Higher Summits Forecast

Low pressure will drag a cold front through today, which will stall out as it pushes south of the region tonight. The weak low centered over Quebec will travel northeastward, pulling its associated cold front towards New England. In advance of the frontal passage today, overhead clouds will thicken and lower, and fog will eventually return to the summits. As the front charges through early tonight, winds will abruptly pick up and temperatures will begin to drop off as a chillier air mass attempts to work in behind the frontal boundary. A few transient breaks in the fog are possible towards daybreak, but will cease during the day tomorrow as a southwesterly flow transports moisture northward, thickening the fog once more. The increased moisture content of the air combined with the instability of the front will accommodate the fall of a few snow showers, which could mix with ice pellets during the afternoon hours. Any accumulation of frozen precipitation will be very light, amounting to no more than an inch.
