Forecast Discussion
Clouds will continue to stream in and lower ahead of a low pressure system and associated warm front approaching from the southwest. Snow should fall on the higher summits for a period of time before they become engulfed by clouds. Model soundings have trended a bit colder with the latest run. It looks like the precipitation will start out as snow as air above the summit remains below freezing. Warm air will start to work in at mid levels this evening and temperatures will begin to flirt with the freezing mark resulting in the possibility of mixed precipitation and even some rain at times. The column remains nearly isothermal so this presents a tricky forecast. A degree or two change in the profile could be the difference between snow or rain. The summit will most likely see a mix through the night with snow, periods of freezing rain, and even plain rain at times. The storm pulls away tomorrow afternoon and high pressure will start to slowly build in bringing the bulk of the precipitation to an end except for a few lingering snow showers as colder air filers in from the west. Winds will not be all that impressive by Mount Washington standards and with temperatures hovering around the upper 20s through much of the forecast periods, wind chills will be in the range of 5-15 degrees above zero throughout.
