7:16AM

DAYS 1-5 (JANUARY 19-23)…
Lesson learned (by me): I still can’t forecast inverted trough precipitation very well. Will work on it. Lesson not learned (by media in general): Saying too much about threats that are greater than a few days away will almost always come back to bite you. Not always, but almost always. And it may happen again. Firstly, the well-advertised cold is now here and will remain, accompanied by wind, for 2 more days, and then it will remain cold but with less wind on Thursday. The big question continues to be what happens with the storm potential for the end of the week. You all know my approach is a wait-and-see one, look at the data, ingest it but don’t choke on it, digest it but don’t let it cause you heartburn. It’s just a scientific process. Sometimes it works great, and sometime not so much. Either way, I will employ it. Though we are still 4 to 5 days out from this potential event, I’m starting to see more evidence that the main focus of that storm system will be over the Mid Atlantic, with a lesser impact up here in southeastern New England. The orientation of the steering currents in this continued split flow may end up taking the system more east than north. That does not remove us in southern New England from its threat, but instead of staring down the barrel of the cannon, we may be looking more at the side of it. Will continue to monitor…
TODAY: Partly cloudy. Highs 18-25. Wind NW 15-25 MPH, gusting over 30 MPH. Wind chill often near 0.
TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 5-10 except 10-15 urban areas and coastline. Wind NW 10-20 MPH and gusty. Wind chill often near 0.

DAYS 6-10 (JANUARY 24-28)…
Chance of snow showers January 24. Fair January 25. Risk of unsettled weather January 26-27. Improving weather January 28. Variable temperatures, not far from normal.

DAYS 11-15 (JANUARY 29-FEBRUARY 2)…
Fair, briefly colder early period then warming trend. Risk of unsettled weather end of period.

7:21AM

DAYS 1-5 (JANUARY 18-22)…
The tricky trough produced a good swath of 2-6 inches of snow across much of eastern MA and nearby areas overnight but it is winding down first thing tomorrow and only passing snow showers are possible during the day as Arctic air arrives from the west. The rest of the forecast is unchanged from yesterday. By the end of the week we’ll be watching the approach of a storm from the southwest which threatens to bring a more significant winter weather event here.
TODAY: Mainly cloudy morning with snow ending but a few additional snow showers possible. Partly to mostly sunny but isolated snow showers still possible this afternoon. Temperatures fall through the 20s. Wind variable early but becoming W increasing to 15-30 MPH with higher gusts midday through afternoon.

TUESDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs around 20. Wind NW 15-25 MPH, higher gusts.
WEDNESDAY: Sunny. Lows 0-10. Highs in the 20s.
THURSDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows 0-10. Highs in the 20s.
FRIDAY: Increasing clouds. Chance of snow/mix at night. Lows in the 10s. Highs in the 30s.

DAYS 6-10 (JANUARY 23-27)…
Storm threat for January 23 with any combination of precipitation possible depending on storm track. Even a pass of the storm mostly out to sea to the south still possible. Improving weather January 24. Fair January 25. Risk of unsettled weather January 26-27.

DAYS 11-15 (JANUARY 28-FEBRUARY 1)…
Mainly fair weather, variable temperatures but an overall milder trend for this period.

8:08AM

DAYS 1-5 (JANUARY 17-21)…
Sneaky snow coming? Not if you see it coming. It’s become apparent that a small, well-placed inverted trough will create some snow in the region tonight as a developing ocean storm heads out to sea just southeast of New England, and a disturbance in the polar jet stream approaches from the west, taking along an Arctic boundary. This quick-hitting snow event may leave some accumulation and then it may be added to slightly but a batch of snow showers/squalls with the Arctic boundary, which will lead the coldest air of the season so far into the region later Monday. This very cold air mass will hang around into midweek before easing slightly.
TODAY: Increasing clouds. Highs in the 30s. Wind NW to N up to 10 MPH.
TONIGHT: Cloudy. Snow developing with 1 to 3 inches possible. Locally heavier amounts also possible. Snow mixed with rain on parts of the South Shore to Cape Cod early before becoming snow. Lows in the 20s. Wind N 5-15 MPH.
MONDAY: Variably cloudy morning with snow showers likely – additional minor snow accumulation possible. Partly cloudy to mostly sunny afternoon with isolated snow showers. Temperatures fall into the 10s. Wind variable up to 10 MPH early becoming W 5-15 MPH but gusty in passing snow showers then NW increasing to 15-30 MPH with gusts 35-45 MPH during the afternoon.
TUESDAY: Mostly sunny. Windy. Lows 0-10. Highs 15-25.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows 0-10. Highs in the 20s.
THURSDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows 0-10. Highs 25-35.

