Detailed Discussion
A low-pressure system will be absorbed by another weather system moving to our north, bringing additional scattered snow showers across the region. Clouds will increase from the west as pressure decreases this afternoon, delivering light snow showers north. A minor shortwave will pass the Great Lakes today, absorbing some moisture; however, the cold front swinging in lacks organization. It’ll snow in some spots this evening after sunset, but little is expected in terms of accumulations. A dusting to a few inches mainly over the northern peaks, heaviest around sunset, then flurries dissipate after midnight. Southern winds have moderated temperatures; highs today closer to mid and upper 20s north, above freezing south of Route 4.
A cold front will firmly set in place on Monday, disrupting the typical diurnal pattern. During the morning, wind chills will feel below zero in most places, with northeast gusts up to 20 mph, then decreasing during the afternoon. Daytime temperatures stay in the mid to low teens, single digits in the NEK, and around 20 in the Upper Valley. High pressure briefly slides in for the afternoon, becoming mostly clear before sunset and staying mostly clear overnight.
Tuesday will start with full sun, but morning clouds begin building ahead of more snow showers arriving from west to east. Those showers are just the appetizers to the main course arriving early to midday Wednesday. A deeper low-pressure system will swing through the Great Lakes on Tuesday night. Widespread snowfall arrives from southwest to northeast before noon on Wednesday. Showers become more scattered by Wednesday night, but a few inches of snow are possible over the higher terrain by then. Continuing overnight, scattered snow showers receive a renewed push by the upper levels Thursday morning, so snow showers increase in the afternoon, then decrease through Friday morning.
