At this point, it is very hard to determine where the trough will setup and how strong it will be. Climatologically, the NorLun Trough usually sets up a little farther north than RI and SE MA, but there are some models that are indicating that this time the steadiest snow will be over these areas. The forecast right now is for snow showers or light snow Monday night into Tuesday morning, with a minor, fluffy accumulation possible. This forecast is subject to change based on the position and strength of the trough. It will be very cold with lows in the teens Monday night, and highs in the 20s on Tuesday. A north-northeasterly breeze will make it feel even colder.
Bitter cold into Friday
There will be a bitter chill in Southern New England Wednesday into Friday. Lows will be in the single digits and low teens, highs will be in the teens to low 20s. The weather looks dry and breezy, with partly sunny skies. The northerly wind will have wind chills below zero inland at the bus stop in the morning. As cold as it will be in Southern New England, it will be much colder in Northern New England. The temperature in far northern VT, NH, and ME may not make it above zero for most of the workweek!
Some snow is possible late next week as a storm moves across the country into the Northeast. As with any 6-7 day forecast, there is a large amount of uncertainty, but some computer models are indicating an accumulating, plowable snow Friday into Saturday.
