Wednesday Forecast

7:32AM

NOTES…
* Been very sick so this particular forecast is really more an updated version of yesterday’s. Will add more in the comments today when I can.

* Will try to have the special blog out by tonight about my Blizzard of 1978 experience.

DAYS 1-5 (FEBRUARY 7-11)
No big changes to the messy storm coming today and departing tonight other than to just shave the top edge of the snowfall slightly for the timing of the warming and the speed of the storm. Otherwise here is an updated forecast…
WEDNESDAY: Thickening overcast. Snow (rain South Coast) arriving southwest to northeast late morning and midday then becoming heavy at times with a changeover line from sleet to rain progressing north northwestward into the I-95 belt during the course of the day with freezing rain and some significant icing in central MA and southern NH. Highs 28-35 except 35-42 South Coast. Wind E 5-15 MPH increasing to 10-20 MPH with a few higher gusts along the coast, and may become variable late in the day.
TONIGHT: Snow/mix northwest, rain elsewhere except continued icing central MA and southern NH, ending west to east evening. Snow/sleet accumulation for the event: nothing southeast of the Cape Cod Canal, coating to 2 inches Plymouth to New Bedford, 2-4 inches remainder of southeastern MA and northern RI to Boston’s immediate western suburbs up to Cape Ann, 4-6 inches I-95 belt north of the Mass Pike, 6-8 inches northwest of there with spot amounts up to 10 inches higher elevations north central MA and southwestern NH. Clearing overnight. Lows 22-28. Wind N 10-20 MPH.
THURSDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 28-35. Wind N 10-20 MPH.
FRIDAY & SATURDAY: Variably to mostly cloudy with a risk of a little light snow at times. Lows in the 20s. Highs in the 30s.
SUNDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of rain showers. Lows in the 30s. Highs in the 40s.

DAYS 6-10 (FEBRUARY 12-16)
Mild with unsettled weather mainly early in the period.

DAYS 11-15 (FEBRUARY 17-21)
A couple minor precipitation threats and a bit colder during this period.

Tuesday Forecast

7:20AM

DAYS 1-5 (FEBRUARY 6-10)
Disturbance crosses the region this morning from west to east with a touch of very light snow possible in a few locations. A stronger storm will rocket east northeastward through the region Wednesday, including a rain/sleet/snow line that we have been discussing. Looks like it starts as snow just about everywhere by late morning and midday except maybe mix/rain outer Cape Cod and Nantucket, then a line of sleet to rain progresses north northwestward from the South Coast into the I-95 belt and possibly a bit beyond at some point before the entire thing comes to an end from west to east in the evening. When it is snowing, it may come down at a rate of 1 to 2 inches per hour for a while, making travel very hazardous. Fair and cold weather is back for Thursday and another disturbance brings a risk of a touch of light snow later Friday and Saturday. Forecast details…
TODAY: Cloudy with patchy very light snow this morning. Clearing this afternoon. Highs 32-38. Wind SW under 10 MPH.
TONIGHT: Clear evening. Increasing clouds overnight. Lows 22-28. Wind light variable.
WEDNESDAY: Thickening overcast. Snow (mix South Coast) arriving southwest to northeast late morning and midday then becoming heavy at times with a changeover line from sleet to rain progressing north northwestward into the I-95 belt during the course of the day. Highs 28-35 except 35-42 South Coast. Wind E 5-15 MPH increasing to 10-20 MPH with a few higher gusts along the coast, and may become variable late in the day.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Snow northwest, mix/rain elsewhere, ending west to east evening. Snow/sleet accumulation for the event: coating to 2 inches Plymouth to New Bedford southeastward, 2-4 inches remainder of southeastern MA, most of RI, up to the immediate Boston area, 4-8 inches basically from NH Seacoast and Cape Ann southwestward down the I-495 belt through south central MA and the northwestern corner of RI, and 8-12 inches north central MA through southwestern and south central NH. Clearing overnight. Lows 22-28. Wind N 10-20 MPH.
THURSDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 28-35. Wind N 10-20 MPH.
FRIDAY & SATURDAY: Variably to mostly cloudy with a risk of a little light snow at times. Lows in the 20s. Highs in the 30s.

