11:37AM

DAYS 1-5 (FEBRUARY 26-MARCH 2)
Windy, cool (really just seasonable but feeling cold compared to 3 days of record warmth just gone by), and dry today. Mild to briefly warm air returns early to mid week along with some unsettled weather Tuesday (warm front) and Wednesday (cold front). A transition to colder weather for a longer period of time begins Thursday.
TODAY: Sun and passing clouds. Highs 42-47. Wind W 15-25 MPH with higher gusts.
TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 21-26 interior, 27-32 coast. Wind W 5-15 MPH with higher gusts.
MONDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 52-57. Wind SW 5-15 MPH with higher gusts.
MONDAY NIGHT: Increasing clouds. Lows 32-37 interior, 37-42 coast. Wind light SW.
TUESDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of light rain mainly afternoon. Highs 48-55, coolest coastal areas. Wind light variable to SE.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly cloudy. PM rain showers. Lows 40-48. Highs 58-65.
THURSDAY: Partly cloudy. Windy. Temperatures fall 50s to 40s.

DAYS 6-10 (MARCH 3-7)
Near to below normal temperatures during this period with dry weather at the beginning of the period then periods of unsettled weather which may include rain, ice, and snow.

DAYS 11-15 (MARCH 8-12)
Similar pattern should continue with episodes of unsettled weather and near to below normal temperatures. Late season snow for at least parts of the region possible during this time.

11:08AM

DAYS 1-5 (FEBRUARY 25-MARCH 1)
Our anomalous warm stretch is about to come to an end, but a baby brother follow up is on the way. First one more very mild today today, not as sunny for most of the region as a lot more clouds will be around, but enough sun to boost temperatures over 60 away from where wind comes off the ocean water. A few showers may pop up during the day, but the main action will come with a cold front from west to east tonight. We’ll be watching a squall line march out of NY State into western New England. This will likely become less organized and weaken as it moves to the east but still some gusty showers and a rumble of thunder may occur. Snow will occur right behind the front in the mountains of western New England but that will not make it into southeastern New England. The colder air will, however, and though this is only a return to near to slightly above normal temperatures it will be a whole lot cooler than the last few days were, and the wind accompanying it will make you feel the difference on Sunday. The trade of will be plenty of sunshine. We go right back to milder weather, but not as warm as this current stretch, Monday through Wednesday. By Wednesday, the first day of March, a front in the area should be bringing us some unsettled weather again.
TODAY: Partly sunny to mostly cloudy. Isolated rain showers afternoon. Highs 51-59 South Coast, 60-68 elsewhere. Wind SE to S 10-20 MPH with higher gusts.
TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Numerous rain showers and possible thunder west to east across the region between 7PM and midnight (possibly a little later Cape Cod). Temperatures in the 50s early, falling to 40s overnight. Wind S to SW 15-30 MPH with higher gusts.
SUNDAY: Sun and passing clouds. Temperatures steady in the 40s. Wind W 15-25 MPH with higher gusts.
SUNDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 23-31. Wind W 5-15 MPH with higher gusts.
MONDAY: Mostly sunny to partly cloudy. Highs 48-57. Wind W 5-15 MPH with higher gusts.
TUESDAY: Partly sunny to mostly cloudy. Lows 28-37. Highs 50-58.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of rain. Lows 33-40. Highs 47-55.

DAYS 6-10 (MARCH 2-6)
Colder with 1 or 2 snow/ice/rain threats during this time.

DAYS 11-15 (MARCH 7-11)
Colder pattern continues. Watching for additional rain/ice/snow threats during this time as well.

