Though a slow warming trend anticipated through late week into Sat, expect highs to run cooler than normal given the cool profiles aloft and "destructive" sunshine (e.g. Expect cloud cover and showers to decrease each evening. Despite the showers around to dodge, there also will be several hrs of dry weather around. It looks like instability will be too limited to permit these diurnally driven cloudiness deepening to the point where thunder would be a possibility. With a cool pocket of air aloft (850 mb temps in the mid single digits C range) and some moisture around, expect diurnally-driven increases in cloud cover along with pop-up/hit-or-miss showers at scattered net coverage. A large/broad upper level low over Nova Scotia/ME vicinity will continue to govern our weather in this period, making slow eastward progress. Models and their ensemble means remain in good agreement on the overall pattern to close the workweek. * Better opportunity for widespread rains early next week but it is still unclear which day(s) may have better rain chances. * Dry weather for Sunday with temps warming back to near or slightly above seasonable levels. Temps cooler than normal, but they do warm each successive day. * Increased daytime cloudiness with scattered hit-or-miss showers Thurs thru Sat, with clouds and showers diminishing each evening. Near to below normal temperatures continue. The lift looks less robust, so coverage should be less. As such, a continued risk for diurnal showers during the afternoon and evening. Still no real changes to the overall synoptic pattern, with a mid level cutoff nearby and a surface low pressure lingering between northern New England and Maritimes. SHORT TERM /5am WEDNESDAY MORNING THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/. Per the 12z HRRR-Smoke near-surface smoke model output from today, Canadian wildfire smoke concentrations should reduce tonight and into most of the morning however potential exists for lower-altitude smoke to be observed in western MA and western and central CT Wednesday afternoon. Smoky conditions still continue with several sites reporting either HZ or FU with a wide range in visibility from 2 to over 6 miles. Given that no coastal flooding of significance was observed yesterday, we expect only splashover to result with the overnight high tide. As described in the coastal flood section, astro tides are still high albeit lower than yesterday. Previous discussion below.Īfter coordination with NWS Gray, we've decided to hoist a Coastal Flood Statement for the early-overnight high tide for the eastern MA coast and Nantucket. Temps overnight slightly cooler than normal, with lows in the upper 40s and lower 50s, mid 50s for Boston. Therefore, only expecting scattered showers late this evening with isolated thunder and then trending toward dry weather after midnight, as short wave moves offshore. Cloud tops are warming now and lightning trends are down. Short wave trough moving across the area coupled with steep mid level lapse rates resulted in scattered thunderstorms this afternoon and evening. NEAR TERM /UNTIL 5am WEDNESDAY MORNING/. Brief dry weather with a warming trend for Sunday, before our weather turns more unsettled with our next chance for widespread showers or thunderstorms either Monday or Tuesday. While not as cool as this past weekend, still expecting near to below normal temperatures with mostly hit-or-miss showers during the daytime into early this weekend. There will also be some near ground level smoke at times as a result of the ongoing Canadian wildfires. And you can find powder stashes weeks after a storm in any of the glades, marked and unmarked.National Weather Service Boston/Norton MA Steep at the top, flowy in the bottom, with some jumps mixed in. And snow-making has not always been able to keep up. But, it had an average of 160 inches of snow a year, and only got 30 this year, and 90 last year. It is doing better than regional resorts, of course. Along with this, the resort is struggling with snow. Eating options are great, from cheat mountain to even a Starbucks, anyone could find something to eat here. Ballhooter lift breaks down frequently and needs to be much more than a 4 person. Ballhooter lift is in major need of an upgrade, as just about everything ends there. No new lifts in what seems to be decades. “It is a good mountain comparing it to surrounding mountains but is falling behind.
