1/6 AM All Zones: Multiple storms affect the area this week

/by

At least two disturbances are expected to move through the area during the upcoming work week, with the first one arriving on Tuesday and the second following right behind it on Thursday morning. Both will be moving rather quickly, through a fast and progressive atmospheric flow in both the mid and upper levels. But they will be different in nature — with the disturbance on Tuesday providing rain to the entire area, while Thursday’s storms holds wintry prospects.

A low pressure system drives well to our northwest from late tonight into Tuesday, over the Great Lakes and Southeast Canada. Warmer air in all levels of the atmosphere will take over, with southwesterly winds in much of the region. Precipitation will start and end as rain, beginning on Tuesday afternoon and ending during the morning hours on Wednesday.

1/5 PM All Zones: Active, complicated forecast through midweek

/by

A transitional weather pattern will continue over the next few days, and multiple storm systems are expected to impact the area over the next few days. Quiet weather through Monday will give way to a developing storm system in the Great Lakes, which will move into Southeast Canada on Tuesday. Warmer air will be drawn into the Northeast US as the storm develops, and rain will spread throughout the area on Tuesday.

A threat for wintry precipitation will develop throughout New England on the front end of the storm system, as a cold high pressure over Canada shifts away from the area. This will be most prevalent across interior portions of NY State, Connecticut and areas further north into New England. Cold air in the lower levels will be more stout here, and multiple precipitation types are possible — including snow, sleet, and freezing rain.
