DAYS 1-5 (FEBRUARY 7-11)…
This update will nix in-depth discussion and save it for comments below as information comes in today. Overall, we’re still looking at a nice day today with plenty of sun and snow-melting, above-freezing temperatures. Clouds come in late from 2 directions: a high cloud shield from the south ahead of a developing ocean storm, and a band of clouds from the north along the leading edge of colder air, a cold front, which may trigger a snow shower in southern NH and northern MA by evening. The storm developing offshore will grow into a large-sized and very powerful ocean storm, but its orientation and size will be enough to throw moisture in the form of accumulating snow back into southeastern New England Monday. We’ll continue to watch the interaction of pieces of energy in a larger scale low pressure trough Tuesday-Thursday with additional opportunities for snow possible. At this time it looks like a second system may deliver a period of snow early Wednesday to parts of southern New England, but again timing and location of any snow area is uncertain, so just follow later updates.
TODAY: Sunshine much of the day, fading late behind advancing high clouds from the S, and also some cloudiness arriving in southern NH and northern MA from the north at the end of the day. Highs 38-45. Wind SW up to 10 MPH.
TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Chance of a snow shower southern NH to northern MA early. Snow developing southeastern MA and southern RI overnight. Lows in the 20s. Wind NW to NE 5-15 MPH with higher gusts.
MONDAY: Cloudy. Snow expanding northwestward across the region and continuing much of the day before becoming more intermittent and scattered at night. Blowing snow likely. UPDATED ACCUMULATION FORECAST… 4-8 inches except 8-14 inches in portions of southeastern MA and under 4 inches in north central MA and southwestern NH and under 8 inches outer Cape Cod and Nantucket. Temperatures steady in the 20s but may reach the 30s for a while immediate coast south of Boston and Cape Cod / Islands, before falling later. Wind NE 15-30 MPH with higher gusts especially coastal areas and southeastern MA. Blizzard conditions may exist in these areas for a few hours.
TUESDAY: Partial clearing but snow showers possible during the day/evening. Cloudy with a risk of snow returning overnight. Lows around 20. Highs around 30.
WEDNESDAY: Cloudy with a chance of snow morning. Variably cloudy with a chance of snow showers afternoon. Lows around 20. Highs around 30.
THURSDAY: Variably cloudy. Chance of snow showers. Lows around 20. Highs in the 30s.

DAYS 6-10 (FEBRUARY 12-16)…
Clipper system brings a chance of light snow later February 12 with seasonably cold air expected. Secondary Arctic front may deliver snow showers February 13 otherwise windy and turning much colder. Very cold, windy, and fair February 14. Moderating temperatures but snow risk increases February 15-16.

DAYS 11-15 (FEBRUARY 17-21)…
Overall drier weather though weak systems may produce passing snow showers at times. Temperatures near to slightly above normal for the period.

2:36AM

OVERVIEW…
We’re reaching a point in the ENSO cycle where El Nino is in its early stages of losing its grip on the weather, but not quite enough yet to completely let go. This is one of the reasons for a see-saw regime we’ll be in during the month of February, which started off quite warm (Boston being about 15F warmer than average for the first several day), will turn much colder for the coming week overall before moderating, only to head back to the cold side beyond mid month.

