December 5th 2024.

 

Today’s Northeast weather discussion…





The Clipper is moving toward northern Maine. With the Clipper we have snow showers and some snow squalls across the region. Arctic air behind the front, is going to allow temperatures to freefall during today into tonight. Winds will pick up behind the arctic front, with winds of 15-30 mph, with gust of 50-60 mph possible.

Lake effect snow is going to setup east and southeast of Lake Erie and Lake Ontario, later this afternoon into tonight; continuing tomorrow and lingering into Saturday. Those under the most persistent snow bands will likely pick up another 1-2 feet of snow with some areas seeing 3+ feet of snow by Saturday morning. The winds are going to allow for a lot of blowing and drifting snow.

Away from the Great Lakes, tomorrow will see Sun but it will be very cold and breezy, but for those closer to the departing Clipper, winds of 20-30 mph with gust near 50 mph will be possible. So, blowing snow will still be an issue.  

Saturday high pressure will begin to push in overhead. Sunday will see low pressure pass to our north, dragging a warm front across the region. The front will bring scattered rain/snow showers.  This front will allow for temperatures becoming warmer. Then Low pressure will approach and move through for Monday into Tuesday. With the warmer temperatures many areas will see rain, with a mix possible in the higher elevations across the northern part of the region. With the rain, Northern Maine could see several inches of snow. Those who still have a lot of snow on their roofs, may want to get that snow off, before the rain adds a lot of weight to the snow.  

Wednesday will see low pressure develop to our south, this will lift north and east toward New England. Cold air will wrap in behind the low, temperatures will once again plunge into the basement. So that by later Wednesday into Thursday, rain will be changing over to snow across much of the interior parts of the region, and a rain snow mix across parts of the coastal plain. Thursday will once again see the lake effect machine start up.

I need to see more eyes on these post. It takes a lot of personal time, time I could spend elsewhere, to make these daily outlooks. So please share and pass the word about the Wx4cast site , to as many as you can.

  4. Thank you from Rhode Island. Grassy areas and roads had a coating early today before the switch to rain. A couple of breaks of sun to add to the day. Breezy and chilly now.

  7. Have you considered going to a subscription/newsletter type arrangement? I suspect a lot of us who already follow you would pay rather than lose you.
