Calmer Weather Arrives
With a weak trough in place thru the weekend, a couple of 'Alberta Clippers' will dive into the Great Lakes region and try to make their way into Southern New England. Both will be weakening as they approach our backyards. 'Clipper #1' will produce a few flurries this afternoon and evening, especially in Western and Central Mass.. 'Clipper #2' will try to produce a few snow showers late-day Saturday. The GFSx is showing the potential for a quick coating to an inch with this weak disturbance. Otherwise, this weekend will provide a couple of great days to enjoy your favorite outdoor winter activities.
*Midweek Next Week: Could we possibly be looking at more fresh snow the middle part of next week? The answer is 'yes' according to the latest model runs. The EURO shows the track of the ('Panhandle Hook') low farther north and west which would produce more of a rain/snow scneario. However, the GFSx shows the low tracking just south of Southern New England which would be a prime location for another snowy set-up. As of the 00z Jan. 28 grid interpolations, the GFSx would provide a general 6-9" spread with slightly less for the Cape/Islands due to a brief changeover to rain before switching back to snow. Of course, there is a lot of time to tweak and fine tune the track of this storm.