DAYS 6-10 (JANUARY 22-26)…
Continuing to watch a storm threat for late January 22 into January 23 which may bring significant snow to at least parts of the region. Too early to be sure if/where mix/rain gets involved. Something to watch. Fair, windy, colder January 24. Fair and more tranquil January 25. Next unsettled weather threat may arrive by January 26.

DAYS 11-15 (JANUARY 27-31)…
A storm system may impact the region to start the period followed by period of fair weather with a couple quick air mass changes in the final days of the month.

8:51AM

DAYS 1-5 (JANUARY 16-20)…
The Saturday storm is ongoing and behaving about as expected. A decent batch of moderate to heavy rain is crossing a good portion of southeastern New England in response to a deepening low pressure area passing just southeast of New England, many times a track that would produce significant snow in January. But on this occasion, the combination of warm ocean water, too-warm upper levels, and mild air already in place below that is preventing snow. However, there has been just enough cold air left at the ground mainly in valley areas well northwest of Boston for some patches of freezing rain. Finally, colder air will start to work down from above into the area that precipitation forms in areas north and west of Boston toward the end of the precipitation, that is cold enough to support snow with intensity, however this will take place just as the precipitation is getting set to pull out of here, which will limit any snow accumulation to a slushy inch in the higher terrain of north central MA and south central NH (with more to the west of there in the mountains of southwestern NH). Colder air will filter in tonight and Sunday behind this system but it won’t be until Monday morning with a passing arctic cold front brings much colder air in. This front, with its small parent low crossing northern New England, may produce a batch of snow showers and snow squalls that may lead to some quick but minor accumulation. Timing of this system and its potential snow showers will be critical for people traveling on Monday. The good news is, Monday being a holiday for many means that the morning commute will be quite light, in terms of traffic volume. Either way, the very cold air takes hold Monday and lingers into the middle of next week.
TODAY: Cloudy. Rain, heavy at times, diminishing rapidly from southwest to northeast during midday. Patches of freezing rain likely for a while this morning interior valleys well northwest of Boston. Precipitation turning to wet snow before ending in parts of the region northwest of Boston with up to an inch in highest elevations, and perhaps flakes in the air and a slushy coating in portions of east central to northeastern MA. Highs 35-40 northwest of Boston, 40-45 Boston to Providence, 45-50 Cape Cod. Wind NE to N 10-20 MPH except 20-30 MPH Cape Cod, with higher gusts, shifting to NW and eventually W and diminishing to 5-15 MPH later.
TONIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows in the 20s. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
SUNDAY: Partly sunny. Highs in the 30s. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
MONDAY: Windy. Variably cloudy with snow showers and snow squalls, most numerous early. Temperatures fall into the 10s.
TUESDAY: Windy. Mostly sunny. Lows 0-10. Highs 15-25.
WEDNESDAY: Breezy. Mostly sunny. Lows 0-10. Highs in the 20s.

DAYS 6-10 (JANUARY 21-25)…
Dry and cold January 21. Continuing to watch a storm threat that falls in the January 22-23 time frame. Currently, computer guidance shows a variety of solutions during this time so will just leave the vague outlook as is and continue to watch. Fair weather returns January 24-25 with a seasonable chill.

DAYS 11-15 (JANUARY 26-30)…
A trend toward milder temperatures, though still variable, as a storm threat exists for around January 27-28. Plenty of uncertainty normally this far out and even more so at this time.

