New England's weather over the next several days will be mainly influenced by a rather zonal flow. Zonal flow (when the jet stream has a stronger west to east motion and lays flatter across the United States) tends to promote near average temperatures as deep troughing or ridging is absent.

Winter storm watches across northern Maine have been downgraded to winter weather advisories. Trends over the past couple days hav
