Next?

While this complete non-event wraps up over the area, it's time to look ahead. Normally I would first post this on the main page, but I have a feeling that the winter weather outlook page will be fairly inactive over the next week.

First off, the current storm: Still an event for SE New England where they have gotten bands of moderate snow moving through all day. Totals of 4 to 7 inches are likely over interior SE Massachusetts. Further northwest, despite constant radar returns, dry mid levels have resulted in terrible snow growth, with generally flurries or light snow showers with small flakes yielding little or no accumulation.

Second, much colder air streaming in tonight with tomorrow and Thursday likely featuring highs in the upper teens to around 20, and a low Thursday morning -5 to -10 below zero.

Third, then warming up for the next week. As mentioned on the main page, the Pacific pattern will not be favorable for the east coast for about the next week. High will push 40 with lows in the 20's - not a blowtorch, but a definite turn around from the past month.

Fourth, it will not last. Pattern change will come around the middle of the month. This could be marked by a decent storm opportunity. GFS and Euro already keying in on potential around the 13th to 14th.