DAYS 1-5 (FEBRUARY 6-10)…
Watch for icy ground if you are going to be out in the early to mid morning hours today. Untreated surfaces will likely be icy! As it warms above freezing during the day and is dry, the icy areas will melt then likely dry off, though some remaining damp or wet spots that don’t dry off may re-freeze tonight. During this weekend a wave of low pressure will pass well north of the region and a weak disturbance trailing from it will bring some cloudiness today and again later Sunday. After this, a complex weather situation evolves in which a broad trough of low pressure takes up residence along the East Coast and a series of storms results over a fairly short period of time. Currently, the thought process is that the first of these will evolve into a large ocean storm Sunday night and Monday, moving a pretty good distance south and east of New England, but the storm bring large enough to toss back some moisture for at least snow showers and perhaps a period of steadier snow. As this system moves out, a second storm is expected to develop and track closer to the coast. It is unclear at this point how quickly this storm intensifies and its exact track and configuration. Therefore, the only thing that can be said with any reasonable amount of confidence at this point is that there will be a chance of snow/mix/rain for at least parts of the region for a portion of Tuesday into Wednesday. Much fine-tuning will be needed in the coming few days.
TODAY: Sunshine starts and ends the day but is interrupted in between by a period of cloudiness. Highs 33-40. Wind SW 5-15 MPH with higher gusts.
TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 15-20 interior valleys, 20s elsewhere. Wind light W.
SUNDAY: Mostly sunny to partly cloudy. Highs 35-42. Wind W 5-15 MPH becoming variable.
SUNDAY NIGHT: Increasing clouds. Lows 18-25. Wind N to NE 5-15 MPH.
MONDAY: Cloudy. Chance of snow or snow showers. Highs 25-32.
TUESDAY: Cloudy. Chance of snow/mix/rain. Lows in the 20s. Highs in the 30s.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of snow showers. Lows 15-25. Highs 25-35.

DAYS 6-10 (FEBRUARY 11-15)…
Cold with possible snow showers February 11. A clipper system may bring some snow or snow showers later February 12 into early February 13 followed by a blast of Arctic air February 13 into early February 14. Moderating temperatures but with a chance of snow/mix February 15, based on current medium range timing.

DAYS 11-15 (FEBRUARY 16-20)…
The colder pattern eases up and temperatures become more variable but mostly near to slightly above normal. A possible snow/mix event exits early in the period and another disturbance may follow that up rather quickly with additional precipitation chances.

7:24AM

DAYS 1-5 (FEBRUARY 5-9)…
An active period of weather with today’s event, a big ocean storm missing, and another storm threat later in the period. Will skip the detailed discussion and just re-update the forecast, focused on today’s event and adding the outlook going forward. More on upcoming events in an extra post this evening.
TODAY: Cloudy through mid afternoon with snow except rain/mix turning to snow west to east Cape Cod and Islands, accumulations generally 4-8 inches with a locally higher amount possible, except 2-4 inches most of Cape Cod and 1-2 inches Nantucket and outer Cape Cod. Clearing late in the day with best chance of sunshine from Boston westward very late. Temperatures steady in the 30s, lowest northwest of Boston, highest Cape Cod. Wind NE to N 10-20 MPH with higher gusts.
TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows in the 20s. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.
SATURDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs in the 40s. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
SUNDAY: Partly sunny. Chance of snow showers. Lows in the 20s. Highs in the 30s.
MONDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of snow showers. Lows in the 20s. Highs in the 30s.
TUESDAY: Cloudy with snow/mix/rain possible. Lows in the 20s. Highs in the 30s.

DAYS 6-10 (FEBRUARY 10-14)…
Windy and colder with snow showers possible February 10. Fair and cold February 11. Clipper system brings a risk of snow showers February 12. Fair and very cold February 13-14.

DAYS 11-15 (FEBRUARY 15-16)…
A little uncertainty this period. Variable temperatures. Risk of snow/mix February 15-16 then mainly fair weather returning.

3:29PM

DAYS 1-5 (FEBRUARY 4-8)…
As we fine-tune the upcoming event we find a westward shift, enough to bring heavier snow into the I-95 belt. This is due to a 20 to 40 mile westward shift in the position of the front and track of the low pressure area developing along it – a rather small distance in the grand picture but in this case it has big impacts on the location of heavier snowfall. So this update takes that into account and adjusts for it. The remainder of the forecast below is largely unchanged at this time. Will update that on the next post…
THROUGH EVENING: Mostly cloudy. Temperatures cooling into the 40s. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Mainly cloudy. Rain/mix developing south to north overnight, changing to snow by dawn except only mixing with snow on the immediate South Shore though Cape Cod and the South Coast. Lows in the 30s. Wind NW to N 5-15 MPH.
FRIDAY: Cloudy through early afternoon with snow except rain and snow mixed South Shore through Cape Cod, accumulations under 1 inch outer Cape Cod and Nantucket, 1-3 slushy inches remainder of Cape Cod, South Shore of MA and South Coast of MA including southern RI, 3-6 inches elsewhere except an area of 6-9 inches along the I-95 belt from northeastern MA to north central RI. Clearing during the afternoon. Temperatures steady in the 30s, lowest northwest of Boston, highest Cape Cod. Wind NE to N 10-20 MPH with higher gusts.
SATURDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 20s. Highs in the 40s.
SUNDAY: Partly sunny. Chance of snow showers. Lows in the 20s. Highs in the 30s.
MONDAY: Increasing clouds. Lows in the 20s. Highs in the 30s.

