The summits can expect to be frequently in the clouds. Any morning rain or snow showers tapering off, as lighter south winds becoming a little steadier from the southeast, and temperatures edge upwards a few more degrees.

Sunday remains cloudy from the Green Mountains east, perhaps a few rain showers, while a few breaks in the clouds are possible in the Adirondacks. Little change in temperatures expected, and winds will be generally light.

Detailed Discussion

High pressure that brought cold weather during the past few days has drifted east, feeding some of its remnant cold into a weakening storm that has coated the higher terrain south with light, wet snow last night into early this morning. The moisture decreased as it reached northern areas, with just a few spotty showers and sprinkles in the valleys, and a few wet snow flakes at higher elevations. Any rain or snow showers will become sprinkles and end this morning. This leading piece of the storm continues to fall apart, leaving us with generally cloudy skies in place, and temperatures a little on the cool side, mainly in the 40s. Some partial clearing develops for northern and western areas this evening, but clouds will remain south, and then push back north as a second, more substantial storm, forms over the southern Appalachians today. As it pushes north tonight into Saturday, expect cold rain to lift north, but late tonight, the temperatures drop just enough, and the rain falling cools the atmosphere, changing the rain to wet snow again, starting after midnight in MA, spreading north to about Lake George, Rt. 4, and the foothills of the White Mountains near Plymouth by tomorrow morning. Although this storm also weakens as it tracks north, mostly east of the New England coast, the Berkshires, southern Green Mountains, north through the CT Valley and much of NH could see a few to several inches of wet snow, more so over the higher terrain. From the Champlain Valley west and north, mostly some scattered rain showers are expected, and mostly in the afternoon, not likely reaching the St. Lawrence Valley, where a few breaks of sun and milder temperatures prevail, near 50 degrees. The snow and rain should taper off southwest to northeast Saturday afternoon, allowing temperatures to reach the 40s. Yet a third storm strengthens to the southeast of New England Sunday. Slightly drier air tries to circulate in on the western edges of the storm, keeping most of NY, Quebec, and northwest VT dry on Sunday, perhaps even permitting some teasing glimpses of sun, while a few leftover rain showers remain possible east of the Green Mountains, and perhaps a steadier rain in NH, depending on the position of this storm. An approaching system in the Great Lakes draws a wedge of high pressure in later Sunday and Sunday night, forcing the storm out to sea, with a brief period of dry, mild weather Monday, but clouds will rush in Monday afternoon, while temperatures climb to the upper 50s and low 60s. A cold front introduces rain showers Monday night and Tuesday, followed by another episode of chilly, unsettled weather for the middle of next week.
