WEATHER SUMMARY:
….VERY ACTIVE WEATHER PATTERN OVER THE NEXT WEEK….
We have a very progressive and quite active weather pattern in our midst over the next week as no less than 3 storm systems will impact the Northeast. The first such system will be sliding south of New England during the day today and will bring along some light showers and even a period of steady rain. This first system is a fast mover so I’m not expecting much in the way of rainfall out of this system. Just expect gray, cool and gloomy weather for Friday.
After we see some sun on Saturday the next system will be on us by Sunday. This next system starts of as a weak low pressure wave moving through the middle Mississippi valley. This system will team up with some upper level energy diving southward on Sunday and allow this storm to deepen quickly as it move northeastward into the Lower Great Lakes region by Sunday afternoon. As is typical with a lot of Spring weather systems, this low will intensify along the coast and stall out a bit. All of this will lead to about 0.80″ – 1.25″ of rainfall across all much of New England on Sunday.
By Monday this storm will be moving slowly off to the northeast as an upper level cutoff low captures the storm and slows it way down leaving us with a cloudy and cool day with showers.
Storm number 3 will come at us toward the end of the forecast period with another dose of +1.00″ rainfall. Looks like it’s going to be very green around here this summer!
