It’s starting to look a lot like winter around New England. Snow guns are firing at Cranmore, and live cams from Bretton Woods’ Cog Railway, Loon Mountain, and the Katahdin Tower are already showing a fresh coat in the high terrain. You can watch those cams cycle on the left side of our 24/7 weather stream and keep an eye on the live national airport delay map in the lower-left panel – handy with busy travel corridors.

A cold front sliding through this morning shoves the early showers out and opens the door to cooler, drier air. That’s why Saturday improves quickly: expect breaks of sunshine and a decent afternoon, just a bit breezy with occasional gusts around 25 to 30 mph. Saturday night cools efficiently into the 30s – 20s in the North Country – setting the stage for a wintry start in northern New England on Sunday. Light snow may arrive early Sunday in the Green and White Mountains, and while intensity won’t be high, it can be just enough to coat mountain roads. Even the I-89 corridor around Burlington, Montpelier, and St. Johnsbury could need a little treatment with readings near 32°, so plan for a few slick spots.
By midday Sunday, most northern areas change to a mix or plain rain as warmer air noses in aloft, while the south waits on the main round of showers and downpours to arrive during the afternoon into early evening. A rumble of thunder can’t be ruled out near the South Coast. Sunday evening and night stay showery regionwide, and Monday looks more dreary than dramatic, with scattered pockets of rain and cool air holding in place – generally 40s north and 50s south. As the storm center lifts into Quebec, colder air slides in behind it and the wind pushes moisture up the west and northwest-facing slopes. That keeps upslope snow going Monday into Tuesday, adding to mountain totals even as southern New England starts to dry. Tuesday is the coldest feel of the stretch, with highs only in the 30s to lower 40s and a sharper bite to the breeze.
Temperatures track seasonably ahead of the system – 60s south and 50s north Saturday, 40s far north – then slip back Saturday night. Sunday rebounds to the 50s south and 40s north, and we stay above freezing Sunday night, so widespread icing isn’t expected. Monday is cool and damp; Tuesday turns colder as upslope flakes continue in the mountains.
