Synopsis:
Tonight will be cloudy. A front will stall along the East coast and waves of low pressure ride up the coast. It maybe cold enough as high pressure noses in from Eastern Canada late tonight and Thursday morning for rain to start off as freezing rain or sleet North and West (first map above). All other areas will experience plain rain.
The morning commute will be wet for most areas. There will still be pockets of freezing rain well inland for a time. The rain will taper off during the late morning and much of the midday and afternoon hours should be dry (3rd map above).
On Friday as the second wave of low pressure moves North more rain is likely during the early morning. A break in the rain is likely by mid-morning. As the low intensifies over the region and moves into Southern New England another round of showers is possible on the backside of the storm.
The weekend looks decent for February standards. Saturday will be tranquil and cool under a mix of sun and clouds. A weak area of low pressure will move South of the region Saturday night and Sunday morning. At this time it doesn’t look like a big deal. Flurries are in the forecast Sunday morning, otherwise skies will be partly sunny.
Stay Tuned.