DAYS 6-10 (FEBRUARY 11-15)
Next storm system likely to track northwest of the region with a rain threat early in the period then some additional unsettled weather at times with some rain/snow/mix possible off and on during the balance of the period.

DAYS 11-15 (FEBRUARY 16-20)
A couple minor precipitation threats and a bit colder during this period.

Monday Forecast

7:44AM

DAYS 1-5 (FEBRUARY 5-9)
High pressure moves in today and hangs around through Tuesday. A storm moves rapidly into the region Wednesday before cold air has a chance to fully exit, and therefore will start as snow. A change to rain will occur in parts of the region with current thinking based on expected track of storm that the rain/snow line will move somewhere into the I-95 or I-495 belts north of Boston. This storm exits by early Thursday and the next disturbance is already on the way by late Friday. Forecast details…
TODAY: Partly cloudy to mostly sunny. Highs 35-42. Wind NW increasing to 15-25 MPH with higher gusts.
TONIGHT: Mostly clear to variably cloudy. Lows 12-18. Wind NW diminishing to under 10 MPH.
TUESDAY: Mostly cloudy to partly sunny. Highs 32-38. Wind light W to SW.
TUESDAY NIGHT: Increasing clouds. Lows 22-28. Wind light variable.
WEDNESDAY: Overcast. Snow arriving, changing to rain southern areas later in the day. Several inches of snow accumulation probable. Highs 28-35 north, 35-42 south. Wind E 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.
THURSDAY: Clearing. Lows in the 20s. Highs in the 30s.
FRIDAY: Increasing clouds. Lows in the 20s. Highs in the 30s.

DAYS 6-10 (FEBRUARY 10-14)
Additional unsettled weather for at least part of the February 10-11 weekend and another system may follow that. Too early for a rain/snow determination.

DAYS 11-15 (FEBRUARY 15-19)
Quieter and somewhat colder period of weather expected here.

Pattern quiets a little as it trends colder.

Friday Forecast

12:51AM

DAYS 1-5 (FEBRUARY 2-6)
A cold front charges offshore this morning. This particular front has a fair amount of moisture behind it in the cold air, hence a period of snow to cover things over in many areas and result in some slippery travel for commuters. As temperatures fall during the day, watch for some icy areas where snow doesn’t have a chance to melt and surfaces cannot dry, or on otherwise untreated surfaces. The cold air that moves in today will be around through Saturday night before we moderate Sunday, in time for the arrival of the next system which look like mainly rain after starting as snow showers during Sunday. Fair, colder weather will return behind this system early in the week, but by late Tuesday yet another system will be approaching as the pattern is active. Forecast details…
PRE-DAWN: Rain changing to snow west to east and snow may briefly be heavy in some areas. Temperatures cooling through 30s. Wind SW 5-15 MPH shifting to NW with higher gusts.
TODAY: Snow ending after a coating to 2 inches except 2-4 inches favoring higher elevations central MA and southwestern NH, then clearing progressing eastward by midday. Mostly sunny afternoon. Temperatures fall 30s to 20s. Wind NW 10-20 MPH, higher gusts.
TONIGHT: Clear. Lows 7-13. Wind NW 10-20 MPH, higher gusts. Wind chill 0 to -10 at times.
SATURDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 23-29. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
SATURDAY NIGHT: Increasing clouds. Temperatures steady 20s evening, rising to 30s overnight. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.
SUNDAY: Mostly cloudy. Scattered snow showers morning, rain showers afternoon. Highs 38-45. Wind SW 10-20 MPH.
MONDAY: Clearing. Lows from the middle 20s to lower 30s. Highs from the middle to upper 30s.
TUESDAY: Increasing clouds. Lows from the middle 10s to lower 20s. Highs in the 30s.

DAYS 6-10 (FEBRUARY 7-11)
Storm potential February 7 with snow/mix/rain to be determined by storm track. Fair, colder February 8-9. Next threat of precipitation at some point during the February 10-11 weekend.

DAYS 11-15 (FEBRUARY 12-16)
Active pattern brings another couple opportunities for precipitation and a trend toward colder weather.

