Tuesday Evening

Synopsis: The low pressure system that brought us a few inches of snow and mixed precipitation will continue to bring snow showers and unsettled weather to the commonwealth for the next few days. A persistent northwesterly flow will continue. As the closed off upper level low scoots to the northeast, another low pressure will move in from the south, leaving little down time in between. 

Short Term: Snow showers continue to move across the state overnight. Generally snow showers are not making it past the middle of the state. Otherwise, the northwest flow will bring cloudy, breezy, and cooler weather. Lake effect snows will continue in the northwestern parts of the state through the end of the week.

Long Term: Our next systems looks to be as complicated as the last. Currently, there is very little model consensus. It currently appears there will be two areas of low pressure, with a classic miller B track. Where the energy transfers will determine how much and what kind of precipitation will fall. As of now, it looks like the southern most portions of the region will get rain with some mixing of snow and sleet. Stay tuned.
