There’s a lot for Matt Noyes to cover in our Insights “Deep Dive” video today!  From accumulating snow returning to the northern half of New England Wednesday night, to a spotty black ice chance Thursday morning, snow showers Friday, a nearby developing storm Friday night and a cold blast this weekend!  All the details you need in the video, or the brief written summary is below.

Wednesday Night: Rain to Snow Transition

• Timing: Rain arrives late Wednesday afternoon, changing to snow during the evening across northern New England.
• Snowfall Amounts:
  • Southern New England: Coating to an inch in higher elevations of northern Worcester County.
  • Central Vermont/New Hampshire: 2–4 inches, locally higher in the hills.
  • Northern Vermont & Northern NH: 4–8 inches with elevation-dependent totals.
  • Interior Maine: Widespread 4–6 inches, higher amounts in some of Northern Maine.

Friday Night Storm: Close But Worth Watching

There’s more arguing for a developing storm Friday night to miss than to hit (though some snow showers would be probable, regardless), but A.I. enhanced computer guidance suggests we should keep a close eye for a nearer pass that could back enough moisture into Eastern New England for 1″-3″ of snow Friday night, except at some immediate coastal locales or Cape Cod, where an onshore wind off the ocean would give a better chance of raindrops.  At this point, it’s simply something to watch, but we’ll keep you posted.

Weekend Arctic Blast:

• By Sunday: High temperatures only in the teens and 20s across New England.
• Wind Chill: Single digits in the north, teens south.
• Overnight Lows: Subzero temperatures for northern New England.

Bundle up—this will be the coldest air of the season so far!