Thursday Forecast

2:52AM

DAYS 1-5 (FEBRUARY 1-5)
February is here and the weather pattern will bring changing temperatures and a variety of weather during the first 5 days of the month, highlighted by a couple periods of snow and rain through early Friday, the snow favoring northern MA and southern NH this morning, the rain mainly during this evening, then a second period of snow as cold air flows in behind a cold front before the precipitation can end Friday. Arctic cold arrives later Friday and lasts through Saturday, but its stay will be brief as another front approaches and it warms up a bit ahead of it on Sunday. At the same time a strong disturbance will trigger a low pressure area to form and move up along the front as it barely gets offshore, but this system looks like it may track right along the coast or even into southern New England which will allow enough warming for a rain-dominated event for much of the region except mix/snow possible interior higher elevations. This being 4 days in the future we are left with typical uncertainty and the situation will be monitored. Forecast details…
TODAY: Mostly cloudy. A brief period of snow possible through mid morning, favoring northern MA and southern NH, accumulating a coating to 1 inch. Chance of rain showers late in the day. Highs 37-43. Wind W up to 10 MPH morning, SW 10-20 MPH afternoon.
TONIGHT: Cloudy. Rain arriving west to east late evening, turning to snow west to east toward dawn with minor accumulation likely. Lows 27-34. Wind SW 5-15 MPH shifting to NW.
FRIDAY: Cloudy start with snow ending after accumulating 1/2 to 2 inches, then decreasing clouds and increasing sun. Temperatures steady 27-34 early then falling through 20s by late day. Wind NW 10-20 MPH, higher gusts.
FRIDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 5-13. Wind NW 10-20 MPH, higher gusts. Wind chill below 0 at times.
SATURDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 24-30. Wind NW 5-15 MPH, higher gusts in the morning.
SUNDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of snow showers morning, rain showers afternoon, mix to rain at night. Lows in the 10s. Highs from the upper 30s to middle 40s late day or night.
MONDAY: Clearing and windy. Temperatures fall 40s to 20s.

DAYS 6-10 (FEBRUARY 6-10)
Unsettled weather threat between late February 6 to early February 8, precipitation type dependent on track of the system. Colder later in the period with a snow/mix risk by the end of the period as the active pattern continues.

DAYS 11-15 (FEBRUARY 11-15)
Another unsettled episode favoring the middle of this period with variable temperatures.

Wednesday Forecast

2:35AM

DAYS 1-5 (JANUARY 31-FEBRUARY 4)
On this final day of the first month of 2018, we stand about half way through a winter that was front loaded with cold and a fair amount of snow, though not excessive. If you happen to be reading this prior to 6:40AM, and provided you have an unobstructed view of the western horizon, you still have a chance to view the super blue blood moon, but I must qualify this. The “blood” part is only that, part, as in “partial”, as a lunar eclipse that will be total for the Pacific Ocean area will be just getting underway in the final ten or so minutes before setting, so you may barely notice a reddish tint to the moon as it begins to enter the earth’s shadow. These days, finding the best view online is easy, so some of you may be doing that – putting yourself in the area of best view, virtually. Looking forward, we will enter February in a weather pattern that will be dominated by colder than normal air and fairly frequent passing systems, some promising to deliver additional snow, though looking about as far ahead as I can I’m not seeing any strong signals of any blockbuster snowstorms. The next threat comes early Friday when a cold front passes and the rain showers that accompany it will evolve into a period of snow as moisture lingers behind the front as the cold air returns to the region. High pressure will move in behind this and bring dry and cold weather for Saturday. On its heals will come the next wave of low pressure on Sunday, probably tracking just north of the region but producing snow showers as the air will remain cold enough. Forecast details…
TODAY: Mostly sunny start then increasing clouds leading to a mostly cloudy finish. Highs 27-34. Wind NW 10-20 MPH early then diminishing.
TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Lows 21-27. Wind W under 10 MPH.
THURSDAY: Mostly cloudy. A brief period of snow possible through mid morning, favoring northern MA and southern NH. Chance of rain showers late in the day. Highs 37-43. Wind W up to 10 MPH morning, SW 10-20 MPH afternoon.
THURSDAY NIGHT: Cloudy. Rain arriving west to east late evening, turning to snow west to east overnight with minor accumulation likely. Lows 27-34. Wind SW 5-15 MPH shifting to NW.
FRIDAY: Cloudy start with snow ending as snow showers, then decreasing clouds and increasing sun. Temperatures steady 27-34 early then falling through 20s by late day. Wind NW 10-20 MPH, higher gusts.
SATURDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows from the upper 0s to middle 10s. Highs in the 20s.
SUNDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of snow showers. Lows in the 10s. Highs from the middle 20s to lower 30s.

