It&#8217;s another pretty nice weather day across the Commonwealth as sunny skies boost temps into the 40s. This is ahead of a big change toward winter starting Thursday night and early Friday. That&#8217;s when a cold front works through, bringing a much colder air mass and rounds of light snow into the coming weekend. It kicks off a very busy winter setup for the next few weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Temps out there today hit the 40s and may flirt with 50 on Thursday. That&#8217;s when southwest winds start to crank ahead of our cold front. This front crosses the state very quickly Thursday night and Friday morning.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a breakdown of how things look:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The front likely has a band of light rain and light snow along and just behind it.<\/li>\n<li>Skies will briefly clear behind that band, but that disappears as clouds and light snow sweep in from the west late in the day.<\/li>\n<li>With a powerful upper level low spinning over top of us, the atmosphere has quite a bit of energy and lift.<\/li>\n<li>This brings an increase in light snow Friday night and Saturday and this should be fairly widespread. Within this comes some streaks of heavier snows for a time.<\/li>\n<li>Another light snow maker then tries to show up late Sunday and Monday as another disturbance works in.<\/li>\n<li>Accumulations are a good bet across the entire region. This looks light, but I don&#8217;t think too many people would complain if we can get a 1&#8243;-3&#8243; snowfall out of this. Right? &#x1f61c;<\/li>\n<li>Overall, this looks like a pretty wintry weekend.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The various computer models are all singing the same tune and that&#8217;s always a good sign.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s start with the future radar of the NAM that only goes through 7am Saturday.
