Good morning all & happy Monday to you. This week is starting off similar to how the last one ended: overcast and slightly damp. Overall the weather pattern is an active one as New England finds itself with the jet stream overhead. The battleground between warm air to the south and cold air to the north is taking place over New England.

Shown above is mean sea level pressure anamolies for the next 5 days. In general the forecast includes high pressure (yellows) to the south of New England and low pressure (blue) moving over or north of New England. This pattern allows for the active week ahead. However, there isn’t much cold air around, so snow does not dominate the forecast.

Monday

On-going light drizzle and rain for the lower elevations. Snow is falling in the higher terrain of the Worcester Hills, Berkshires & across central & northern New England. Accumulations are expected to be light with only an inch or two in southern & central New England. Maybe a couple inches across northern New England, mainly Maine. Temperatures this afternoon: 40s south & 30s north.

A leftover snow or rain shower can’t be ruled out for Friday. But mainly quiet. Morning temperatures: 20s south, teens central & near 0 north. Afternoon temperatures: 30s south, 20s central & teens north.

Looking further ahead, the pattern remains active, but no significant snow events are on the horizon yet.
