Calling it a "big daddy" next week???

All I will offer is this: The overall trend is more in favor of cold than warm, and when the warmth has tried to intrude it has produced ice. But this is still New England and when it comes to weather, anything can happen here at any time.

This is from tonight's forecast discussion from NWS-Gray.

THE BIG CHANGE IN THE PATTERN FROM A COLD TROUGH TO MORE
SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES IS STILL EXPECTED TO OCCUR EARLY
NEXT WEEK. THIS CHANGE WILL BE DRIVEN BY A SHARP TROUGH CURRENTLY
IN THE GULF OF ALASKA. THE TROUGH WILL CUT ACROSS WESTERN CANADA
THIS WEEKEND THEN DIVE INTO THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY ON
MONDAY. THE SYSTEM ROLLS UP THE EASTERN SEABOARD ON TUESDAY...AND
THE MODELS ARE FORECASTING THE SURFACE CYCLONE TO TRACK WEST OF
THE AREA WHILE DEEPENING. A BIG SLUG OF PRECIPITATION...MUCH OF IT
IN THE FORM OF RAIN NEARER TO THE COAST...IS BEING FORECAST BY ALL
THE MEDIUM-RANGE MODELS BETWEEN MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY NIGHT.
WITH THE DEEPENING SYSTEM...WIND WILL ALSO BE A CONCERN. DRIER
WEATHER IS ANTICIPATED FOR WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY AS THE STORM
SYSTEM ROTATES INTO LABRADOR.
