Detailed Discussion

So far, this week is off to a quiet, seasonably mild start, with afternoons in the 30s, even a few low 40s in the warmer southern valleys. And it remains quiet for northern areas today, but some changes are in the making, offering a bit of snow for southern areas, and a cooling trend to keep temperatures in line for the middle of February. The set-up on the morning maps features another mild morning across the region, as cold air remains well north and west to a decaying weather front, attempting to drift south through NY and northern New England. Over the next 24 hours, a piece of high pressure from northern Canada builds east through central and northern Quebec, enough to force what’s left of the front to our south. This progression is farther south than was expected yesterday, and should limit any snow later today and tonight to far southern areas, mainly from Lake George, then east along Rt. 9 through southern VT, south into MA, and barely edging into southwest NH. The National Weather Service has placed Bennington and Windham counties in VT, northern MA, and then west to the Hudson Valley under Winter Weather Advisories, though latest trends will limit the snow to perhaps an inch or two, mostly for the higher terrain, as temperatures run near or above freezing in the valleys, resulting in either wet snow or some rain. Overnight, the snow and valley rain slides to our southeast, permitting slightly colder air to expand a little more to the south, with readings by tomorrow morning mostly in the teens, holding in the low 20s in southern-most areas, while single digit readings show up near and north of the Quebec border. High pressure will remain well to our north Thursday into Friday morning, but close enough for some sunshine. It won’t last long, as another storm organizes over the Great Lakes, tracking east Friday afternoon into Saturday. It brings a band of snow or a wintry mix to most of the region, initially as some light to moderate snow late Friday and Friday evening, then becoming lighter snow and snow showers as the storm’s energy re-focuses on a developing storm east of New England. The snow showers should diminish through the weekend, with seasonable temperatures.
