Precipitation chances will increase from west to east beginning this morning in the mid to late morning hours. This will steadily spread east through the afternoon hours. Precipitation will reach northern New England first, with the low pressure system moving north of New England. Rain and snow showers may not arrive in southern New England until the afternoon. Below: HRRR showing potential weather around mid-afternoon today (1st image) and late this evening (2nd image): The

Throughout the day today, high pressure will shift from being directly overhead to the east of New England. This will set up a weak southerly flow and warm air advection. The overall air mass remains cold, so a notable warm-up is not expected in the afternoon, but it should get a notch warmer than Monday afternoon as the latest Arctic blast begins to slowly retreat. Afternoon highs will remain sub-freezing region-wide. Our rapid-fire weather pattern continues, with another cl

This week will feature a busy weather pattern with multiple systems moving through at a rapid fire pace. A brief break in the cold temperatures will come around midweek for some while others will get a shot at some snow. MONDAY Last night's quick-moving clipper system will slide across Nova Scotia this morning. This system has helped drag an Arctic cold front across the region, setting up another very cold day. Afternoon high temperatures will only rise a few degrees from mor

Tonight into early Sunday will see a cold front push through New England. This front is unlikely to completely clear New England, so high temperatures on Sunday will be similar to this afternoon. This afternoon will also see any spotty snow shower activity from a coastal storm passing well to our south come to an end. The passage of this cold front will allow for another cold night, with lows in the low teens north to low 20s south. The next quick-hitting system will zip thro

Troughing will generally dominate New England's weather over the coming weeks. This will keep periods of unsettled weather around, as the region will remain susceptible to waves of low pressure, cold fronts and Arctic Blasts. In the coming week, there are a few chances for some light snow/mixing to occur, though there are no powerful, high-impact systems on the radar at the moment. The very next chance for some snow/rain showers will come throughout the day Saturday. New Engl

We are now officially into meteorological winter (December 1-February 28). Average temperatures continue their tumble, but the rate of the tumble does begin to slow. November sees average highs drop 10-12° while December sees averages drop 7-9° from the 1st to the 31st. Summary: This December is looking like a cold one for New England overall. A ridge-in-the-west-trough-in-the-east pattern and the potential for a cross-polar flow will likely bring multiple shots of very cold

Yesterday's storm continues to steadily march away from New England this morning. A wide swath of 6-12 inches of snow fell across interior New England, with a steep cutoff moving toward the southern New England coast. As of writing (more snow reports are likely to come in through the day today), Freedom, New Hampshire hit the jackpot with 12.6 inches reported. Below: Snowfall reports as of 7:45am Wednesday: After a calm day under high pressure for Wednesday, an Arctic cold fr

A deepening low pressure will likely be pulling out of the Mid-Atlantic and pushing northeast toward New England early next week. The overall setup and position of this system will favor cyclogenesis, especially with the colder air setting up over land and a still relatively warm ocean here at the beginning of the season. The storm's center will likely pass New England just inside the benchmark . This will yank some milder air in from the ocean for the coastal plain. ALERTS (

A deepening low pressure will likely be pulling out of the Mid-Atlantic and pushing northeast toward New England early next week. The overall setup and position of this system will favor cyclogenesis, especially with the colder air setting up over land and a still relatively warm ocean here at the beginning of the season. Guidance is becoming to hone in on a track near, or just inside the benchmark. The general timing of this system has sped up a bit over the past 24 hours. A

New England's next system will arrive later Sunday and into Monday. This system will take an interior storm track. This would result in another setup with a warm front lifting northward, resulting in a milder storm. This milder air will be overrunning colder air settled at the surface, so mixed precipitation or snowfall is possible across interior northern areas and the higher terrain, with a switch to plain rain occurring from south to north. This system appears that it will

New England will be staying generally unsettled over the coming week as troughing once again dominates the region. The first chance for snow showers will come throughout the day today. A broad upper-level low will be sitting just north of New England, generating broad cyclonic flow over the region. This will bring large, puffy cloud development, windy conditions and the potential for pop-up snow showers and flurries with more persistent snow across the mountains. The most per

The leading edge of precipitation has now moved away from a vast majority of New England this morning. The upper-level low remains across the Great Lakes region, with the secondary low moving west and eventually north of New England. This will continue to lift the system's warm front across the region into this afternoon and evening. This front will likely stall out across northern New Hampshire and Maine. South of the front will see a very mild late-November day today. Tempe

Moving into tonight, a deep trough will move through the Great Lakes region and into southern Quebec on Wednesday. A surface low pressure system will move northeastward ahead of this trough. This system will likely move west of New England before lifting eastward through northernmost New England. This will make this system an inside runner, dragging its warm front across the region and resulting in a widespread plain rain storm. Clouds will be on the increase and thicken thro

This week will feature a stark rise in temperatures around midweek. This will be brief as colder air pours in toward the end of the week. This will also come with a round of rain just before Thanksgiving. MONDAY & TUESDAY Much of this time will be dominated by surface high pressure centered to New England's south. This high pressure will gradually slide across the region through Tuesday and move offshore and away from New England by Tuesday evening. This will result in milder

New England's weather over the next several days will be mainly influenced by a rather zonal flow. Zonal flow occurs when the jet stream lays generally flat across the country without pronounced ridges or troughs. This can often lead to low-impact and generally seasonable weather. This type of flow is quick, usually allowing for weaker, low-impact systems to push through the region. This stretch is no exception with a few passing systems leading up to Thanksgiving, but little

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. In this specific case, however, the Pacific-North American Index has been tilted positive. When the Pacific is the main influence in weather across the country, it leads to a milder flow a

With just about one week to go until Thanksgiving, here's a look at how weather patterns will be setting up for next week. It's been a generally active pattern as of late, though storms have generally been strengthening after exiting New England, leading to a mostly low-impact stretch. Heading into early next week, general ridging is expected to shift eastward, bringing some milder conditions compared to this week. The active, yet low-impact stretch of weather may also contin

This week will start off windy and snowy (for the mountains). Things will gradually calm down for the middle of the week. The next organized system looks to approach for Friday, but it looks pretty low-impact at this time. MONDAY Similar to last week, this week will be starting off with broad cyclonic flow over New England. This comes as New England's weekend storm has slowed down and strengthened near Nova Scotia this morning. This will bring another chilly day with persiste

New England's next system will approach later today and into tomorrow. This will be a frontal system with a primary low lifting well north of New England. A secondary low is poised to lift through northern New England, making this system an inside runner. Winter weather advisories are in effect for much of northern New England away from the coast. Winter storm watches across northern Maine have been downgraded to winter weather advisories. Trends over the past couple days hav

After brief surface ridging between systems on Friday and Saturday, New England's next system will approach later Saturday and Sunday. This will be a frontal system with a primary low lifting well north of New England. A secondary low is poised to lift through northern New England, making this system an inside runner. This will lift a warm front into New England, drawing milder air into the region and preventing a widespread snowfall across a large swath of the region. Trends