7:18AM

DAYS 1-5 (FEBRUARY 24-28)
So we get to the final 5 days of February, and we start with a “frontal failure” forcing me to adjust the temperature for Friday to warmer. The cold front does make it into the region but only about as far south as northern MA before lifting back to the north during the day. Showers near the boundary will occur mostly in the morning in southern NH and northern MA, and some sunshine is expected to return after a cloud-dominated beginning to the day, although once again some low cloudiness may try to hang in along the South Coast. The remainder of the forecast is similar as we’ll still see a low pressure system track through the Great Lakes and into southeastern Canada with a push of warm air from the south ahead of a strong cold front which will turn it considerably cooler for Sunday and Monday. I’m still a little uncertain on how the next system impacts the region but current thinking is a warm front approaches Tuesday with a mix/rain threat.
TODAY: Mostly cloudy morning including a period of scattered rain showers northern MA and southern NH. Partly cloudy afternoon. Highs 47-56 immediate coastal areas, coolest along the South Coast, 57-64 elsewhere with a few warmer readings interior MA. Wind variable up to 10 MPH morning, SE to S 5-15 MPH afternoon.
TONIGHT: Partly to mostly cloudy. Patchy fog/drizzle late. Lows 45-53. Wind SE to S 5-15 MPH.
SATURDAY: Mostly cloudy. Patchy drizzle/fog possible southern and eastern areas mainly morning. Scattered rain showers mid to late afternoon. More humid. Highs 53-60 South Coast, 60-67 elsewhere. Wind S to SW 5-15 MPH increasing to 10-20 MPH with higher gusts late.
SATURDAY NIGHT: Cloudy through 3AM with scattered rain showers early then a band of rain/thunderstorms west to east later. Pre-dawn clearing. Temperatures steady 53-63 then quick drop to 40s pre-dawn. Wind S to SW 15-25 MPH and gusty shifting to W pre-dawn.
SUNDAY: Sun and passing clouds. Temperatures steady in the 40s. Wind W 15-25 MPH with higher gusts.
MONDAY: Sunshine and high clouds. Lows 22-30. Highs 38-45.
TUESDAY: Cloudy. Chance of mix/rain/ Lows 25-32. Highs 38-45.

DAYS 6-10 (MARCH 1-5)
Changeable weather to start off March, likely a mild and wet March 1 as low pressure passes north of the region, followed by windy/colder/dry weather March 2. Will watch for a disturbance that may bring a threat of some rain/ice/snow March 3-4 followed by improving weather.

DAYS 11-15 (MARCH 6-10)
Continuing to watch this period for colder weather and some threat of rain/snow/ice.

7:43AM

DAYS 1-5 (FEBRUARY 23-27)
A southwesterly air flow will bring anomalous warmth to the region today, though this air coming off the waters just south of New England will keep the South Coast a little cloudier and cooler than areas further to the north. Then, a weak cold front drops down from the north tonight into Friday and cools the warmest areas off some, along with introducing more cloudiness and perhaps a few rain showers. During this time a low pressure area will be moving into the Great Lakes and a weaker low will be drifting northeastward in the water south to southeast of New England. This complex cast of characters will combine to create a cloudy Friday night and mainly cloudy Saturday. Another push of very mild air will take place ahead of the cold front trailing the Great Lakes low, which will bring a band of rain and possible thunderstorms west to east across the region Saturday night. Before that happens, areas of drizzle and patchy light rain will prevail Friday night and Saturday morning. Behind the cold front, Sunday will be blustery and colder day with dry weather. Another system may approach the Great Lakes Monday returning some clouds to the region.
TODAY: Fog patches vanish early and sun dominates but low clouds at times near the South Coast. Highs 50-58 South Coast, 58-67 elsewhere though a couple locations may approach 70. Wind S to SW 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Partly to mostly cloudy. Lows 45-53. Wind SW 5-15 MPH becoming light variable.
FRIDAY: Mostly cloudy. Isolated rain showers. Highs 50-58 but may fall into the 40s southeastern NH and northeastern MA. Wind variable 5-15 MPH.
FRIDAY NIGHT: Cloudy. Areas of drizzle and fog. Chance of light rain. Lows 40-48. Wind light SE.
SATURDAY: Cloudy. Areas of drizzle and fog with a chance of light rain morning and midday. Numerous rain showers and possible thunderstorms west to east end of day into the night. Highs 52-57 South Coast, 58-65 elsewhere but may not occur until late. Wind SE to S 5-15 MPH morning, S to SW 10-20 MPH with higher gusts afternoon.
SUNDAY: Sun and passing clouds. Windy. Temperatures fall through 40s.
MONDAY: Sun followed by clouds. Lows 22-30. Highs 38-45.

DAYS 6-10 (FEBRUARY 28-MARCH 4)
Colder, a couple periods of precipitation should be minor.

DAYS 11-15 (MARCH 5-9)
Chilly pattern some unsettled weather which may include snow/ice. Low confidence forecast.

