Forecast Discussion
Low pressure that brought mixed weather yesterday and overnight will continue to depart to the northeast this morning make its way towards the Canadian Maritimes. As it departs, it will deepen increasing the gradient between the exiting low and entering high pressure. This will dramatically increase the winds the morning with gusts reaching as high as 130 mph by midday. Upslope snow showers will continue this morning as wrap around moisture will be met with strong northwesterly winds favorable for upslope activity. Towards the end of the day, snow showers will begin to taper and winds will begin a slight downward trend. Overnight, winds continue to decrease as high pressure builds in. The forecast problem will be the cloud deck elevation. There is a chance an inversion may drop the deck to below the higher summits leaving clear skies but if not, the summit will remain in the fog through the night. Tend to agree with models keeping us more in the fog than in the clear given past storms similar to this one. Tomorrow, high pressure will crest in before sliding east. This will allow for a drying pattern and for the summits to slowly break free of the fog under increasingly cloudy skies later. Temperatures will dip today rise in the evening then dip back overnight before climbing tomorrow. Temperatures will remain fairly isothermal remaining in a bracket of lower teens but will spike and dip between 5 above and 15 above through the period. Wind chills, although lowering, remain above wind chill advisories. Wind chills today will be 5 below to 5 above to start falling to 20-30 below before rising back to 15-25 below in the afternoon and for the remainder of the forecast period.
