and –17 on Mt. Washington, NH.