7:39AM

DAYS 1-5 (FEBRUARY 22-26)
No changes at this time. The warmer pattern continues for a few more days then a knock down back toward reality by late in the weekend. Will expand on this discussion this afternoon.
TODAY: Mostly cloudy start, then increasing sun later. Highs 50-58. Wind light variable.
TONIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 38-45. Wind light SW.
THURSDAY: Partly cloudy. Highs 50-58 immediate coast especially South Coast, 59-67 elsewhere. Wind SW to S 5-15 MPH.
THURSDAY NIGHT: Partly to mostly cloudy. Lows 42-50. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.
FRIDAY: Mostly cloudy. Slight chance of rain late in the day. Highs 52-60. Wind W 5-15 MPH shifting to N.
SATURDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of light rain/drizzle with patchy fog morning. Chance of rain showers and thunderstorms late day and evening from west to east. Lows 44-52. Highs 55-65, coolest South Coast.
SUNDAY: Partly cloudy. Windy. Temperatures fall through the 40s.

DAYS 6-10 (FEBRUARY 27-MARCH 3)
Unsettled weather at times as temperatures try to transition from mild to colder again. Will work on the details of this period.

DAYS 11-15 (MARCH 4-8)
Looking like a colder period of weather with a risk of some rain/mix/snow at times.

7:32AM

DAYS 1-5 (FEBRUARY 21-25)
High pressure hangs on today then slides to the east as a Pacific cold front approaches from the west then passes through the region tonight bringing a minor amount of rain with some freezing rain over the interior where it is cold enough. Then the story is the mild air for midweek, especially Thursday, when some record high temperatures may be challenged. Another cold front passes through Thursday night and cools it down slightly for Friday, but clouds will dominate and as the front tries to return as a warm front, some wet weather is possible later Friday. A stronger low pressure area will track through the Great Lakes and drag a cold front toward the region Saturday with wet and mild weather ahead of it.
TODAY: Sunshine followed by increasing clouds. Highs 38-45. Wind light S.
TONIGHT: Cloudy. Chance of a couple periods of light rain except freezing rain central MA and south central NH. Lows 30-38 early then rising slowly overnight. Wind SW 5-15 MPH
WEDNESDAY: Mostly cloudy. Highs 47-55. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
THURSDAY: Partly sunny. Lows 38-46. Highs 57-65.
FRIDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of rain late. Lows 30-38. Highs 45-52.
SATURDAY: Mostly cloudy. Rain showers likely. Lows 40-48. Highs 57-64.

DAYS 6-10 (FEBRUARY 26-MARCH 2)
Dry, colder February 26. Unsettled weather February 27-28 with a likely Great Lakes Cutter low pressure system. Fair and colder behind this may be quickly followed by a threat of rain/ice/snow at the very end of the period.

DAYS 11-15 (MARCH 3-7)
Colder with another threat of rain/snow/ice during this period.

7:31AM

DAYS 1-5 (FEBRUARY 20-24)
High pressure to the north delivers a chilly northerly wind for this Presidents Day and a cold night tonight as it noses down across southern New England and sets up radiational cooling as some snow cover remains in the area. A weak disturbance will approach from the west later Tuesday and may bring some patchy rain and interior freezing rain Tuesday evening. Though clouds will be more dominant than sun, we should see dry weather and mild air around for the middle of the week Wednesday and Thursday. By Thursday night, another cold front will take the edge off the very mild air for the end of the week, though temperatures will remain above normal.
TODAY – PRESIDENTS DAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 37-44. Wind N 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 11-17 interior valleys, 18-26 elsewhere. Wind light variable.
TUESDAY: Sunshine followed by increasing clouds. Highs 38-45. Wind light S.
TUESDAY NIGHT: Cloudy. Chance of brief light rain except freezing rain central MA and south central NH evening. Lows 30-38 early then rising slowly overnight. Wind SW 5-15 MPH
WEDNESDAY: Mostly cloudy. Highs 47-55. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
THURSDAY: Partly sunny. Lows 38-45. Highs 55-63.
FRIDAY: Mostly cloudy. Lows 30-38. Highs 45-52.

DAYS 6-10 (FEBRUARY 25-MARCH 1)
Low pressure likely cuts through the Great Lakes and passes north of New England with a mild wet February 25 followed by a windy, colder, and drier February 26 behind a cold front. Another system may take a similar track February 27-28 with rain favored over snow before it turns colder behind this system for the arrival of March.

