Good Wednesday everyone. Our middle of the work week is here and it continues to feature more in the way of chilly weather. The days of the chill are numbered as our much hyped warm up is about ready to kick into high gear just in time for the weekend. Enjoy it… a big change lurks by early next week.

A weak system is diving southeastward across the state today and is sparking some scattered showers (say that 3 times). Those showers are few and far between and we will have several dry hours today. Temps will stay in the 40s for highs today.

While we have some dreary weather at times today, it’s nothing compared to what areas of the east coast will be going through. The same areas devastated by Sandy will be getting pounded again the next few days by another nor’easter. This one will have more of a wintry aspect for those areas. Take a look at the snowfall forecast from the NAM…

We have one more chilly day around here on Thursday before the warmth kicks in. Highs will be in the upper 40s and low 50s Tomorrow and then warm toward 60 by Friday. Saturday and Sunday will be very mild with temps well into the 60s and flirting with 70 degrees on a southwesterly wind.

Those same winds will blow a big change into town by Monday and Tuesday as a strong cold front blasts through here. Will it include a secondary storm blowing up along it? That’s very possible and something the Canadian Model is latching onto. Here is what it looks like on Tuesday:

The GFS has more of a simple frontal passage with a line of showers and thunderstorms with a touch of rain or light snow behind it…

Check the temp spread with that front…

We will see how that all plays out, but don’t be surprised if the stronger low scenario wins out.

Have a great day and take care.
