Not a Washout This Weekend...But Times of Clouds & Showers

The heaviest rain is exiting New England and we will see a very gradual improvement for the rest of the day. Satellite observations are showing a significant dry slot which will be shifting in during the afternoon hours. This should alow for breaking sunshine in SNE to develop...especially south of the Pike. Where sunshine emerges temps will spike into the Lwr-mid 70's thanks to some warmer air aloft. Where clouds remain, temps remain in the 60's

Humid Stretch Showing Signs Of Ending

High pressure is close enough to provide enough subsidence for some increasing PM sunshine across the north with skies becoming partly sunny. This stable sinking air should allow for some brightening to the skies this afternoon in the south as well...with more clouds south of the Pike closer to the front. Winds are extremely light today, but expect them to shift onshore this afternoon for a feeble onshore wind. This will keep it slightly cooler at the beaches in the mid 70's with many inland areas in the upper 70's and Lwr 80's, especially if we break into any period of sunshine...which I am expecting to develop this afternoon.

Get Ready for the Long Haul

Heavy Rain pushing through the CT and Pioneer Valleys this morning is shifting east for the midday and afternoon hours. Strong Southerly winds aloft are advecting warm moist air into the northeast. A cold front from Canada is pushing south into New England today...bringing colder air behind it. This will create perfect overrunning and lift to Midday-afternoon showers and downpours to develop. SE winds will try to push temps into the lwr 60's south before the rain moves in...once the rain falls...it is 50's for all!

Brief Cool Down Before Milder Times

Behind the departing low, some early sunshine this morning, but as the ground warms clouds and the wave passes through expect more clouds to rotate through, as well as the slight risk for a few passing light showers or sprinkles. Behind the short wave, skies should be breaking this afternoon for some increasing sunshine with a breezy west wind. Highs will be in the 40's in the clouds, Lwr 50's in the sunshine towards the coastal plain. Most of the sun today will be found in the south...yet most should be clearing as we head towards evening.

Plenty To Look Forward To....

Clouds have moved in this morning ahead of a warm front. This front is the leading edge of some warmer air which will move in for Valentine's day. Along this front is a vortmax which will slide through SNE during the midday and afternoon. A line of snow showers is pushing through eastern NY and and enter the Berkshires, CT, and S. VT later this morning and will move east during the afternoon. A light coating to 1" is possible in the western hills...otherwise most of us have the chance of a passing flurry or snow shower this afternoon.
