So this will be my last regular update for the 2013/2014 winter season. That doesn't necessarily mean it will be the last update, it's just the last regular update. Since spring has really set in now and so many folks have turned their attention to warmer weather activities (crazy, right?), it's just a logical time of year to stop frequent updates. Of course, it's not too late in New England to see a widespread snow event, so if I see one coming down the pipeline (maybe next week??) I'll be sure to post about it. I know my ski season isn't over. I'll be hitting up any of the lift serviced areas that keep going to the bitter end...Killington, Sugarloaf, Wildcat, etc....and then I'll see how long I can get some turns above treeline on Mount Washington. I'm hoping for June this year!

One more thing before I get to the weather. I do want to send a heartfelt thanks to all of you out there that take the time to read my posts. I do this because of my love for both the weather and the sport of skiing, but I also do it with the hopes of helping all of you find the best snow possible in New England. I certainly hope that I've been able to do that for you. Generally, page views, readership, and comments were up this season, and I hope to continue that trend heading into next season. As always, if you have any constructive feedback and/or suggestions to improve the way I write The New England Daily Snow, please don't hesitate to send it along via the comments section below or to my email, [email protected].

Now, on to the weather...

Summary

This weekend will bring plenty of classic New England Spring skiing weather. Temperatures will be the warmest they have been yet this spring and there will be plenty of sunshine on Saturday and early Sunday. Later on Sunday, a weak storm will push rain into the region. Early next week, temperatures will sky rocket ahead of a slow moving and complex storm system. This system will push in Tuesday morning and may not completely exit until Wednesday morning. Precipitation will fall mainly as rain, but could end as a period of snow for some parts of the region. The long range shows some cooler temperatures and another chance for some snow later next week, especially in the north and at high elevation.

Details

If you're heading to one of the remaining open resorts this weekend, get ready for some classic New England Spring skiing! After some clouds and maybe some fog to start the day on Saturday, expect plenty of sun to break out and temperatures to rise well into the 60's at the resorts that are still operating. There will be plenty of spring corn to harvest out there on Saturday, for sure. Sunday will start out with some sunshine, but clouds will increase through the day as a weak storm approaches from the west. There could even be some showers around Sunday afternoon.

Heading into next week, temperatures will be unseasonably warm on Monday ahead of a slow moving and complex storm system. Even in the north, highs will push to the 70 degree mark on Monday. Then on Tuesday, this system pushes some precipitation into the region and won't likely completely push out until Wednesday morning. Precipitation will certainly start as rain, but as the cold front comes through and another area of low pressure rides up that front, there could be a period of snow Tuesday night for the north and for the higher elevations. At this point, it's very difficult to say how much could fall (we're 5 days out still), but I don't expect this to be a big accumulation. Perhaps moderate at best.

Long Range

After that storm passes, temperatures will generally be cooler, but at the same time will stay fairly seasonable. Later in the week next week, there is another chance for some snowfall at high elevation and in the north as a storm tracks up the coast. If this one plays out as it looks right now in the models, this could actually end up being a decent snowfall for elevations above 2,000 to 3,000 feet.
