Low pressure is right on our doorstep!  It still looks like mostly rain with this system but we may be able to get some snow/icy raindrops mixing in on Sunday.  We turn dry and mild again when we clear this latest storm early next week.

 

Today and Sunday--Cut-off low pressure slows up as it pulls closer to us and keeps a moist southerly flow with an increasing chance of some rain.  The good news is, is that most of the rain may hold JUST to our south across MA today.  Southeasterly winds will be picking up keeping the cloud cover locked in.   Southernmost resorts (Crotched thru Pats Peak) could see some light rain sneak in late in the day but northern areas may escape with a dry but mainly cloudy day.  The best chance of rain will be tonight through Sunday as the edge of the rain shield edges in from the south a bit more.  Expect winds to continue through Sunday things get a little sloppy--heaviest rain still for southern most resorts while northern areas catch mainly light rain.  Snow levels look to stay up around 6000 feet though most of the weekend but we are actually looking at the possibility of it dipping low enough to get some wet snow (summit mainly) on Sunday...perhaps a few inches.  Since peripheral moisture will be light in the coldest air (northern resorts Waterville thru Balsams), accumulations are not expected to be much, and again, mainly for the summit. 

 

Monday--Lingering low pressure will start pulling away out to sea Monday with decreasing clouds and light rain/mixing from overnight ending as some light snow in the morning.  We could see a coating to a couple of inches as cooling aloft brings snow levels back down to base level early in the day.  The afternoon clears out with winds shifting more northerly.

 

Tuesday thru Thursday--A dry northwesterly flow sets up as the upper level pattern remains split overhead--part of the jet stream just to our north and the southern jet stream way to our south with some troughing across the Gulf Coast--too far away from us.  We'll be in between with calm and dry conditions through midweek--CT