7:29AM

DAYS 1-5 (JANUARY 15-19)…
Carrying yesterday’s ideas forward but making an adjustment regarding Sunday/Monday. In summary… Cloudiness dominates today as the air mass warms. Storm moves by very quickly Saturday morning and early afternoon a weakening low passing far to the northwest while a stronger low passes southeast of Cape Cod, but in a mild air mass we’ll see rain from this across the area with the exception of patches of freezing rain possible in interior valleys of north central MA and southern NH for a brief time. Additional storm development will take place well to the southeast Sunday as cold air returns Sunday and is reinforced Monday and Tuesday, including a disturbance Monday which may ignite snow showers/squalls.
TODAY: Mostly cloudy. Highs 37-44. Wind S up to 10 MPH.
TONIGHT: Cloudy. Rain arriving south to north overnight, may begin as freezing rain interior valleys of southern NH and north central MA. Lows 30-37. Wind S to SE 5-15 MPH.
SATURDAY: Cloudy. Rain ending south to north by early afternoon. Highs in the 40s. Wind E to NE 10-20 MPH interior areas and 15-30 MPH along the coast with higher gusts Cape Cod, shifting to N then NW later in the day and diminishing slightly.
SUNDAY: Mostly cloudy. Lows in the 20s. Highs in the 30s.
MONDAY: Sun and clouds. Chance of snow showers. Windy. Temperatures fall from the 20s to the 10s.
TUESDAY: Mostly sunny. Windy. Lows 0-10. Highs 15-25.

DAYS 6-10 (JANUARY 20-24)…
Windy/cold/dry January 20. Tranquil but cold January 21. Storm threat later January 22 into January 23. Fair and cold January 24.

DAYS 11-15 (JANUARY 25-29)…
Fair and milder early period. Risk of a fast-moving system bringing mix/rain mid period. Fair and colder late period.

7:22AM

DAYS 1-5 (JANUARY 14-18)…
A weak disturbance means clouds and a little light snow this morning before more sunshine returns. Warming of the air mass both at the surface and aloft brings more cloudiness later tonight and Friday. Our well-advertised “separated storm” blows through Saturday morning with rain, maybe some mix in north central MA and southern NH for a short while. Another piece of energy coming along the jet stream late Sunday may produce a touch of light snow or snow showers as it will have turned colder during Sunday. A shot of very cold air arrives Monday along with wind.
TODAY: Mostly cloudy with some very light to light snow around parts of the region this morning possibly leaving a light dusting then turning mostly sunny midday and afternoon. Highs 28-35. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Partly to mostly cloudy. Lows 18-25. Wind light SW.
FRIDAY: Mostly cloudy – some limited sun. Highs 37-44. Wind S up to 10 MPH.
SATURDAY: Cloudy. Morning and midday rain, possibly some mixed precipitation far northwest of Boston. Lows in the 30s. Highs in the 40s.
SUNDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of a little light snow at night. Temperatures cool through the 30s.
MONDAY: Sun and clouds. Chance of snow showers. Windy. Lows in the 10s. Highs in the 20s.

DAYS 6-10 (JANUARY 19-23)…
Windy/cold/dry January 19-20. Tranquil but cold January 21. Storm threat later January 22 into January 23.

DAYS 11-15 (JANUARY 24-28)…
A more quiet pattern arrives for this period, starting cold followed by a milder trend. One passing storm system, likely rain, may occur about mid period.

