.DISCUSSION...
KEY MESSAGE 1...Mostly clear Today before a warm front pushes
through tonight night into Wednesday accompanied by some light 
snow.

Expecting Tuesday to remain mostly dry and sunny with afternoon 
highs around 32 and overnight lows dropping into the single
digits and low teens. Late Tuesday night into Wednesday morning 
will see the arrival of warm front preceding a fast moving
clipper system moving out of the Great Lakes Wednesday. This
warm front will bring chances for another round of wintry
precip, with highest confidence of accumulation across interior 
southern New England. Not expecting large accumulations with 
this system at this time.

KEY MESSAGE 2...Expecting another unsettled pattern for the mid
and late week timeframe. A clipper system should bring light 
precipitation Wednesday. Another coastal low pressure has the 
potential to bring yet another round of unsettled weather some 
time late Thursday into Friday.

Trending warmer Wednesday as a clipper system moves across
southeast Canada and northern New England. Timing will be
everything with this low pressure. Light snow most likely
during the nighttime hours. Increased S to SW winds should boost
temperatures above freezing, eventually leading to a transition
to rain across the coastal plain by the afternoon. Much lighter
snowfall of 1-3" is anticipated before that can happen, with the
highest accumulations towards the higher terrain of the
Berkshires and the Worcester Hills. 

Ensemble guidance is hinting at impacts from another area of 
low pressure some time late Thursday into Friday. As we have
said many time this winter, the exact track and strength details
are highly uncertain this far into the future. That being said,
ensemble guidance has shown the possibility of a track to our
south, providing more of a glancing pass from a much weaker low
pressure that what we had yesterday. Again, we are nearly 3 
days away from this system so exact details will be resolved
with future forecast updates.