DAYS 6-10 (FEBRUARY 9-13)…
A trough of low pressure will remain in the area February 9 with additional storm development possible. Rain/mix/snow (depending on development and track) is possible on February 9. Windy and colder with snow showers possible February 10. Fair and cold February 11. Smaller system may bring some mix/snow February 12, reinforcing cold air for the end of the period.

DAYS 11-15 (FEBRUARY 14-18)…
Mostly fair weather with temperatures below normal to start the period then recovering to closer to normal.

7:27AM

DAYS 1-5 (FEBRUARY 4-8)…
Trying to fine-tune this forecast as a frontal boundary sits just offshore through early Friday, cold air slowly works in, and low pressure ripples move along the front. The final ripple will bring the threat of some accumulating snow to eastern and southeastern MA as well as RI early Friday, with a fairly sharp cut-off between accumulating snow and no snow at all. Current thinking places this line near the MA/NH border near the Merrimack River southwestward along the I-495 area and down to about northwestern RI. The greatest chance for significant snow will be interior southeastern MA where the combination of the coldest air and the heaviest precipitation is expected. This is not going to be a major snowstorm, but the timing is not the greatest as areas that do get the steadiest snow will likely have it occurring during commute time on Friday morning. Conditions will improve quickly Friday afternoon. Before all of this happens, the mild air that came in during Wednesday will hang around for much of Thursday. Additional patches of light rain are possible in RI, eastern MA, and southeastern NH during Thursday morning before it tries to clear out for a while ahead of the Friday morning event. By the time we get to the weekend, we’ll have a seasonably chilly and dry Saturday. A cold front will drop through the region from northwest to southeast Sunday, possibly producing a few snow showers, and reinforcing some colder air. Monday, the cold air will be established and an ocean storm will evolve but likely remain offshore far enough to spare this region impact.
TODAY: Mainly cloudy morning with additional rain RI through southeastern MA and a few rain showers elsewhere. Partial sun possible afternoon. Highs in the 50s through midday then cooling off slowly. Wind SW 5-15 MPH shifting to NW.
TONIGHT: Mainly cloudy. Rain/mix developing south to north overnight, changing to snow by dawn. Lows in the 30s. Wind NW to N 5-15 MPH.
FRIDAY: Cloudy through midday with snow, accumulating 1-3 inches except less than 1 inch northwest of I-495 north of the Mass Pike and 3-6 inches from the South Shore to eastern RI. A very small area of over 6 inches is possible interior southeastern MA. Clearing afternoon. Temperatures steady in the 30s. Wind N to NW 5-15 MPH with higher gusts.
SATURDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 20s. Highs in the 40s.
SUNDAY: Partly sunny. Chance of snow showers. Lows in the 20s. Highs in the 30s.
MONDAY: Increasing clouds. Lows in the 20s. Highs in the 30s.

DAYS 6-10 (FEBRUARY 9-13)…
A trough of low pressure will remain in the area February 9 with additional storm development possible. Rain/mix/snow (depending on development and track) is possible on February 9. Windy and colder with snow showers possible February 10. Fair and cold February 11. Smaller system may bring some mix/snow February 12, reinforcing cold air for the end of the period.

DAYS 11-15 (FEBRUARY 14-18)…
Mostly fair weather with temperatures below normal to start the period then recovering to closer to normal.

