*New Blog* Another Winter Storm Threatens Next Week

Fairly quiet but seasonal cool weekend ahead for many this Saint Patrick's day Holiday weekend. There could be a few renegade snow showers from time to time especially Saturday though High pressure is expected to crest over the region Sunday and Monday keeping us dry and tranquil. The next weather system we are watching is for Tuesday into Wednesday morning. Timing is a bit suspect at this time as it may come in a bit early than that, possibly Monday night. As of now Low pressure forms off The New Jersey coast very late Monday into Tuesday morning and looks to take a track right over eastern Southern New England and perhaps right through the Cape Cod Canal area. There is still plenty of time as we are 4+ days out from event and a lot can shift. I do not expect any major shifts but slight ones will make a BIG difference this time of year as we are moving towards the end of winter officially. A track this close would mean perhaps brief snow burst for may to mix and to rain for the bigger cites and along and east of the Interstate 95 corridor. Where the colder air at the surface and aloft remain colder , wintry mix and snow will persist longer in those locations which look to be north of the Massachusetts Turnpike and the higher elevations.  The potential is there for those that do remain all snow  for a Warning type snowfall over 6". Again, much time to iron out and watch trends in the forecast and guidance as  the mix line can and likely will  wobble either south or north. Either way a period of strong wind gust are possible for a brief time into Tuesday on the order of 30-45 mph favoring locations near the coast and especially Cape Cod and The Islands. Again, nothing set in stone expect the storm now looks likely and likeliest locations to receive measurable snow are now (but not limited to) north of the Mass Pike and especially higher elevations with potential for further adjustments north or south in time. I will be watching when I have the time to this weekend. For now I am packing and heading off to Lincoln New Hampshire Saturday and Sunday for a Zip Lining adventure with my Brother and Nephew.  First Time ! Hope you all have a happy and SAFE Holiday weekend   ~ Anthony