3:26AM

DAYS 1-5 (JANUARY 13-17)…
El Nino continues to rule. And the pattern remains very progressive with distinctive split jet streams that don’t want to get together. We’ll be ruled by the polar jet stream for the next few days with a shot of very cold air today, a weak disturbance possibly producing a few snow flurries Thursday, then a warming atmosphere by Friday. When we make it to the weekend, a pair of low pressure areas, one coming along the polar jet into the Great Lakes and another evolving quickly in the subtropical jet stream over the southeastern US will remain largely separate as they move northeastward. They will make a feeble attempt to join via the upper air but will fail in completely doing so. We here in southeastern New England will be caught in a zone between the two, though the storm from the subtropical jet may be close enough to bring some gusty wind Saturday. The precipitation associated with the passage of this unsettled weather will likely be largely in the form of rain, though some mix is possible. By Sunday, colder air will return as the storms depart via the northwestern Atlantic and eastern Canada.
TODAY: Sun and passing clouds. Highs 25-32. Wind W 15-30 MPH gusting 35-45 MPH.
TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 14-21. Wind W 10-20 MPH gusting 25-35 MPH.
THURSDAY: Partly sunny. Chance of snow flurries. Highs 28-35. Wind W 10-20 MPH.
FRIDAY: Variably cloudy. Lows in the 20s. Highs 35-45.
SATURDAY: Mostly cloudy. Windy. Mix/rain mostly morning to midday. Lows in the 30s. Highs in the 40s.
SUNDAY: Variably cloudy. Windy. Chance of snow showers. Lows in the 20s. Highs in the 30s.

DAYS 6-10 (JANUARY 18-22)…
Dry and cold January 18-20. Fair and milder January 21. Risk of unsettled weather returning January 22.

DAYS 11-15 (JANUARY 23-27)…
Storm risk January 23-24. Fair weather returns January 25-27.

7:32AM

DAYS 1-5 (JANUARY 12-16)…
TODAY: Clouding over. Precipitation arriving late day as rain coast and Boston area southward, mix or snow to the northwest. Highs 35-42. Wind SW to S 5-15 MPH with higher gusts.
TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Rain/mix ending as snow to the southeast, mix to snow Boston area northwest, all ending by midnight. Snow accumulation of up to 1 inch possible northwest of Boston with an isolated heavier amount possible in north central MA and southwestern NH, but generally trace amounts to coatings elsewhere. Lows in the 20s. Wind shifting to W 10-20 MPH with higher gusts.
WEDNESDAY: Partly cloudy and windy. Isolated snow showers. Temperatures steady in the 20s. Wind W 15-25 MPH with higher gusts.
THURSDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 10s. Highs around 25-35.
FRIDAY: Partly cloudy. Lows in the 20s. Highs 35-45.
SATURDAY: Rain/mix likely. Lows in the 30s. Highs 35-45.

DAYS 6-10 (JANUARY 17-21)…
Mainly dry with temperatures variable, coldest during the middle of the period.

DAYS 11-15 (JANUARY 22-26)…
Watch for a storm threat around the middle of the period. Variable temperatures averaging near to slightly above normal.

7:31AM

DAYS 1-5 (JANUARY 11-15)…
Changing weather the next few days as wind/cold/dry today is followed by a clipper system and unsettled weather later Tuesday, then another windy/cold Wednesday and a more tranquil Thursday and Friday with a cold Thursday and slightly milder Friday.
TODAY: Sunshine and a few passing clouds. Highs in the 30s. Wind W 15-25 MPH gusting over 30 MPH.
TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 15-20 except 20-25 Cape Cod and Islands as well as urban centers. Wind W diminishing to 5-15 MPH.
TUESDAY: Clouding over. Precipitation arriving late day into evening as mix to snow northwest of Boston, rain to mix ending as snow Boston southeast. Snow accumulation of up to 1 inch possible northwest of Boston with an isolated heavier amount possible in north central MA and southwestern NH, but generally trace amounts to coatings elsewhere. Highs in the 30s. Wind SW to S 5-15 MPH with higher gusts.
WEDNESDAY: Partly cloudy and windy. Isolated snow showers. Lows in the 10s. Highs around 30.
THURSDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 10s. Highs around 30.
FRIDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 20s. Highs around 40.

DAYS 6-10 (JANUARY 16-20)…
Unsettled weather possible during the weekend of January 16-17 with timing not certain and precipitation type also somewhat uncertain, but favoring rain versus snow based on the thought that systems will remain fairly weak and we won’t see a merger of the polar and subtropical jet streams. Dry and colder January 18-20.