7:32AM

DAYS 1-5 (FEBRUARY 3-7)…
Low pressure tracks northwest of New England as it heads into Canada through tonight. A surge of mild air moves up from the south ahead of it with gusty winds and eventual rain including some downpours. The low’s cold front gets offshore but not that far before hanging up. A ripple of low pressure will move up along the front Thursday night and early Friday, close enough for a grazing of rain/snow over Cape Cod and southeastern MA. The weekend will be mostly fair and turning colder. A cold front passing by on Sunday may produce a few rain and snow showers.
TODAY: Cloudy. A chance of light rain northwest of Boston by midday but rain more likely a band moving from west to east mid to late afternoon. Highs in the 50s but for some areas not until late in the day. Wind SE to S 10-20 MPH with higher gusts.
TONIGHT: Cloudy. Rain likely, including embedded downpours and a slight chance of thunderstorms, diminishing west to east overnight. Temperatures may rise toward 60 at first then lows in the 40s late. Wind S to SW 15-25 MPH with higher gusts, shifting to W toward dawn.
THURSDAY: Partly sunny. Rain may linger outer Cape Cod firs thing in the morning. Highs in the 50s. Wind W 10-20 MPH with higher gusts.
FRIDAY: Chance of rain/snow Cape Cod and southeastern MA early, otherwise mostly cloudy start then clearing with sun returning. Lows in the 30s. Highs in the 40s.
SATURDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 20s. Highs in the 40s.
SUNDAY: Partly cloudy. Chance of a few rain and snow showers. Lows in the 20s. Highs 35-45.

DAYS 6-10 (FEBRUARY 8-12)…
Unsure of details at this time, but a colder period of weather and a couple potential storms may impact the region. Will work on timing and refine this outlook.

DAYS 11-15 (FEBRUARY 13-17)…
Indications are for below normal temperatures but drier weather during this time.

7:29AM

DAYS 1-5 (FEBRUARY 2-6)…
Groundhogs may be searching for shadows this morning but we’re searching for what the weather will really be, and the computer models may be more confused than any groundhog will be. Inconsistency in model runs leads me to leave ideas generally the same going forward today. The only adjustment will be to slightly slow the timing of the front coming through Wednesday.
TODAY: Mostly sunny. Highs in the 40s. Wind light variable.
TONIGHT: Increasing clouds. Lows around 40. Wind SE 5-15 MPH.
WEDNESDAY: Cloudy. Rain showers likely in the afternoon. Highs in the 50s. Wind SE 10-20 MPH with higher gusts, shifting to SW late.
THURSDAY: Early rain Cape Cod. Clearing west to east. Lows around 40. Highs around 50.
FRIDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows around 30. Highs around 40.
SATURDAY: Partly cloudy. Lows in the 20s. Highs in the 30s.

DAYS 6-10 (FEBRUARY 7-11)…
A few snow shower possible with the passage of a cold front sometime on February 7. Fair and slightly colder weather is expected for February 8 and 9. A storm threat exists for the region with a risk of rain and snow about February 10-11.

DAYS 11-15 (FEBRUARY 12-16)…
Additional unsettled weather possible around the middle of the month with a better chance for snow than we’ve seen many times previously. Temperatures near to below normal. This outlook is still fairly low confidence at this time.

7:27AM

DAYS 1-5 (FEBRUARY 1-5)…
The month has changed but the ideas remain generally the same. A mild southwesterly air flow will dominate today ahead of a cold front. This front may set off a few rain showers by this evening as it crosses southeastern New England. Behind the front, a small area of high pressure will bring fair and slightly cooler weather in for Tuesday, though temperatures will still be on the warm side of average. The front returns as a warm front Wednesday, and eventually we’re in the warm sector again, but this time with a much better chance for more widespread wet weather as a cold front approaches from the west. Behind this front it turns cooler and drier for Thursday, though still not too cold at first. It does continue to get colder into Friday but at this time it looks like a wave of low pressure developing on the offshore front will remain too far to the east to have an impact.
TODAY: Sun gives way to clouds. Scattered late-day rain showers. Highs in the 50s. Wind SW 10-20 MPH.
TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy evening with a few rain showers around followed by clearing overnight. Lows in the 30s. Wind W 5-15 MPH with higher gusts.
TUESDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs in the 40s. Wind light variable.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly cloudy. Rain showers likely. Lows in the 40s. Highs in the 50s.
THURSDAY: Partly cloudy. Lows in the 30s. Highs in the 40s.
FRIDAY: Coastal clouds, inland sun. Lows in the 20s. Highs in the 30s.

