A few mild days showing for early next week followed by several potential storms and a return of colder temperatures

A bit of surprise snow Thursday night and some more Friday sun makes the wind a bit easier to deal with for another day. The wind won't diminish entirely for the weekend, Saturday still appears gusty with over 20 mph winds in exposed summit areas while Sunday should be a bit better with winds more in the 10-20 mph range. We are expecting more sun for Saturday while temperatures moderate well into the 20's and Sunday should feature more clouds and a little morning light snow with a 1-3 inch accumulation and afternoon temperatures that make a run at 30. 

The moderating trend in temperatures will continue into next week though this is a temporary move as I mentioned in the previous update. Winter is by no means showing signs of relinquishing its grip easily. That said, the early part of the week will feature some of the warmest temperatures of 2025 if you can believe it.  Clouds should keep readings in the 30's for Monday, a calm day if you are waiting for that news ! Those clouds should drop a bit of warm advection snow on us Monday night before southwest winds bring temperatures above the freezing mark for Tuesday. Again, the prevalence of clouds should keep readings from getting too crazy and more light precipitation late in the day may be of the elevation sensitive type with some rain falling in valley areas and snow in the higher elevations. The end of next week appears cooler and the risk for a storm continues late Thursday into Friday. This still looks like a clipper-like event and a sizable snow is contingent on this weather system catching a bit of northeast coastal fire. I am not confident as to an accumulation, but I would consider some powder likely for Friday when a surge of polar temperatures makes an advance into interior New England. 

There's a 2nd feature in this weather pattern that will take aim at the northeast for Sunday March 2nd. This appears to be a colder event and one that might impact areas farther south though it certainly bears watching. Whether that 2nd storm has an impact, the first weekend of March will be chilly with temperatures in the teens and 20's during the day. 

Beyond that there's more March storminess ready to reveal itself. The pattern appears cold, anchored at least initially, by some ridging in the jet stream near the Alaskan/Yukon border though that doesn't mean we still won't sneak in a mild day here and there in accordance with the season. That signal for a sizable storm is showing up during the middle part of the week leaving us plenty of time for the storm to disappear and then reappear on the various model simulations.
