Cold air to settle into New England bit by bit...Saturday snow for some?

The Saturday snow potential is more addressed in the streaming technical discussion in the video window at the top of the page.

Video Forecast: Flooding rain, damaging wind - and some crazy mild air - all in our Monday forecast

I had some fun with the temperature contours today on the new, high-resolution system.  Great tool for showing the pockets of cold we so often get here in New England, which were really important early this morning.  Heavy rain will undoubtedly result in flooding Monday afternoon, especially when combined with snowmelt.  Most of this flooding will be of street and stream variety, though some river ice jams are possible in Central/Northern New England.  Also of concern is the potential for southerly wind gusts exceeding 60 mph.  These have already been observed in the Mid-Atlantic, and will do damage in some spots of Southern New England Monday afternoon.  Keep an eye to the radar - heaviest wind will accompany heaviest rain today - new, big, live, interactive radar is just below the video window at the top of this New England Weather Page, and IS viewable nicely on iPhone and mobile web browsers!!

Quiet weekend to be followed by heavy, flooding rain on Monday

A few more inches of fluff...but substantial new snow en route to Maine

It was only an hour later that the first burst of snow developed in the higher terrain of Central Massachusetts, and I realized it was time to hasten the arrival of snow - losing any hope of maintaining a dry morning in the Boston area.  It's rare that I run into troubles in such an immediate forecast...a testament to the amount of energy associated with this disturbance.  This early burst of snow set us up for an additional inch near the MA Turnpike.  Additionally, I had neglected to drop a snow icon on the Friday forecast, which I remedied immediately after this broadcast.  No, not my shining moment, but our web center didn't update another of my forecasts online, so you'll just have to take my word for it that I did make the necessary adjustments!

Heavy, wet snow blankets much of New England
