The next 36 hours will be a transition period between an exiting cold front and another approaching cold front presently over the Great Plains. The departure of the first front will permit gradual clearing during the day today, with fog followed by overhead clouds thinning out as the afternoon progresses. Once the sun breaks through these obstructions, temperatures will respond by soaring above the freezing mark. This will allow for a fairly significant period of melting today. Little cooling is expected during the night as overhead clouds return, keeping overnight low temperatures extremely mild for mid-March. However, temps will at the very least dip below freezing, causing all of the day's melt to refreeze over top of the remaining snow pack. Overcast skies will linger tomorrow ahead of a more potent cold front with its sights set on New England. As the instability of the front enters the picture, clouds will descend towards the summits as fog. However, with most of the impressive dynamics of this system held up north of the region, little to no precipitation is expected with this frontal passage. Any precipitation that does fall will be light and showery in nature, and will most likely consist of a wintry mix of ice pellets and snow.