DAYS 6-10 (FEBRUARY 6-10)…
Current indications are that storminess will evolve mainly over the ocean early to mid period, not impacting southeastern New England. A cold front will drop down from Canada on February 7 and may cause some snow showers. Fair and slightly colder weather is expected for February 8 and 9. A storm threat exists for the region with a risk of rain and snow about February 10.

DAYS 11-15 (FEBRUARY 11-15)…
The trend is for colder weather. Still watching for a storm threat somewhere in the February 12-14 period but this is a very low confidence outlook at this time.

2:46AM

DAYS 1-5 (JANUARY 31-FEBRUARY 4)…
A mild southwesterly air flow will dominate today into Monday as January turns to February. A cold front may set off a few rain showers later Monday and will knock the temperature down only slightly for Tuesday, which will be a fair weather day as a sliver of high pressure slides across the Northeast. Warmer air will move in during Wednesday but may take a while to reach the entire area as we’ll need to get that front back through as a warm front. Finally a warm surge will flood the entire region but will be accompanied by wet weather as numerous rain showers line up along and ahead of a cold front. This front will pass through the region from west to east late Wednesday, bringing drier and cooler weather back by Thursday.
TODAY: Partly sunny. Highs 47-54. Wind SW 5-15 MPH with higher gusts.
TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Lows 33-40. Wind SW 5-15 MPH with higher gusts.
MONDAY: Variably cloudy. Chance of rain showers in the afternoon. Highs 48-55.
TUESDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 30s. Highs in the 40s.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly cloudy. Rain showers likely. Lows in the 40s. Highs in the 50s.
THURSDAY: Partly cloudy. Lows in the 30s. Highs in the 40s.

DAYS 6-10 (FEBRUARY 5-9)…
An offshore low pressure area should stay far enough out to sea to leave the region dry February 5. Unsettled weather develops over the weekend of February 6-7, but is more likely during February 7. Rain or snow is possible. February 8 turns dry but likely windy as a bigger storm evolves over the ocean. Fair weather and somewhat colder by February 9.

DAYS 11-15 (FEBRUARY 10-14)…
The next storm threat looms for early in the period but there may be a lack of cold to work with and odds may favor mix/rain versus snow. Another stretch of unsettled weather is possible later February 12 through the end of the period.

9:12AM

DAYS 1-5 (JANUARY 30-FEBRUARY 3)…
Warm front moves through today producing some cloudiness, then in and out of clouds as mild air becomes established on Sunday. Not a bad weekend at all by January standards. Some changes for the first few days of February with a mild Monday, a cold front producing a few rain showers Monday evening but only slightly cooler air for Tuesday before a bigger warm-up for Wednesday, though accompanied by a wet weather as a stronger cold front approaches.
TODAY: Mostly sunny morning. Mostly cloudy afternoon. Highs 37-44. Wind S 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Lows 30-37. Wind SW 5-15 MPH with higher gusts.
SUNDAY: Partly sunny. Highs 47-54. Wind SW 5-15 MPH with higher gusts.
MONDAY: Partly cloudy. Chance of rain showers evening. Lows in the 30s. Highs in the 50s.
TUESDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 30s. Highs in the 40s.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly cloudy. Rain showers likely. Lows in the 40s. Highs in the 50s.

DAYS 6-10 (FEBRUARY 4-8)…
Fair weather expected February 4-5. Unsettled with chance of snow/mix February 6-7. Fair February 8. Temperatures near to above normal overall.

