.SYNOPSIS...
High pressure will be in control through early next week with only a
weak cold front or trough shifting through during Saturday night
into Sunday. A weakening low pressure system then passes nearby for
Monday night into Tuesday. A stronger system moving through
southeastern Canada then sends a cold front across the local area
Wednesday into Wednesday night.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
High pressure builds in behind the cold front that had passed
through earlier this morning. Mostly sunny conditions for the
rest of the day, but breezy with below normal temperatures. High
temperatures for the day have likely already occurred early this
morning before the cold front had moved through. Expect
temperatures mostly in the 20s for the rest of the day, with
winds creating wind chills in the single digits to mid teens.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
Key Points:

* Brisk and cold conditions continue into Friday.

* Wind chills fall into the single digits and teens tonight and
  Friday night. Wind chills remain in the teens to near 20 on
  Friday.

Deepening low pressure lifts north across eastern Canada during
this time as weak high pressure builds in from the southwest.
West winds will gust up to about 20 mph with lows in the teens
Thursday night and highs Friday in the upper 20s to around 30. These
readings are about 10 degrees below normal. Expect temperatures
Friday night to be a few degrees warmer Thursday night.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
Key Points:

* Below normal cold continues into Monday, with much of the interior
  remaining below freezing.

* Some moderation is expected for Tuesday after a warm frontal
  passage.

Low pressure passes south of the region this weekend. The low should
pass far enough south to keep conditions dry, however can not rule
out the possibility of some light precipitation reaching the
southern portions of the CWA. Will have some slight chance pops for
some light snow Saturday night. But for the most part, expect a dry
and cold weekend as high pressure remains over the area.  As the
high slides E Tuesday, a SW return flow should develop and a warm
front approach from the SW, bringing some precip, mostly as light
snow, but with perhaps a rain/snow mix or light rain across eastern
Long Island and SE CT.
