Saturday Morning's Weather Discussion



Reconnaissance aircraft were sent out yesterday into the Pacific Ocean to obtain further data for the computer models in regards to the potential storm on Monday night into Tuesday.  After this information has been ingested into the models, they have started to turn to a slightly more significant storm for Monday night and Tuesday, although they still keep the main effects to our north and east for Eastern New England, where a blizzard is possible.  There is still a possibility that this storm could develop sooner and affect us more, so be sure to check back for updates.  Right now though, the best guess would be that we would see some light snow from Monday afternoon into Tuesday morning, with the possibility of something more significant than that, with at least some accumulation possible throughout our area.  This storm will develop as very cold arctic air hits the much warmer ocean, but it may develop a little late to have a large impact on our area, but we will have to wait and see.  This storm will then pull very cold air down into our area starting on Tuesday, with low temperatures on Wednesday and Thursday morning likely dropping into the single digits and highs only reaching the low 20’s.  Then on Friday, an easier to predict storm will be affecting our area, likely bringing us some snow starting on Friday morning and ending on Saturday morning, possibly with significant accumulations.   Check back for updates.
