Forecast Discussion
The low pressure that brought light snow to the summit yesterday will continue to pull off to the northeast and through Nova Scotia today. NW winds combined with residual low level and wrap around moisture will result in some light upslope snow showers this morning with decreasing chances this evening. An upper level closed low over the Great Lakes region will dive south of the region and move out to sea as an open wave today and tonight. The only impact this will have on the higher summits is that when we do finally start to break from the freezing fog, skies above will be mostly cloudy early on. Cold cyclonic flow will keep temperatures more seasonable on the higher summits through the forecast period but moderate winds will make it feel even colder. Wind chills will be 15-25 below today, 20-30 below tonight, and 15-20 below for tomorrow. With fresh snow on the ground to be blown around, expect times of poor visibility due to blowing and drifting snow. High pressure will begin building in tonight and will slowly start to dry things out and this could lead to breaks in the clouds overnight and tomorrow. There exists some uncertainty as to when the summit will actually break of the clouds and confidence is not very high at the moment. It is a situation where the summits could break from the clouds for good this evening, or remain in the fog through the forecast period. At this point, as I mentioned above, it does look like we will see at least some breaks tonight and tomorrow.