DAYS 11-15 (MARCH 2-6)
The pattern is slightly indeterminate but the early indications are for a switch to colder weather overall and a storm threat of rain/mix/snow for a portion of this period.

1:43PM

DAYS 1-5 (FEBRUARY 19-23)
We’ll have a mild time! The above normal temperature pattern is here and will continue through the next several days. A very mild Sunday will be followed by a cooler Monday (Presidents Day) but not significantly cold. Temperature rebound through midweek. The only issue will be the threat of a little rain and freezing rain Tuesday night from a weak disturbance passing by.
THIS AFTERNOON: Partly cloudy. Highs 48-56. Wind W 10-20 MPH, higher gusts.
TONIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 26-33. Wind NW 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.
MONDAY – PRESIDENTS DAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 37-44. Wind NW 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.
TUESDAY: Sun followed by clouds. Risk of light rain / ice at night. Lows 18-25. Highs 38-45.
WEDNESDAY: Clouds followed by sun. Chance of rain showers early. Lows 30-38. Highs 50-58.
THURSDAY: Partly cloudy. Lows 30-38. Highs 50-58.

DAYS 6-10 (FEBRUARY 24-28)
A mild start and colder finish to this period with some unsettled weather, mainly rain showers, in between.

DAYS 11-15 (MARCH 1-5)
March begins colder with at least one threat of rain/mix/snow in the first several days of the month.

8:44AM

DAYS 1-5 (FEBRUARY 18-22)
A milder weekend is underway, but if your weekend extends through Monday Presidents Day, then that part of it will be a little colder in the wake of a north-to-south-moving cold front and high pressure building across eastern Canada and nosing southward. The dry weather will last through Tuesday but a rain or snow shower may pass through the region Wednesday with a weak disturbance, if it has enough moisture to work with.
TODAY: Partly sunny. Highs 43-50. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 25-33. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.
SUNDAY: Partly sunny. Highs 47-54. Wind SW 10-20 MPH with higher gusts.
MONDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows 30-38. Highs 39-46.
TUESDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows 10-18. Highs 37-44.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of rain/snow showers. Lows 25-32. Highs 38-45.

DAYS 6-10 (FEBRUARY 23-27)
Fair and mild early in the period. Episodes of wet weather and continued mild for the middle to end of the period.

DAYS 11-15 (FEBRUARY 28-MARCH 4)
Trending colder. A mix/snow event may occur in the first few days of March.

7:22AM

DAYS 1-5 (FEBRUARY 17-21)
Shhhhh. The mini-trantrum the weather pattern threw has worn it out and basically put it to sleep. That nap will last through this 5-day period with dry weather, and only temperature changes, from a breezy chill today to a warming trend Saturday and Sunday, then a colder Presidents Day Monday into Tuesday as a cold front slips down from the north and Canadian high pressure builds to the north of New England.
TODAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 33-40. Wind W 10-20 MPH with higher gusts.
TONIGHT: Variably cloudy. Lows 17-25. Wind WSW 5-15 MPH.
SATURDAY: Partly sunny. Highs 43-50. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.
SATURDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 25-33. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.
SUNDAY: Partly sunny. Highs 47-54. Wind SW 10-20 MPH with higher gusts.
MONDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows 30-38. Highs 39-46.
TUESDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows 10-18. Highs 37-44.

DAYS 6-10 (FEBRUARY 22-26)
Fair and milder early in the period. Episodes of wet weather and continued mild for the middle to end of the period.

DAYS 11-15 (FEBRUARY 27-MARCH 3)
A mainly dry pattern expected but a trend back to colder weather is expected.

7:31AM

DAYS 1-5 (FEBRUARY 16-20)
The latest bout of wintry weather, confined mainly to eastern MA and parts of southern NH northward, will move out during today, and then comes the proof that the comparisons to 2015 were just plain silly. Get ready for a long period of tranquil late winter weather with just some temperature changes depending on positioning of high pressure areas that will be dominant. See if you can follow along…
TODAY: Mostly cloudy to partly sunny. Snow showers in eastern areas ending by midday with minor additional accumulation possible. Highs 33-40 Wind NW 10-20 MPH with higher gusts.
TONIGHT: Partly cloudy to mostly clear. Lows 12-20. Wind NW 5-15 MPH with higher gusts.
FRIDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 29-37. Wind W 5-15 MPH with higher gusts.
FRIDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 10-18. Wind light W.
SATURDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 38-46. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
SUNDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows 20-28. Highs 44-52.
MONDAY – PRESIDENTS DAY: Mostly sunny. Lows 22-30. Highs 35-43.

