Upslope shows continue across the northern portions of New England. New snowfall accumulations from these showers are expected to be light, however northern mountains like Jay’s Peak, VT could squeeze an additional 6”+.

General cloudiness and lingering snow showers will persist into the weekend as the system to our north is slow to move out. As this system exits on Friday, cold, arctic air will makes its way into the area. High temperatures over the weekend at many peaks will be in the mid-teens.

Winds will begin to increase as this system departs, making already cold temperatures feel colder. Winds will be from the northwest at 20-30 mph with higher gusts possible. Wind chill values below zero are likely for this weekend. If you’re heading out this weekend, make sure to bundle up!

As the system to our north exits over the weekend, a brief period of high pressure will build in Saturday into Sunday. Clearing conditions from this will be intermittent as a quick moving system slides into the region Sunday morning.

Expect snow showers with some accumulations across much of northern New England. Southern portions may receive a wintry mix so use caution when traveling. You can check road conditions across New Hampshire here: http://vortex.plymouth.edu/webcam/rwis/

Our next big system will likely be some time mid-next week. It is too far out to tell for certain what the exact track of this storm will be or how much snow we’ll get, but some models are hinting at a potential for some significant snowfall.

We will continue to monitor this as always and bring you new information as it becomes available.
