Forecast Discussion
High pressure will crest the region today, and slide to the east. As it does, an approaching warm front will shift winds to the south, and temperatures will warm throughout the forecast period. A developing area of broad low pressure, influenced by the Gulf of Mexico will travel north east and become our next big weather maker. As it develops, it will pull moisture from the Atlantic and from the Gulf of Mexico. Southerly flow will maximize the moisture advection as well as the warm air advection. With the cold air mass already in place, overrunning will occur, and cause warming in the upper levels first. This will produce high clouds today, with the clouds lowering throughout the day and evening, when the summits will become obscured. The center of the low will pass just east of Cape Cod, and the moisture intensive storm will drop large amounts of precipitation on the summits and surrounding areas. Precipitation will start as snow tonight, and will be heavy at times, and if temperatures warm according to model soundings, there is a possibility of the snow mixing to ice pellets, sleet, and freezing rain tomorrow. Winds will increase tonight, up to 60 mph, causing blowing and drifting snow. Combine this with freezing fog and heavy snow, and white out conditions will prevail on the higher summits beginning tomorrow night and last through tomorrow.