DAYS 11-15 (JANUARY 21-25)…
Dry and milder early in the period. Watch for a storm threat later in the period.

7:37AM

DAYS 1-5 (JANUARY 10-14)…
A stormy Sunday! Strong low pressure tracks well northwest of the region today and tonight but a tight wind gradient means strong wind and plenty of moisture and mild air coming up with the system means some heavy rain. The strongest wind gusts from the southeast today will occur over Cape Cod, Nantucket, and east and south facing shores of the remainder of southeastern New England. Once the cold front of this system pulls through during this evening, the rain will shut off and the wind will shift. Colder air will flow in quickly but a gusty wind, having shifted to the west, will dry out much of the ground before the rainwater on it can freeze, other than in areas where there are deeper puddles, so by morning watch for some ice patches. The daytime of Monday will be fair, windy, and cold. A clipper system from Canada arrives via the Great Lakes later Tuesday then redevelops in the Gulf of Maine Tuesday night and early Wednesday. This system will bring some snow or snow showers to the region with minor accumulation at best before exiting and reinforcing the cold for midweek.
TODAY: Overcast. Periods of rain into late morning then widespread rain, heavy at times, and embedded thunderstorms midday on. Highs 48-55, may reach the upper 50s in parts of southeastern and eastern MA. Wind SE increasing to 10-20 MPH with gusts 30-50 MPH inland and 20-30 MPH with gusts 40-60 MPH coast. Strongest winds late in the day.
TONIGHT: Rain ends west to east early, a few rain showers may linger briefly, otherwise clearing. Lows 25-32. Wind shifting to W 15-30 MPH with higher gusts.
MONDAY: Mostly sunny to partly cloudy. Highs in the 30s. Wind W 15-30 MPH with higher gusts.
TUESDAY: Increasing clouds. Chance of snow or snow showers late day and night. Lows 15-22. Highs 25-32.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly cloudy with snow showers early, then partly sunny. Lows 20-27. Highs 28-35.
THURSDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 10s. Highs in the 20s.

DAYS 6-10 (JANUARY 15-19)…
Fair and cold January 15-16. Storm threat for later January 17 into January 18 looks minor at this time as it appears systems in the northern and southern jet streams will not interact completely until they pass by, but will watch closely. Fair and cold January 19.

DAYS 11-15 (JANUARY 20-24)…
Fair and milder January 20-22, colder January 23. Watch for the next storm threat late in the period.

9:03AM

DAYS 1-5 (JANUARY 9-13)…
Onshore flow at low levels as weakening system above it passes by today, meaning damp and grey, though some inland areas are cold enough to support a little very light frozen precipitation this morning. Stronger storm passes through the Great Lakes and up the St. Lawrence Valley Sunday and Sunday night, and for this area that means a period of moderate to heavy rain, mild air, and strong, gusty wind. Windy/colder/drier behind this system Monday. Next disturbance may bring some snow showers late Tuesday and early Wednesday, but will be progressive enough that when it redevelops into a strong storm offshore Wednesday, it will be too far away to deliver meaningful snow.
TODAY: Cloudy. An area of light rain/mix north and west of Boston for a while in the morning, otherwise patchy drizzle. Highs 38-45. Wind E up to 10 MPH.
TONIGHT: Cloudy. Areas of drizzle. Temperatures steady 38-45. Wind light SE.
SUNDAY: Cloudy. Rain and embedded thunderstorms developing west to east morning, ending west to east late day. Highs 48-55, coolest valleys of southern NH and north central MA. Wind SE to S increasing to 15-25 MPH with gusts over 30 MPH common and gusts over 40 MPH possible.
MONDAY: Sun/clouds. Windy. Lows in the 20s. Highs in the 30s.
TUESDAY: Increasing clouds. Possible snow showers at night. Lows in the 10s. Highs in the 20s.
WEDNESDAY: Variably cloudy. Possible snow showers early. Lows in the 10s. Highs in the 20s.