DAYS 11-15 (FEBRUARY 9-13)…
A passing system may bring precipitation about February 10. Storm threat again at the end of the period. Temperatures fairly close to normal though variable.

2:51AM

DAYS 1-5 (JANUARY 29-FEBRUARY 2)…
Unsettled weather today but only minor event with rain and snow showers as an offshore low pressure area deepens and accelerates away to the northeast, toward Nova Scotia, while a weakening system coming out of the Great Lakes transfers its energy to the offshore system. The very progressive pattern then brings briefly cooler northwesterly wind in by Friday night, followed by a warm front bringing more cloudiness on Saturday, but leading to a spell of very mild weather as January ends and February arrives Sunday and Monday. A cold front will approach by late Monday but will set off only a few rain showers Monday night or early Tuesday with only a slight cool-down for Tuesday.
TODAY: Mostly cloudy. Scattered rain and snow showers. Highs 35-42. Wind light variable becoming NW and increasing to 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Partly cloudy evening. Clearing overnight. Lows in the 20s. Wind NW 10-20 MPH and gusty.
SATURDAY: Increasing clouds. Highs 35-42. Wind W 5-15 MPH shifting to SW.
SATURDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy evening. Partly cloudy overnight. Lows 28-35 early then rising overnight. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.
SUNDAY: Partly sunny. Highs 48-55. Wind SW 10-20 MPH.
MONDAY: Partly cloudy. Risk of evening rain showers. Lows in the 30s. Highs in the 50s.
TUESDAY: Partly cloudy. Lows in the 30s. Highs in the 40s.

DAYS 6-10 (FEBRUARY 3-7)…
Potential record-challenging warmth with rain showers February 3. Colder with rain or snow showers possible February 4. Fair and cool February 5. A weak system may bring rain/snow showers by February 6 or 7.

DAYS 11-15 (FEBRUARY 8-12)…
Trending colder. Risk of rain/snow showers early in the period then mostly dry weather.

7:34AM

DAYS 1-5 (JANUARY 28-FEBRUARY 1)…
High pressure brings fair weather today. A pair of low pressure systems will pass by on their northeastward stroll across the atmospheric dance floor on Friday, one to our northwest, one to our southeast, attempting to join hands in the start of a ballroom tango, but before they can launch into their first spin together they will be beyond the area, leaving us with minimal impact, i.e., a little rain and snow activity. Fair weather returns for the weekend as well as Monday along with a warm-up as the jet stream lifts to the north and high pressure builds to the south.
TODAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 35-42. Wind light SW.
TONIGHT: Clouding up. Lows 25-32. Wind light S.
FRIDAY: Mostly cloudy. A period of rain Cape Cod. A few rain/snow showers elsewhere. Highs 35-42. Wind variable 5-15 MPH shifting to NW and increasing to 10-20 MPH late.
SATURDAY: Partly cloudy. Lows 15-25. Highs in the 30s.
SUNDAY: Mostly cloudy. Lows in the 20s. Highs in the 40s.
MONDAY: Partly sunny. Lows in the 30s. Highs in the 50s.

DAYS 6-10 (FEBRUARY 2-6)…
A weak cold front passes early February 2 with a few rain showers then fair weather. A warm front/cold front combo passes through February 3 as a stronger storm passes through the Great Lakes into southeastern Canada and will likely bring widespread rain showers as it is quite mild. Mostly fair weather and a colder trend sets up February 4-6, though a few snow showers may occur at times.

DAYS 11-15 (FEBRUARY 7-11)…
Briefly moderating then possibly turning much colder later in the period with a few snow showers.

