Rainy on Wednesday and Thursday, Long Range?

There will be periods of light rain on Wednesday, diminishing by Thursday morning. If you have plans on either days, dress in layers and don't cancel, because it will not be a total washout. Expect a GRAPHIX map to be published soon by Expert Meteorologist Dominc.

Now for the long range, it gets very exciting. Consistent runs of the GFS and ECMWF weather models show a huge snowstorm barreling up the coast early next week. This will be close to call because of several factors. Although the temperatures should be below freezing, the storm could still track off shore. Relating back to this weekend's storm, the leading system gained strenth and pulled down too much cold and dry air. Basically, this caused the second storm to go way to our south. For now, keep a close eye on this potential spring snowstorm that could lengthen southern New England's ski season!

Mid-Week Storm

A storm will affect the region Tuesday night and Wednesday of next week. The storm will track through upstate New York and bring all rain in CT, RI, and most of MA. The only flooding with the storm should be minor urban and poor drainage flooding. River flooding is not expected. Northwestern MA and southern NH have a chance too see some mixed precipitation but it will change to rain fairly quickly. In central and northern New England, there could be substantial snow and mixed precipitation. More coming tomorrow with GRAPHIX maps and analysis from our other Precision Plus First Alert team members.
