The blizzard rages on today, but there are still two more chances for snow this week.
Intensifying low pressure passes south and east of New England today with heavy snow, strong winds, and coastal flooding likely. The snow will be heavy through the morning, then start to taper off in the afternoon, ending during the evening. We’re looking at 10-18 inches across much of the region, a little less across southern New Hampshire, on the order of 6-10 inches. Winds will gust to 30-50 mph inland, and 50 to perhaps 70 mph along the coast, with significant blowing and drifting snow likely. Temperatures will slowly fall during the day, so the snow will become a little fluffier, allowing the blowing and drifting to become more of an issue. Winds will start to diminish later today as the storm pulls away, but it will remain breezy into Tuesday morning. High pressure builds in with some sunshine returning on Tuesday, but it won’t last too long. Clouds come right back at night as an Alberta Clipper heads our way. Some light snow will develop towards daybreak on Wednesday, ending by early afternoon. Temperatures may be marginally warm enough for the snow to mix with or change to rain south of the Mass Pike. Overall, with it being a weak and fast-moving storm, we’re not expecting more than 1-2 inches of snow anywhere.
We’ll clear out at night and to start the day Thursday, but then another system quickly heads our way for Thursday night and early Friday. There’s a bit more uncertainty with this one – some models have a change to rain with the storm passing to the north, some keep the storm farther south with less rain, but a shift southward where the snow falls. Some models show light accumulations, some heavier. For now, it doesn’t look like a big storm, but we’ll see how things progress as the week goes on. High pressure brings in drier weather for later Friday and the weekend.
