10/11/11 A whatchamacallit forecast, high elevation snow next week??

Crazy headline right?  A very interesting weather system hit Florida during the overnight Sunday into Monday morning with hurricane force wind gusts, high seas, coastal flooding, a foot of rain, yet officially it was nothing, meaning not a hurricane or tropical storm (as of yet). A good article was written here about it if you are interested.

This weather system, much weaker now will bring the chance for showers into the forecast for New England as it moves northward late Wednesday into Friday night.

High Pressure over Canada will keep us dry through Wednesday, however the effects of the winds around the high and the storm to the south will create an east wind off the ocean, allowing for cooler conditions than we have seen over the past few days.  The LOW over Saskatchewan will meet with the southern low to produce a period of rain for Thursday into Friday. The storm is a fast mover and will likely be out of the picture by Saturday.

Rain will be heavy over the next few days with up to 3" falling in some areas that do not need any more rainfall.

A look into a future forecast:

An extremely large storm system could possibly move out of Canada next week and produce the first significant Nor'easter for the winter season. Higher elevations in New England and New York could see their first snow falls. A lot can change in a week.
