What's A Little More Snow?!
Posted by Jeremy Reiner
That's correct, more snow heading this way. It's a tiny storm but many of you will see some patches of light snow & flurries by late morning as well as the afternoon. It's also a slow moving storm so we can hold onto the threat of flurries & snow showers overnight. forecasting snow amounts in these storms can be very tricky because it's like forecasting thunderstorms in the summer. We know the atmosphere can produce the thunderstorms---but knowing exactly where and how often those thunderstorms form is just not possible. the same will occur with the snow showers later today & tonight. If you check out the *special*map in our maps section you will see a snowfall forecast map for this evening & tonight. That's not intended to be treated like gospel but rather the idea of the randomness of the snowfall. For example, Lakeville may get 4" of snow by Friday morning while Wareham only receives a coating.
In any event, this storm will pull out of New England by early tomorrow morning and allow sunshine to go to work melting most if not all of the snow we get tonight. High temps tomorrow will reach the low 40s. The weekend offers similar weather---continued cold as temps stay pinned in the low to mid 40s but at least that sun will shine.
Enjoy your Thursday!

Can Only Go Up From Here

Rain and drizzle continues tonight as temperatures drop into the mid 30s to 40 degrees. Any burst of heavier precip drags down colder air, and elevations above 1000 feet in northern Worcester County or southwester NH see wet snow mixing in overnight. No shovels or plows needed for us, but it is a sure sign how cold the atmosphere is for late May. As of this writing, Mt. Mansfield in VT has picked up 7.5" of snow and Whiteface Mtn. in NY has picked up 18"!
This Is How It Starts? Really?

So it's the unofficial start of summer this weekend and officially, the average high this time of year hits 70 degrees. So you'd think we have a good shot at BBQ weather right? Not much of a chance today with highs reaching near 50 this morning, only to fall back into the low to mid 40s this afternoon as a cold rain settles in.

Rain, rain, rain...
...but for many today was a day of hurry up and wait. Sure there were showers, but not every minute was washed out. With the events unfolding tonight, that's about to change.
