.DISCUSSION...
Transition of energy between two surface low pressure systems
this afternoon, will support the surface low over the New
England coastline to retrograde back into the Great Lakes
tonight and Friday before returning to the New England coastline
by Friday night, resulting in cold rain and wet snow. The lower
elevations will see little to no snow accumulation, while the
higher terrain will see a few inches of slushy snow
accumulations this evening through Friday. Lake effect showers
will continue into Sunday morning before petering out late in
the afternoon. However the break in dry weather won`t last long
as the next system will be approaching our doorstep early next
week.