DAYS 6-10 (JANUARY 14-18)…
Dry and cold January 14-16. Storm threat later January 17 into January 18 but far too early for detail. General pattern favors this system being too far south for major impact but will keep an eye on it.

DAYS 11-15 (JANUARY 19-23)…
Pattern turns fairly quiet with seasonable to mild temperatures dominant.

10:39AM

DAYS 1-5 (JANUARY 8-12)…

DAYS 11-15 (JANUARY 18-22)…
Watch for risk of rain or snow early in the period, otherwise mainly dry weather with variable temperatures.

7:40AM

DAYS 1-5 (JANUARY 7-11)…
High pressure brings fair weather today. Onshore wind brings in clouds and a risk of drizzle and freezing drizzle Friday. A weakening disturbance passes by early Saturday and then a stronger low tracks northwest of the region Sunday, making the weekend more unsettled. Cold air mass arrives Monday.
TODAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 40-47. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 25-32. Wind light variable.
FRIDAY: Mostly cloudy. Areas of drizzle and freezing drizzle possible. Highs in the 30s.
Wind NE 5-15 MPH.

A system from the southwest brings a chance of light precipitation late on January 12 to early January 13 followed by drier and colder later January 13 through January 16.

DAYS 11-15 (JANUARY 17-21)…
Watch for risk of rain or snow around the middle of the period, otherwise mainly dry weather with variable temperatures.

7:27AM

DAYS 1-5 (JANUARY 6-10)…
No significant changes. High pressure in control keeps it dry with moderating temperatures the next few days. A weakening disturbance passes by early Saturday and then a stronger low tracks northwest of the region Sunday, making the weekend more unsettled.
TODAY: Sunny. Highs 38-45. Wind WSW 5-15 MPH.

SUNDAY: Cloudy. Periods of rain. Lows in the 30s. Highs in the 50s.

DAYS 6-10 (JANUARY 11-15)…
Windy, colder, drier January 11. A system from the southwest brings a chance of light precipitation late on January 12 to early January 13 followed by drier and colder later January 13 through January 15.

DAYS 11-15 (JANUARY 16-20)…
Watch for risk of rain or snow around the middle of the period, otherwise mainly dry weather with variable temperatures.

7:28AM

DAYS 1-5 (JANUARY 5-9)…
Arctic chill today, and this time there WILL be sunshine in most of the region, although some ocean-effect snow showers will continue over Cape Cod and the Islands, gradually diminishing. High pressure that builds across the region for one more very cold night tonight then slips offshore with fair weather and not as cold for midweek. Wednesday nights low temperatures will be similar to today’s high temperatures, giving you an idea of the moderation upcoming, which will continue into late week, and set the stage for the first of 2 disturbances coming, the first of which will pass through from the southwest early Saturday with light mix/rain.
TODAY: Clouds and snow showers Cape Cod / Islands with some additional light snow accumulation likely. Mostly sunny elsewhere. Highs 20-27. Wind N 10-20 MPH, higher gusts possible.
TONIGHT: Clearing Cape Cod / Islands. Clear elsewhere. Lows 5-10 interior, 10-15 coast. Wind light NW.
WEDNESDAY: Sunny. Highs 38-45. Wind WSW 5-15 MPH.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 20-27. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.
THURSDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 40-47. Wind SW 10-20 MPH.
FRIDAY: Increasing clouds. Late night mix possible. Lows in the 20s. Highs in the 40s.
SATURDAY: Cloudy with light mix/rain possible morning. Partial clearing afternoon. Lows in the 30s. Highs in the 40s.

DAYS 6-10 (JANUARY 10-14)…
Second of two disturbances brings a chance of rain later January 10 as mild air dominates. Windy, cooler, drier January 11. A system from the southwest brings a chance of light precipitation late on January 12 to early January 13 followed by drier and colder later January 13 through January 14.

DAYS 11-15 (JANUARY 15-19)…
Mainly dry weather. Looks like only weak systems may bring scattered rain/snow showers while more important storms miss to the south as a split jet stream flow dominates and the streams stay separated. Temperatures variable, averaging near to slightly above normal.
