Hey guys, wild weather leaving upstate new york today. I read on the NWS that in 30 years of keeping data they had never seen a storm like that. Pretty cool. Dumped snow to our south but we eneded with rain. Lets take a look at the week ahead
Portland
Can you say high of sixty? Ridge of high pressure is bringing gorgeous weather for today and into tomorrow. Next pacific front is ready to roll on around 10 oclock tomorrow into tuesday to bring scattered showers. This storm doesnt look to be too potent. The threat for showers will linger after major low slides by. Highs around 55! This has been a very warm winter to say the least.
Utah
After you get through the rain showers today, high pressure builds in to bring sunshine for the start of the work week. Highs will hover around 50 with lows near freezing. Next chance for precip looks to be thursday. We'll keep you updated.
DEnVER
Area of low pressure moving over you right now. Temps today should warm to about 36 with passing snow showers. Not too much accumlation tonight, however, tonight i'd say 2-3 inches. For monday expect snow showers and a high near 39 and then after that high pressure builds in for some sunnshinneee for tuesday and wednesday with highs near 55!
NY
Low pressure system I mentioned early is finally beginning to recede. Fish has a better chance for catching a few more showers than chuck does, but temps will be well above freezing at both locations. The threat of snow/rain showers lingers as another system moves up from the south monday, this one not have nearly as much moisture. After wednesday all models indicate high pressure and sunshine for days to come! Temps this week should be in the mid to upper 30s with highs around 30.
Boston
LOw pressure moves up the new england coast monday to bring a shot of rain/snow to the boston area. I'd say snow showers before 11 am then all rain after that. Get up early and see some flakes! Highs monday will reach 41 with a low 32. This low lingers into wednesday bring the threat of a rain or snow shower depending on the time. Highs should be in the mid 30s and low 40s with lows right around the freezing mark. After wednesday all models indicate high pressure and sunshine for days to come!
BTV
LOw pressure moves up the new england coast monday to bring a shot of snow to the burlington area. I'd say snow accumlations up to 3 inches but not too much more than that. Highs monday will reach 36 with a low 28. This low lingers into wednesday bring the threat of a rain or snow shower depending on the time. Highs should be in the mid 30s with lows right around the 27. After wednesday all models indicate high pressure and sunshine for days to come! this means cooler night time temps with sunshine during the day!

Snow EVERYYYYWHERE except here in Vermont! Killing me. Literally everywhere I do forecast for saw snow flakes yesterday including PORTLAND OREGON! Crazy!
Portland
STill under the influence of this cold jet stream, but when were get this northerly pattern, not much in the way of significant snowfall. The low that slid down last night and this morning brought snow flakes a possible dusting in some places, but nothing major. This cool pattern will continue for most of the week, with temperatures right above freezing with mostly sunny skies, tomorrow most of the city wont even get above freezing. Temperatures in oregon are close to that of Anchorage Alaska. Pretty amazing. Have a good week and dress warmly!
Utah
Very low jet stream is allowing for chillllyyy temperatures. The low that brought snow to portland last night and mainly Idaho will turn east monday and give you a good amount of snow with high temperatures right around freezing and then cooling off tuesday to 24. WIll remain below freezing for the remainder of the week with scattered snow showers.
Denver
The snow from N utah turns to the east today and gives you snow showers. I'd say about 2 inches and maybe even more in some areas. Temperatures will be in TEENS! for much of the week. The low pressure system that brought portland snow will turn east and come into your neck of the woods Monday night and bring a couple more inches of snow. After that system clears your area you should clear out and "warm" up to the mid 20s thursday and gradual warm up to 40 by saturday. Enjoy the FREEeEZZZING cold temps.
(JUST REALIZED IITS YOUR BREAK SO NO ONE IS THERE!) DUHHHH DANNY
Cuse
Lake affect snow today will bring snow showers but above freezing temperatures cause little sticking to occur. Continued lake affect in place until a low moves NE from the oklahoma. This will bring a wintery mix and snow showers. Temperatures will be in the mid 30s for the week. Still hoping for that big snow storm!
ALbany
A weak high pressure is over the NE and allow mostly clear skies with highs right around 40. NExt big system moves in on wednesday with a snow rain mix. more updates this later on the week.
Boston
High pressure of NE will give some sunshine today, however, a weak system drops in tomorrow night and could give a few flakes. The main system is wedneday as a deep low tracks from the south to give a rain show mix with breezy conditions. i think in boston this will be mainly rain as we get more of the onshore flow, but possible snow in the morning hours.
Vermont
Gorgeous day today with highs around 36 then tomorrow I think we will get our first measurable snowfall in BTV. A weak system from canada is dropping into our area tomorrow after 2pm into the night hours. I'd say snowfall max will be 1-2 inches but mainly under that. After tomorrow we will have a break tuesday and then get hit with a pretty strong system. Tracking this has been difficult. As the storm approaches we will have only snow as we have a N wind, but once we get the low parrallel with BTV it will turn to rain as we pick up a S wind. Into the night hours it will return back to snow HOPEFULLY. This should give the mountains what they need. After wedneday looking a few other poential systems a nd highs not reaching freezing.

Hey y'all. Another winter storm missed for me in Vermont, and looks like the same will happen tomorrow. Shucks. Else where mild tranquil weather is taking place (besides the mid Atlantic region).
Por
Enjoy the sun today, because its the last you'll see of it for a while. Wed a low off the pacific moves in for occasional rain. The jet stream will park itself over the NW for the remainder of the week. This means showers for the majority of the week with highs around 50 and lows around 40. Oh Portland weather!
Utah
A weak ridge of high pressure will be over utah for the majority of this week. This will block out moisture and allow for some warmer temperatures. Highs will be slighty above 40 for Monday Tuesday and Wednesday with partly to mostly cloudy skies, then you will warm up to around 47 by Thursday. Lows will be in the mid 20s. No real signifcant precip on the horizon. Thursday slight chance of snow.
Den
High pressure in control for the week with mostly sunny, to party cloudy skies. After the cool day today, you warm back up to 40 tomorrowing and then mid 40s for the rest of the week. lows around 13 tonight and then climb back to mid 20s for the rest of the week. enjoy the sun!
Cuse
The major snow storm will stay south of the NY great lakes area. THis means a few snow showers tomorrow, but nothing more than an inch. This threat of snow lingers into the weekend, with no real snow maker. Highs will be in the upper 20s and lows will be in the mid teens.
Albany
This mid atlantic low will rise northeast and clip albany. No where near as much snow as the city will get, but expect 2-4 inches for your wednesday. After you break out of the snow thursday, expect clear sunny skies with highs around 30 and lows around 15
Boston
well well well boston. taking vemonts snow are ya? ha oh well. This large mid atlanic storm will clip the boston region as it moves out to sea. A winter storm watch is in effect (winter storm warning is the big one) so i'd expect about 6 inches when its all said and down. After you break out of the snow, much of the NE will be under high pressure so sunshine on the way for the weekend. Highs around 34 and lows around 22.
Vermont
WHEN IS THE SNOW COMING? I am dying here. Didn't think i'd be waking up to grass in mid february. Oh well, the week on tap doesn't provide much in the way of snow fall. Today partly cloudy skies maybe a flurry or two, with highs around 28. For tomorrow mostly cloudy skies as we will pick up the cloud cover from this major low system to our south, but not real snow fall. Thursday we are have to keep our eyes on a low dropping down from the canadian maritimes, could provide an inch or 2, but these lows never contain that much moisture. For your friday mostly sunny skies with highs around 30 and lows around 12. Have a good week!
