First a Mini Thaw...
Weekend is here and good timing for a little mini-thaw that should soften up the snow enough so that we can rearrange some snowbanks. Don't expect much deterioration to the snowpack though this weekend with the lack of sun and temps holding in the 30s what you see out there now should be there come Monday (ha, just realized that's a Jimmy Buffet song and now all I can think of is palm trees and pina coladas).
We will see several weak weather systems roll through over the next few days they will be sliding down from Canada with very little moisture to work off of so we are pretty much just looking at flurries or a period of light snow. The first is a coldfront tomorrow afternoon the associated vort may provide enough lift in the very dry air for an evening flurry but most of those flakes will likely fly over the higher elevations. We clear out in the wake of the shortwave and get pretty cold again Saturday night. Then on Sunday another shortwave passes over New England. The energy from it and some warm air advection should provide a brief period of light snow midday into the early afternoon and a coating is possible from it especially to our north. The third and final shortwave will be the most potent and that passes on Monday...most likely to our north dumping several inches of snow across far Northern New England down here with warm air working some light wet snow or even rain is possible on Monday morning. It's associated coldfront will pass thru Monday evening with another brief shot of very cold air before the warmth builds back in.
That warmth late next week looks pretty good too...the EURO is advertising 60ish on Saturday before a coldfront knocks us back the GFS has that coldfront coming thru much earlier keeping the warmth suppressed in the 50s.