DAYS 6-10 (FEBRUARY 5-9)
Watching a possible storm of snow and/or mix for early in the period and another threat of winter precipitation about February 7-8 as the pattern remains active. Temperatures near to below normal.

DAYS 11-15 (FEBRUARY 10-14)
Additional threats of winter precipitation come during this period as the pattern stays the same. Temperatures near to below normal.

Tuesday Forecast

7:33AM

DAYS 1-5 (JANUARY 30-FEBRUARY 3)
Always fun watching systems evolve and put more snow where you said less, or less snow where you said more, or both. Regardless, snowy morning, improvement this afternoon, and the active pattern sends the next event in here Thursday and early Friday in the form of a cold front. A significant shot of cold air awaits for the start of the weekend.
TODAY: Overcast with additional snow of 1/2 to 2 inches (1-4 total with isolated heavier) this morning. Breaking clouds this afternoon. Temperatures steady 26-32. Wind N 5-15 MPH gusting to 25 MPH. Minor to moderate coastal flooding at the time of high tide this morning.
TONIGHT: Clearing. Lows 12-17. Wind NW 5-15 MPH. Wind chill below 10 at times.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 28-34. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.
THURSDAY: Mostly cloudy. Scattered light rain/snow. Lows in the 20s. Highs from the middle 30s to lower 40s.
FRIDAY: Mostly cloudy with mix/snow showers morning. Partly cloudy afternoon. Temperatures starting out middle 30s to lower 40s, falling to the 20s by late.
SATURDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 10s. Highs in the 20s.

DAYS 6-10 (FEBRUARY 4-8)
Disturbances bring chance of snow or snow showers February 4, 6, and 8. Temperatures below normal.

DAYS 11-15 (FEBRUARY 9-13)
Active pattern with a couple more disturbances bringing precipitation chances. Temperatures near to below normal.

Monday Forecast

1:31AM

DAYS 1-5 (JANUARY 29-FEBRUARY 2)
Low pressure will develop and move northeastward along a frontal boundary offshore through early Tuesday. This will be a fast-moving wave of low pressure which will keep the bulk of its precipitation offshore, but not all of it, and a minor accumulating snow event will occur in southeastern MA. An upper level disturbance passes mainly south of the region Tuesday behind the departing low but may be close enough for a few snow showers. High pressure brings fair and cold weather for the final day of January on Wednesday. The next low pressure area will track north of the region Thursday and early Friday, dragging its warm front through the region Thursday and its cold front early Friday. This will not be a major event but will produce some light precipitation which may include some snow on Friday. Forecast details…
TODAY: Some morning sun possible north central MA and southern NH in the morning, otherwise cloudy. Late-day rain/snow arrives Cape Cod. Highs 34-49. Wind N to NE 5-15 MPH increasing to 10-20 MPH with higher gusts especially southeastern areas by late in the day.
TONIGHT: Overcast. Rain to snow eastern part of Cape Cod and Nantucket, snow western part of Cape Cod through southeastern MA and a lighter period of snow RI up the I-95 corridor. Snow accumulation 1-3 inches from Plymouth MA to New Bedford MA eastward to the Mid Cape region with a slight chance of an isolated 3-5 inch amount in there, and a coating to 1 inch east of there and in the I-95 corridor. Lows 26-31. Wind NE 5-15 MPH except 15-25 MPH with higher gusts Cape Cod.
TUESDAY: Variably cloudy. Slight chance of snow showers. Temperatures steady 26-31. Wind N 5-15 MPH gusting 20-25 MPH.
TUESDAY NIGHT: Clearing. Lows 12-17. Wind NW 5-15 MPH. Wind chill below 10 at times.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 28-34. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.
THURSDAY: Mostly cloudy. Scattered light rain/snow. Lows in the 20s. Highs from the middle 30s to lower 40s.
FRIDAY: Mostly cloudy with mix/snow showers morning. Partly cloudy afternoon. Temperatures starting out middle 30s to lower 40s, falling to the 20s by late.