DAYS 6-10 (FEBRUARY 21-25)
Current indications are that high pressure will remain dominant early to mid period with some unsettled weather later in the period. Temperatures near to above normal.

DAYS 11-15 (FEBRUARY 26-MARCH 2)
A mainly dry pattern but trending cooler.

7:34AM

DAYS 1-5 (FEBRUARY 15-19)
No significant changes. Low pressure approaches and moves through the region today and tonight but the 2 main pieces of energy don’t link up until east of the Gulf of Maine. We do catch some of the back lash from this system tonight and early Thursday but the major impact from it will be limited to Maine where more significant snow is likely. A more tranquil period of weather follows this with a cold start to it and a warm-up following.
TODAY: Mostly cloudy. A few periods of snow/sleet/rain. Highs 35-42. Wind SW 10-20 MPH shifting to NW late.
TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Snow showers, but a period of snow may bring 1-3 inches to far northeastern MA and southeastern NH. Lows 22-30. Wind NW 10-20 MPH.
THURSDAY: Partly cloudy. Scattered snow showers. Highs 33-40.
FRIDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows 8-15. Highs 25-32.
SATURDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows 8-15. Highs 35-42.
SUNDAY: Partly cloudy. Lows 25-32. Highs 47-54.

DAYS 6-10 (FEBRUARY 20-24)
Above normal temps overall, warmest to start the period. Next storm threat mid to late period likely rain versus snow but will watch it.

DAYS 11-15 (FEBRUARY 25-MARCH 1)
Mainly dry or minor weather systems but a colder trend possible toward the end of the period.

7:26AM

DAYS 1-5 (FEBRUARY 14-18)
High pressure dominates today with dry weather. Low pressure approaches and moves through the region Wednesday and Wednesday night but the 2 main pieces of energy don’t link up until east of the Gulf of Maine, so we’re looking at a much weaker system than the last one. Upper level low pressure may kick off a few snow showers Thursday otherwise drier and colder for the end of the week but a quick warm-up starts on Saturday.
TODAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 28-35. Wind NW 5-15 MPH shifting to W.
TONIGHT: Increasing clouds. Chance of snow before dawn. Lows 18-25. Wind light SW.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly cloudy. A few periods of snow/sleet/rain. Highs 35-42. Wind SW 10-20 MPH shifting to NW late.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Snow showers, but a period of snow may bring 1-2 inches to far northeastern MA and southeastern NH. Lows 22-30. Wind NW 10-20 MPH.
THURSDAY: Partly cloudy. Scattered snow showers. Highs 33-40.
FRIDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows 8-15. Highs 25-32.
SATURDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows 8-15. Highs 35-42.

DAYS 6-10 (FEBRUARY 19-23)
Above normal temps overall, warmest to start the period. Next storm threat late in the period likely rain versus snow but will watch it.

DAYS 11-15 (FEBRUARY 24-28)
Unsettled weather early to mid period favoring rain/mix as pattern will be milder.

7:50AM

DAYS 1-5 (FEBRUARY 13-17)
Storm departs today with lingering backlash snow northeastern MA and southeastern NH this morning to about midday with wind picking up, again strongest along the coast. Dry and cold interlude for Tuesday. Next system comes through Wednesday with some snow/mix, but not a major storm as it will be a weaker system and not phase up with other energy until beyond the region. This allows dry weather to return late week.
TODAY: Snow with additional minor accumulation morning-midday northeastern MA and southeastern NH otherwise overcast, breaking and thinning with time with some sun possible later. Highs 28-35. Wind NW increasing to 15-25 MPH inland, 25-35 MPH coast, with gusts as high as 45-60 MPH strongest along the coast.
TONIGHT: Clearing. Lows 15-22. Wind NW 15-25 MPH with higher gusts, diminishing overnight.
TUESDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 28-35. Wind NW 5-15 MPH shifting to W.
TUESDAY NIGHT: Increasing clouds. Chance of snow before dawn. Lows 18-25. Wind light SW.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly cloudy. A few periods of snow/sleet/rain. Highs 35-42. Wind SW 10-20 MPH shifting to NW late.
THURSDAY: Partly cloudy. Lows 18-25. Highs 35-42.
FRIDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows 8-15. Highs 25-32.

