Who doesn't love a fun graph that shows just how much colder it is than normal? Yeah...Same. But we made one anyways. Good news is that by Tuesday we could actually see seasonable temperatures. 😎 Here are the forecast high temps for the coming week vs. the normal high temps.

[5pm] We could see some snow showers overnight with most accumulation being at higher elevations. The AM commute across the interior could see some impacts, mainly due to reduced visibility and slick spots on untreated surfaces.

Low pressure will pass south of New England late tonight & Thursday. This will bring another batch of precipitation across the region. Precipitation amounts are expected to range from about one-quarter to around one-half inch. Temperatures will be marginally cold enough to cause a mix or change to snow after midnight tonight into mid morning Thursday near and north of the Mass Pike. Most of the accumulations will be on grassy surfaces, but readings may be cold enough for light accumulations on untreated surfaces across the Worcester Hills and Berkshires. Expect the rain to taper off Thursday evening as the low moves farther offshore.

Large mid level cutoff low pressure continues to spin across Quebec into northern New England this morning. Clouds will remain prevalent across the region through the remainder of the day, which is seen nicely on the mid morning GOES-East visible GeoColor satellite image. There will be some breaks in the clouds across eastern Massachusetts into Rhode Island. Temperatures will top off in the mid to upper 40s across the higher terrain to the lower to mid 50s across the coastal plain to the Connecticut River valley.