DAYS 6-10 (FEBRUARY 3-7)
Disturbances bring chance of snow or snow showers February 4 and 6 otherwise mainly dry and on the cold side.

DAYS 11-15 (FEBRUARY 8-12)
Disturbances bring precipitation risks about every other day with temperatures near to below normal.

Sunday Forecast

11:40AM

DAYS 1-5 (JANUARY 28-FEBRUARY 1)
No significant changes on this post. A cold front pushed through the region and will settle to the south of the region and slow down as a wave of low pressure develops and moves along it, keeping the bulk of its precipitation offshore but tossing a little snow into southeastern MA for a period of time late Monday. An upper disturbance may produce a few snow showers Tuesday before high pressure moves in Wednesday for a cold/dry end to the month. A warm front will push into the region on Thursday with clouds but milder weather.
TODAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of rain showers South Coast through early afternoon. Highs 45-52. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Lows 28-35. Wind N 5-15 MPH.
MONDAY: Cloudy. Chance of mix/snow mainly late and night mainly southeastern MA, mix most likely at the onset. Highs 33-39. Wind N to NE 5-15 MPH.
MONDAY NIGHT: Cloudy. A period of snow southeastern MA with minor accumulation. Lows 25-32. Wind NE to N 5-15 MPH.
TUESDAY: Variably cloudy. Chance of snow showers. Highs 28-35. Wind N 5-15 MPH.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 10s. Highs from the lower to middle 30s.
THURSDAY: Mostly cloudy. Lows in the 20s. Highs from the middle 30s to lower 40s.

DAYS 6-10 (FEBRUARY 2-6)
Cold front pushes through the region Friday February 2 with a risk of rain showers turning to snow showers but will monitor in case a wave of low pressure enhances precipitation. Fair, cold Saturday February 3. A disturbance may bring a few snow showers Sunday February 4. Fair, cold Monday February 5. Looking at the risk of some snow by February 6 depending on the track of low pressure moving into the region.

DAYS 11-15 (FEBRUARY 7-11)
Expecting a battle between cold air from Canada and milder air in the southeastern US likely resulting in some unsettled episodes of weather here along with variable temperatures.

Saturday Forecast

9:36AM

DAYS 1-5 (JANUARY 27-31)
January’s final stretch is here – 5 days to go, and there will be several changes in the weather during this time. First, however, through mid morning watch for patches of black ice due to the formation of moisture on still below-freezing surfaces as milder air starts to arrive. This will vanish quickly later in the morning and we’ll have a mild, dry, and windy day with a strengthening southwesterly air flow. A cold front will cross the region Sunday with most of the rain shower activity in the morning and midday. Still watching for the formation of low pressure moving up along this boundary Monday and it still appears that the bulk of it will pass offshore late Monday, but not far enough to completely miss parts the region with a period of snow, as colder air will have moved in. The most likely area to see this is southeastern MA. An upper level disturbance may produce lingering snow showers Tuesday before high pressure moves in with a cold and more tranquil finish to the month on Wednesday. Forecast details…
TODAY: Mostly sunny morning. Partly sunny afternoon. Highs 45-52. Wind SW 5-15 MPH morning, 10-20 MPH gusting 25-35 MPH afternoon.
TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Chance of rain showers after midnight. Lows 40-45. Wind SW 10-20 MPH.
SUNDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of rain showers through early afternoon. Highs 45-52. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
SUNDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Lows 28-35. Wind N 5-15 MPH.
MONDAY: Cloudy. Chance of mix/snow mainly late and night mainly southeastern MA, mix most likely at the onset. Highs 33-39. Wind N to NE 5-15 MPH.
TUESDAY: Variably cloudy. Chance of snow showers. Lows from the lower to middle 20s. Highs from the upper 20s to lower 30s.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 10s. Highs from the lower to middle 30s.

DAYS 6-10 (FEBRUARY 1-5)
A warm front arrives February 1 with some cloudiness and milder air. A cold front swings through at some point February 2 which will be an unsettle day. The questions are the timing of the front and whether or not there will be a wave of low pressure coming up along the front. This will determine precipitation type and amount. Early call is a mild start with rain showers ending as snow showers but cannot rule out a period of steadier snow. Mostly fair and colder weather February 3-5 except a weak disturbance may produce a few snow showers about February 4.