DAYS 6-10 (FEBRUARY 18-22)
A warming trend with mainly dry weather then a risk of unsettled weather returning at the very end of the period.

DAYS 11-15 (FEBRUARY 23-27)
Unsettled weather early to mid period favoring rain/mix as pattern will be milder.

12:18PM

DAYS 1-5 (FEBRUARY 12-16)
The latest winter storm is upon us, and we’ll get right to it. There is pretty much no change to how I described the situation evolving yesterday. Low pressure moves just south of New England and then rapidly intensifies in the waters just to the east before moving away. We have precipitation today with a rain/snow line which will waver around, stretching from near Boston to RI, keeping southeastern MA including Cape Cod in rain for the bulk of the main part of the storm. A southeastward movement of this line in response to advancing cold air as the storm develops offshore will take place. And the wild card continues to be the amount of back-lash snow behind the storm Monday. The greatest risk of seeing significant snow from this continues to be in areas of northeastern MA to southeastern NH with the Boston area more on the edge. The strong winds will occur and will be most powerful near the east coastal areas including Cape Cod (see below for details on winds and snow accumulations). We will discuss the term “blizzard” in the comments below. Behind this, we’re still looking at a dry and chilly Valentine’s Day Tuesday. The midweek storm threat looks to me like a fairly minor event in comparison to the current one, with a progressive system coming through with snow or snow showers early Wednesday. I’m not totally confident on this yet and will re-evaluate this as we go forward. Looks like dry and colder weather by Thursday if this scenario plays out.
THIS AFTERNOON: Snow and rain, with the line between then from near or just south of Boston to southern RI, possibly moving a little to the northwest. Temperatures generally steady from the 20s northwest of Boston to the 30s to the southeast. Wind E to NE 5-15 MPH interior and 10-20 MPH coast but increasing late in the day.
TONIGHT: Storm continues with snow northwest, rain southeast, and the rain/snow line slowly making its way southeastward, lastly crossing Cape Cod by around dawn. Temperatures steady 20s northwest and 30s southeast evening, falling slowly overnight. Wind E to NE in southern areas, NE to N in northern areas, increasing to 15-25 MPH but gusts over 40 MPH near the coast and over 50 MPH Cape Cod area by morning.
MONDAY: Snow morning and midday will be steadiest and heaviest in eastern MA (favoring northeastern MA) and southeastern NH. Snow exits by afternoon, lastly on Cape Cod. Overcast may thin with sun trying to come out by later in the day. Blowing snow reducing visibility at times. Total storm accumulation for snow 1-3 inches Cape Cod, 2-4 inches southern portion of South Shore to southern RI, 4-8 inches from Providence RI area up to Boston, 6-10 inches northwestern RI through south central MA up to Boston’s immediate western and northern suburbs, 8-12 inches north central MA and southwestern NH, 10-15 inches Merrimack Valley to northeastern MA and southeastern NH with a slight risk of a few spotty above 15-inch amounts near Cape Ann MA to the NH Seacoast. Temperatures fall slowly to upper 10s northwest of Boston and 20s to the southeast. Wind N to NW 25-35 MPH with gusts 40-50 MPH interior, 50-65 MPH eastern coastal areas, with an isolated gust above 65 MPH possible Cape Cod.
MONDAY NIGHT: Clearing. Lows 10-16 central MA and southwestern NH, 16-22 elsewhere. Wind NW diminishing to 10-20 MPH with lingering higher gusts.
TUESDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 28-35. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly cloudy with snow/mix possible morning. Partly sunny afternoon with a chance of snow showers. Lows 15-22. Highs 30-38.
THURSDAY: Partly cloudy. Windy. Lows 10-18. Highs 25-32.

DAYS 6-10 (FEBRUARY 17-21)
Weather pattern quiets down with a cold start then some moderation.

DAYS 11-15 (FEBRUARY 22-26)
Unsettled weather returns during this period with a couple rain/snow threats.
