Detailed Discussion

Does this morning seem different to you? Perhaps you’ll notice less wind. For areas in southern and western valleys, the skies are clearing. The mountains and the north do remain cloudy, though any snowflakes are few and far between. Temperatures are several degrees warmer as well, the mildest morning of this week. For areas west and south of I-89, and south of the White Mountains, what’s left of the clouds will give way to lots of sunshine. And the clouds to the northeast, as well as the Adirondacks, will thin and start to break, permitting some sunny intervals there this afternoon. Combined with a more gentle northwest breeze, we should enjoy thermometers climbing into the 20s for most places, close to 20 over the higher terrain northeast, while a few low 30s appear in southern valleys. Although the weather maps again show a storm over Newfoundland, it is heading east, away from us, while high pressure extending through most of Quebec, south to the Virginias, just a little to our west, continues to build east, encouraging the increasing sunshine, as well as decreasing the winds. In addition, with the coldest air now drained from Quebec, temperatures should ease up a little as well. This welcomed break will seem brief, with some periods of light snow late tonight and Saturday, part of a storm targeting a broad swath from Texas and Oklahoma, east to the Carolinas and Virginia with heavier snow and on the southern fringe some significant ice. At the same time, a modest storm over the Great Lakes will pull enough of that moisture north to give us an inch or two of fluffy snow, mostly tomorrow morning, tapering off west to east in the afternoon. A gentle northwest wind behind the storm will keep some snow showers going along the western slopes of the mountains into Saturday evening, but in general, the skies will begin to clear in the valleys tomorrow night, and we should find varying amounts of clouds and sunshine for Sunday, while temperatures remain more seasonable. This means readings ranging from 10 to 20 north to south at night, and warming into the 20s and low 30s during the day, quite comfortable for winter activities, especially with the winds on the light side. The outlook for next week brings another push of colder air for the middle of the week, likely preceded by some clouds and snow showers Monday night into Tuesday, and then just a bit colder for Wednesday and Thursday. This more active pattern won’t get stuck like this week’s weather, with the potential for another weather system late in the week, or the following weekend.