7:34AM

DAYS 1-5 (JANUARY 27-31)…
Cloudiness gradually exits today as a front slogs eastward offshore. Two low pressure systems, one in the polar jet stream passing through the Great Lakes and another with the subtropical jet stream passing south of New England Thursday night, will remain separate until beyond the region Friday. This will prevent a significant storm and just result in the risk of a bit of snow and rain shower activity. A weak area of high pressure will bring fair weather Saturday and a weak low pressure area will be in the region Sunday with more cloudiness.
TODAY: Lots of clouds to start, then increasing sunshine. Highs 36-43. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 18-25. Wind light W.
THURSDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 35-42. Wind light SW.
FRIDAY: Mostly to partly cloudy and windy. Risk of snow showers early and snow or rain showers midday. Lows in the 20s. Highs in the 30s.
SATURDAY: Partly cloudy. Lows 15-25. Highs in the 30s.
SUNDAY: Mostly cloudy. Lows in the 20s. Highs in the 40s.

DAYS 6-10 (FEBRUARY 1-5)…
Disturbance coming through the region February 1 will produce a few rain showers with mild air. Continued above normal temperatures February 2-3 with fair weather February 2 and a few rain showers February 3. Fair and colder February 4-5.

DAYS 11-15 (FEBRUARY 6-10)…
Fair with moderating temperatures early in the period. A northern stream storm system will bring unsettled weather mid to late period followed by a possible blast of colder air.

7:22AM

DAYS 1-5 (JANUARY 26-30)…
Weak low pressure will pass well north of southern New England today and tonight. Its trailing cold front will pass this evening then slow down offshore Wednesday. This system will bring some cloudiness today into Wednesday but no more than a passing rain shower this evening. A pair of systems, one in the polar jet stream passing through the Great Lakes and another with the subtropical jet stream passing south of New England Thursday night, are expected to stay separated and not really interact until beyond the region Friday. This will prevent a significant storm and just result in the risk of a bit of snow shower activity. A weak area of high pressure will bring fair weather Saturday.
TUESDAY: Variably cloudy. A late-day rain shower possible mainly northwest of Boston. Highs 43-50. Wind SW 10-20 MPH with higher gusts.
TONIGHT: Variably cloudy. An evening rain shower possible. Lows 33-40. Wind SW to W 5-15 MPH and gusty.
WEDNESDAY: Lots of clouds to start, then increasing sunshine. Highs 36-43. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
THURSDAY: Sunshine during the day. Clouds moving in with a risk of snow showers overnight. Lows 18-25. Highs in the 30s.
FRIDAY: Mostly to partly cloudy and windy. Risk of snow showers early. Lows in the 20s. Highs in the 30s.
SATURDAY: Partly cloudy. Lows 15-25. Highs in the 30s.

DAYS 6-10 (JANUARY 31-FEBRUARY 4)…
A few periods of unsettled weather, more cloudiness than significant precipitation events, January 31 through February 3, though with variable temperatures will have to watch for possible mix/frozen precipitation at some point. Should turn dry and colder at the end of the period.

DAYS 11-15 (FEBRUARY 5-9)…
An overall fairly quiet pattern with variable temperatures.

7:28AM

DAYS 1-5 (JANUARY 25-29)…
High pressure brings fair weather today. Weak low passes to north late Tuesday and its cold front will slow down offshore Wednesday. Low pressure moves up along this front later in the week. Right now think this week be a close call but stay mostly offshore.
TODAY: Mostly sunny. Clouds from the west late. Highs in the 30s. Wind light W.
TONIGHT: Variably cloudy. Lows 25-32. Wind light W.
TUESDAY: Mostly cloudy. Spotty light freezing rain/drizzle southern NH and northern MA early. Scattered rain showers afternoon. Highs in the 40s.
WEDNESDAY: Partly sunny. Lows 25-32. Highs 35-42.
THURSDAY: Mostly cloudy. Risk of mix/snow southeastern MA late. Lows 18-25. Highs in the 30s.
FRIDAY: Mostly to partly cloudy and windy. Temperatures steady in 30s.

DAYS 6-10 (JANUARY 30-FEBRUARY 3)…
Fair January 30. Periods of unsettled
weather possible to end January and start February as a frontal system may be nearby with mild air trying to push up from the south while a cold high builds across eastern Canada.

DAYS 11-15 (FEBRUARY 4-8)…
Weak weather systems possible around February 4 and 6 otherwise a generally quiet weather pattern expected during this period with temperatures near to above normal.