DAYS 11-15 (FEBRUARY 6-10)
Looking for battle between cold air from Canada and milder air in the southeastern US likely resulting in some unsettled episodes of weather here along with variable temperatures.

Friday Forecast

7:25AM

DAYS 1-5 (JANUARY 26-30)
High pressure brings a tranquil winter’s day today then moves offshore and allows a warm-up for Saturday. After that, a cold front will move through Saturday night and Sunday with rain showers. This front will settle offshore Sunday night and low pressure will develop on it and pass southeast of New England Monday and Tuesday with some threat of precipitation at that time. It appears the bulk of the action may remain offshore but some upper level energy will hang back near the coast at least enough to produce snow showers. Will still have to watch the evolution of this as several scenarios are still possible, ranging from virtually no snow to a widespread episode of it. Forecast details…
TODAY: Sunny. Highs 28-35. Wind light N.
TONIGHT: Clear. Lows 10-15 interior rural areas, 15-20 elsewhere except 20-25 South Coast. Wind light variable becoming light SW.
SATURDAY: Mostly sunny morning. Partly sunny afternoon. Highs 45-52. Wind SW 5-15 MPH morning, 10-20 MPH gusting 25-35 MPH afternoon.
SATURDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Chance of rain showers after midnight. Lows 40-45. Wind SW 10-20 MPH.
SUNDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of rain showers through early afternoon. Highs 45-52. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
MONDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of mix/snow mainly afternoon and night. Lows from the upper 20s to middle 30s. Highs from the middle to upper 30s.
TUESDAY: Variably cloudy. Chance of snow showers. Lows from the lower to middle 20s. Highs from the upper 20s to lower 30s.

DAYS 6-10 (JANUARY 31-FEBRUARY 4)
Dry and cold January 31, milder February 1. Strong front brings rain showers February 2 which may end as mix/snow as it starts mild then turns colder. Fair, colder weekend of February 3-4.

DAYS 11-15 (FEBRUARY 5-9)
Looking for battle between cold air from Canada and milder air in the southeastern US likely resulting in some unsettled episodes of weather here along with variable temperatures. Fair too early for any deterministic details.

Thursday Forecast

7:42AM

DAYS 1-5 (JANUARY 25-29)
High pressure brings dry and cold weather today and Friday, then moves offshore to allow a warm up Saturday before a front arrives with a rain shower threat Sunday. This front will be not far offshore when it slows down Monday and we’ll have to watch an area of low pressure forming on it. If it’s close enough, a mix/snow threat will result. Leaning toward it being more offshore for now but it’s several days away so confidence is not too high.
TODAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 28-35. Wind NW 10-20 MPH with higher gusts.
TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 10-17. Wind NW to N 5-15 MPH
FRIDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 28-35. Wind N 5-15 MPH.
SATURDAY: Partly sunny. Lows in the 20s. Highs in the 40s.
SUNDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of rain showers. Lows in the 30s. Highs in the 50s.
MONDAY: Variably cloudy. Chance of mix/snow showers. Temperatures falling 40s to 30s.

DAYS 6-10 (JANUARY 30-FEBRUARY 3)
Risk of snow showers January 30 as a disturbance is nearby and dry January 31 as high pressure moves in, with cold weather expected. Moderating February 1-2 with a risk of unsettled weather by February 2, then turning dry/colder end of period.

DAYS 11-15 (FEBRUARY 4-8)
Temperatures near to below normal with 1 or 2 mix/snow threats possible.

Wednesday Forecast

7:39AM

DAYS 1-5 (JANUARY 24-28)
Watch for icy spots early to mid morning before sun, wind, and above freezing temperatures combine to eliminate it. Dry weather will dominate through Saturday with a trend to colder through Thursday, staying on the cold side Friday, then moderating as the weekend arrives. By Sunday, mild air will dominate and the next precipitation threat will be rain showers. Forecast details…
TODAY: Partly cloudy. Highs 35-42. Wind W 10-20 MPH with higher gusts.
TONIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 15-22. Wind NW 5-15 MPH with higher gusts.
