The intense storm that gave us blizzard conditions Sunday night and yesterday is now off the Maine coast as high pressure builds from the Tennessee Valley. Gusty west-northwest winds will diminish by this afternoon. High temperatures will be around ten degrees below normal.
A fast moving clipper system will likely give us some light snow Wednesday morning accumulating to around an inch. Clearing and milder by Wednesday afternoon.
Another weak clipper area will give us another chance of light rain or snow on Thursday.
Dry weather with near normal temperature Friday through the weekend and with plenty of sunshine each day which will help melt some of this snow pack.
Colder early next week and there may be a stronger system that could give us some significant snow Monday into Tuesday.
