Late morning weather observation
Good morning
1). On radar, nice illustration of ocean effect snow still ongoing this morning across parts of Southeastern Massachusetts. A strong Northernly flow & strong temperature contrasts between the water temperature and land took place, leading to a little bit of convection. Ocean effect snow occurs a few times each season across New England.

2). Cold winter temperatures have finally reached parts of the region. Some locations across Northern New England were below zero. Up at Lyndon State College, the temperature got to 1.2 degrees. A bit chilly.

Afternoon Weather Update
A Winter Weather Advisory has been issued for Cape Cod, Nantucket, and Martha's Vineyard from 4 P.M this afternoon through 1 P.M tomorrow afternoon. Snowfall accumulations of 2-4 inches are possible, especially across the outer Cape, and islands. Localized higher amounts are possible where the snow bands form strengthen due to convection. The primary impacts will be slippery roadways, and some gusty winds. However, this event is short lived and should diminish by tomorrow afternoon.
Updated Forecast For Saturday, December 17th through Monday, December 19th
Good Morning Everyone,
Headline:
The tipsy turvy weather pattern continues. So far, we had a few days of cooler weather and snow. Then a couple days later, we have above normal temperatures and rain. A lot of places across Southern New England and Eastern NY have had more snowfall so far this season then areas across Northern New England. However, winter will be in temporary control over the next few days. Some parts of Southern New England may pick up some light snow accumulations from a weak disturbance Saturday Night into Sunday. Colder temperatures will remain in place through the early work week before a warm front moves in from the west later in the day Monday.
Surface Analysis:
A cold front is moving through the region later this evening and overnight. An area of high pressure will build in behind the front over Southern Canada and provide a shot of refreshing cold air. A weak clipper system will move through the region Saturday bringing in the way some clouds. A Northernly Flow and the tapping of moisture from a low off the Northeast Coast will result in some snow shower activity for parts of Southern New England Saturday afternoon through Sunday morning. A low over the Canadian Province of Saskatchewan will move towards the East-Southeast and track to the north of our region. This will result in the dragging of milder air from the West-Southwest during the day Monday. A cold front will proceed later in the day Monday.
Saturday Morning & Afternoon:
Mostly cloudy across parts of Northern New England and Northern Eastern NY. Partly cloudy across Eastern NY and Southern New England in the morning. Partly cloudy in the afternoon with flurries and sprinkles possible , with the exception of Southern New England where clouds and scattered rain/snow showers will develop. High temperatures in the 20s and 30s across Northern New England, 30s to near 40 across Southern New England and Eastern NY . Winds from the North-Northwest at 5-15 mph, gusting to 20 mph along the coast.
Saturday Night:
Partly cloudy across Eastern New York and Western Southern New England. Mostly clear across Northern New England. Mostly cloudy with flurries & scattered snow showers across Eastern Massachusetts and parts of Rhode Island. Light snow accumulations possible, especially across Cape Cod and the Islands. Cold. Low temperatures in the 0s and 10s for Northern New England, 10s and 20s to near 30 across Eastern NY and Southern New England . Light North winds, with the exception of Southeastern MA and Rhode Island with winds of 5-15 mph, gusting to 25 mph.
Sunday morning & afternoon:
Mostly sunny with the exception of Eastern MA, Southeast MA, and parts of Rhode Island where clouds may linger in the morning through early afternoon. Mostly sunny in the afternoon. High temperatures in the 20s and 30s. Light North winds, with the exception of Southeastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island with winds of 5-15 mph, gusting to 20 mph.

Monday Night:
Mostly cloudy with scattered snow showers. Low temperatures in the 10s and 20s across Northern New England, 20s and 30s across Southern New England and Eastern NY .
Snow Accumulations
1). 1-3 inches of snow possible across Eastern Cape Cod, Nantucket, and Martha's Vineyard.
2). Coating to .5" of snow possible for many across Southeast MA & Eastern Rhode Island.

Updated Forecast for Sunday, December 11th through Thursday, December 15thth
Good Afternoon Everyone
Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend thus far. It is starting to feel more like the holidays as sunny weather and colder temperatures will dominate the weather through the first half of the work week. However, a disturbance along a warm front will move into the region and bring some rain for areas of Southern New England and Eastern NY. Snow is possible for areas of Northern New England and higher elevations of Eastern NY. This is great news for ski industry as they can make snow and build up the trail counts for the holidays.
Surface Analysis:
Cold front that brought in some clouds and colder temperatures has moved is over the Canadian Maritimes. A dome of High pressure is located above the Central Mississippi river valley. This will approach the area and provide us with colder and dryer weather. There is a disturbance along a warm front over the Canadian Provinces of Alberta and Manitoba . This will approach the region later in the day Wednesday and bring with it periods of rain to Southern New England and Eastern NY. Periods of light snow/ snow showers is possible for Northern New England and higher elevations of Eastern NY.

Good evening everyone
Surface Analysis:
The low that was responsible for the heavy rain and snow yesterday is currently located over the Northern Canadian Maritimes. There is an area of high pressure located over the Mid-Atlantic. However, this will remain to our South as a cold front over the Great Lakes will move to the east and tomorrow and bring some clouds and rain/snow to parts of the region. Colder temperatures will move in behind bringing a temporary chill to the region.
