Interesting Set Up Coming

So today and tomorrow look to be nice days with sunny skies and highs in the lower 40's. But after that, a very active and hard to forecast pattern sets up.

Starting on Tuesday, a Low pressure system will work up the east coast very slowly while an upper level low moves east from the great lakes and will get cut off, meaning it stalls.

This will make for a very gray and precipitation filled week for us here in Boston. As for the precipitation type? It looks to be mostly rain and mixed precip close to the coast and more of a wet snow and sleet precip type.

The yuck weather should begin sometime early Tuesday morning and really will last until Saturday. We will get breaks in the heavy stuff throughout the week and another storm appears to form in a similar manner on Thursday and possibly again on Saturday. That's what happens when you stop the movement in the upper atmosphere. Storms continue to form over our heads.

The cold weather is just not around this time though. Any area with some elevation and areas north of southern NH will get some accumulating snow but I just don't see it for the rest of us, at least with this system on Tuesday. We will jump back and forth between rain sleet and snow, but nothing will really accumulate.

I will have more later. I am working on a way to develop my own graphics so stay tuned!
