Note: 60 years ago today our area received nearly two feet of snow, it is the earliest snowstorm I remember, I especially liked the three days off from school.

A weak warm front moving through the area today will cause mainly cloudy skies with a chance of light rain showers mainly occurring late this morning. Despite the clouds temperatures will once again rise into the 50s.

A weak cold front will cross the area on Sunday but with no precipitation so the day will be partly sunny and quite mild with highs near 60.

Colder on Monday and with a low pressure expected now to move further north than was indicated yesterday which will cause some light rain or snow mainly falling in the morning.

Tuesday will be dry and seasonably cold.

Prospects for a heavy snow event is becoming more likely mainly from Wednesday afternoon into Thursday morning as a coastal storm is expected to move just off our coast. At this time snowfall amounts of over 6 inches are likely along with windy conditions and possibly some coastal flooding.

Mainly dry and cold Thursday afternoon through Friday.
