Forecast Discussion

The northeast will remain in a stalled pattern for at least the next 36 hours. A quasi-stationary and broad upper level low centered over Quebec will continue to spin a series of weak disturbances in over the next 36 hours. One exiting low is to the northeast which is deepening this morning allowing winds to pick up a bit in the north. After this, the most organized of the incoming shortwaves will be a weak Great Lakes Low that will dive south of the state over the next 24 hours before redeveloping as a coastal low tomorrow off the Jersey shore. Most of the energy with this will pass south as well but, low level moisture will be met with a northwesterly flow which is favorable for producing summit low and mid level clouds and occasional upslope snow showers tonight into tomorrow. Snow showers will be light as there really isnt much moisture to pull from in this air mass, so it will be a dry snow if anything and really low accumulations. Change will slowly be occurring in the coming days as Canadian high pressure to the west will continue to build amplifying the cold northwesterly flow making for some cold temperatures and colder wind chill values. The high will crest on Sunday allowing for sunny skies and moderating temperatures as it slides offshore initiating a southwesterly flow. Monday though, another Great Lakes low takes formation introducing clouds and snow showers to the state as it approaches and passes. It also looks as though the upper level trough will again reform for some of next week as well.
