As we expected there was no form of precipitation or harsh weather of any kind over last night's hours. Today' high was 36 F. The current temperature is 34F at 4:25pm, with winds coming from the north around 22 mph. It is currently cloudy and we are expecting light precipitation in the form of snow during the day time hours. Total snow accumulation is less than 1 inch.
If you take a look at the surface map you can see low pressure cells throughout the country. However, the ones located in the north and northeast are the ones having the greatest impact on our region. Cold, dry continental is moving down from Canada and wrapping itself counterclockwise around these low pressure cells.
Now taking a look at this wind map we can see that the wind we are receiving are coming from the north, which is a direct result of these low pressure cells in the north and north east regions. Condensation is taking place over much of the north and north east regions because the warm, moist air from the Atlantic is going up and over the cold, dry air masses.
Tonight's forecast calls for a light chance of snow before 11pm, then a chance of flurries. The total amount of snow accumulation is expected to stay below 1/2 inch.
