I think the forecast has improved a bit.....I don't mind the sleet if it adds up like it did last Friday..

6-day Forecast Discussion Updated for Monday, February 4, 2008

OVERALL SITUATION--TODAY--It's tough to think about anything but the bitter Patriots loss last night but the weather keeps on going. The overall pattern flow will be from the southwest for the first part of this week. We'll be seeing more clouds today with weakening light snow showers pushing in from the west but these will be lacking upper level support to follow through all that much. A beefier batch of snow/rain showers heads our way overnight and into Tuesday morning--otherwise, fairly cloudy but tolerable temperatures and light breezes.

TUESDAY--An early wintry mix batch of showers pushes through mainly early in the day with slightly drier conditions for the afternoon. We could pick up a coating to a couple of inches from overnight before snow showers turn to more icy rain drops instead. Southwesterly winds will be strong early then shifting more westerly as we dry out a bit later in the day. Clouds may thin out later on but reinforcing cloudiness will be on its heels overnight.

WEDNESDAY--With the storm track, or frontal boundary lying through the region, we'll be seeing yet another heavier disturbance slide through with a stronger upper level trough of low pressure. Look for periods of an icy/rainy mix early turn to some snow as the colder air presses back in from the northwest. Winds shift northwesterly and temperatures drop with minor accumulations possible late before tapering off overnight.

THURSDAY--Colder and drier conditions return with a brief ridge of high pressure sliding through aloft.

FRIDAY AND SATURDAY--The storm track which has been moving through us will shift a bit further out to sea with disturbances flaring up to our southeast. A couple of upper level disturbances will be able to churn up occassional snow but accumumulations may be low. Plus, colder air will be draining back in from the northwest as well-CT
