An active jet stream aloft is helping to bring in some high clouds from the next winter storm developing now over the mid and lower Mississippi River Valleys. I blogged about this snowstorm earlier and it's going to be another one that -- looking at our brand new forecast models -- will likely drop snow amounts that can be measured in FEET rather than inches in places like Baltimore and Philadelphia; and this time, more of that significant snowfall should make it up into southern New England.
Meantime, back at home, we'll see a warmer night tonight as our wind shifts around to the east and eventually southeast. We had lows in the 30's and 40's this morning; tomorrow morning, we'll be in the 40's and 50's. Clouds increase tomorrow ahead of the front, but it is breezy and warmer with highs pushing to the mid 70's. We'll see rain move through around sunset and into Tuesday evening, about a quarter inch of rain looks possible for most of the area. By the time you wake up on Wednesday morning, the rain is gone and cooler air is moving in... we'll struggle to get out of the low 60's for highs on Wednesday!
Next chance of rain gets here late Friday into Saturday.. and this one could bring over a half inch of rain to the area. The next several days look to feature temps below average as a series of fronts moves through!
