Martin Luther King weekend and new snow will certainly mean longer lines, but the conditions will make it well worth the wait.
Round one( the Norlun Trough) is moving through Metrowest in a weakened state this morning. It is still providing moderate bursts of snowfall, reducing visibility down to mile at times...and enough for a general coating to 1" of snow. Roads are mostly wet...but a slushy accumulation is gathering in spots
WBZ's Joe Joyce's ski report for week ending Jan. 7, 2011.
I think both sides provide very convincing arguments and data to support their point of view. It is a fascinating topic...and an evolving science which needs debate and discussion to be open...not sequestered.
Just like in a basketball game, suddenly this winter has gone on the offensive and is going into a full court press. You may not know it yet..but the weather is starting to line up for plenty of cold with the chance for a few snowstorms before the month is through.
Colder air will wait until tonight to finally push in. Plenty of low clouds and fog this morning. Visibilities are gradually starting to improve after a very murky start. Scattered light showers and sprinkles have been pushing through from time to time. Temps have started in the 40's...and that is just about where they will remain today
High pressure off the Mid-Atlantic coast is giving us great weather to start off the year 2011. A mild start with Plenty of sunshine this morning with light SW winds at the surface will allow temps to climb into the Lwr 50's...and may even climb into the mid 50's in a few areas if the sun holds strong through the afternoon.
we will have to watch for snow to quickly push into southern New England quickly by afternoon. I am expecting 2-5" to be on the ground by sunset with snowfall and wind quickly becoming heavy into the evening
Heavy Snow and Wind will lash New England in a powerful winter storm late Sunday Afternoon through Monday. Over a foot of snow is possible in many areas with peak winds gusting over 60 mph at the coast.
At this point there are still more questions than answers in regards to the upcoming storm. We are still playing a game of "Wait and See". Not just what the models are going to say..but also how the actual weather is going to behave.
The final batch of light snow is pushing from Southern Maine into Eastern Mass for the late morning and midday. Light snow will be tapering off this afternoon...but it could take the Cape and islands most of the day for the snow to finally end. Temps will be warming into the upper 30's, so some of this light snow at the coast may start to mix with a light rain.
The snow will ease up this evening in intensity...light snow/flurries..Heavier west of Boston...but watch for another band of heavy snow to slide down the coast early tomorrow just before dawn. It will be snowing tomorrow morning at the coast and this could last until 9-10 AM...with additional minor accumulations....but low visibility..and just a few inches can make driving hazardous from the Cape to the South Shore. Expect a slow go.
Expect some snow tonight, a clear Christmas, and then a possible storm Sunday.
Steady snow through midnight...but a lesser intensity through the overnight with snow showers. It could very well still be snowing at the coast for the morning commute...in areas which are seeing the heaviest snow tonight. Expect more delays/accidents and spin outs as people practice their winter driving skills
Clouds are quickly filling in today with skies becoming cloudy. These clouds will thicken and lower into the evening hours. N0rthern New England is looking at a nice day with increasing afternoon cloudiness
The week that was in forecasting is gone now. What we are left with is high confidence of a storm tracking far enough off the coast to have little impact for our region. In fact, I am calling for a great weekend...but also cautious to see if this storm has any more tricks up it's sleeve.
Simply put...On Tuesday the 21st, A Full Moon Occurs on the Winter Solstice with a Total Lunar Eclipse. This will never again occur in your lifetime. Awesome.
A cold front is pushing through New England tonight. An upper level short wave is providing enough instability and lift that showers are developing along this boundary. On the cooler side of the front, light snow has developed in Pittsfield, Springfield, Orange, Hartford, Windsor Locks, and Gardner. Worcester will be changing over to snow this evening as well. In fact this upper level disturbance has the potential to provide scattered rain/snow showers across much of the region as the front approaches the coast. As temperatures fall behind the front, there is the potential for black ice to develop after midnight
Focus will turn to bouts of Heavy rain and strong winds which will be developing today. Strong low level jet wind of 70-100 mph will be racing above our heads this afternoon and evening. Some of these winds will mix down in heavier downpours..especially at the coast and hilly terrain.
weak high pressure providing enough subsidence and sinking air to provide ample sunshine in southern new England with a milder SW wind at the surface. This will return our temps to a more seasonal airmass of 40-45. A pleasant afternoon for most. There are more clouds in Northern New England with a cold front draped across the Canadian border. These clouds will remain in place for the rest of the day.
This week provided many northern mountains their first substantial snowfall of the season.
Arctic air in place today-tonight-through tomorrow keeping temperatures way below from the normal high this time of year year. This is an airmass more typical in the dead of winter...even then it would be chilly! Highs today are 30-35, but winds gusting over 30 are making temps feel like the teens and Lwr 20's
Certainly more clouds out there today compared to yesterday...but still an overcast thin enough at times to provide some partial sun. A lighter NW wind with considerable cloudiness will keep temps mostly in the 30's today. Some spots will average close to 10 degrees below normal.
Not one, but two snowstorms will take aim at northern New England in the next few days. This is not a pattern conducive to bring snow to southern New England, but north facing slopes in the north country will find their first significant snowfall of the season.
