DAYS 1-5 (JANUARY 3-7)
We are in an active pattern of minor systems. So while there are 3 disturbances to impact our weather in the next 5 days, none of them will produce major storminess. After high pressure brings fair, cold weather today, a weak disturbance from the west northwest will deliver some light snow or flurries early Sunday, and a few additional snow showers later Sunday. The next one will be a weak clipper low that has an active enough warm front for some light snowfall Monday night. The one following that will be a low pressure area that, reacting to a switch in the upper flow, will travel to our north, its warm front bringing some light snow/mix/rain Tuesday night into Wednesday.
TODAY: Sun/cloud mix. Highs 25-32. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy. A touch of light snow or flurries overnight with accumulations of under 1/2 inch. Lows 15-22. Wind W to variable up to 10 MPH.
SUNDAY: Mostly cloudy to partly sunny. Lingering light snow or flurries possible early. Chance of a late-day snow shower, favoring areas north of I-90. Highs 25-32. Wind W up to 10 MPH.
SUNDAY NIGHT: Clearing. Lows 10-17. Wind NW up to 10 MPH.
MONDAY: Increasing clouds. Highs 21-28. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
MONDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Chance of light snow or flurries. Lows 13-20. Wind variable up to 10 MPH.
TUESDAY: Mostly cloudy. Highs 28-35. Wind variable to S up to 10 MPH.
TUESDAY NIGHT: Cloudy. Chance of light snow/mix/rain. Temperatures rise slowly into/through 30s. Wind S up to 10 MPH.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of light rain. Highs 40-47. Wind S up to 10 MPH.
DAYS 6-10 (JANUARY 8-12)
Fair, colder start to period. Unsettled weather potential late January 9 into January 10 and again later in the period with variable temperatures not too far from normal.
DAYS 11-15 (JANUARY 13-17)
Variable temperatures averaging around normal. Active pattern but no major storminess indication at this time.
Thanks TK
Good morning and thank you TK.
Currently 22, overnight low 19
Ocean: 43
Wordle: 6 imho, a very difficult word, at least for me it was.
Thank you TK!
Wordle: a VERY lucky 3
The same for me!
Thanks TK !
Wordle: 4
I thought it was a difficult word Also. Very nice that everyone got it.
Wordle 4. My guess three was foolish. I put a letter where I knew it didn’t belong
🙂
Always good to look at an upcoming school week in January with decent confidence that you won’t gain a day in June due to a snow day.
This coming week will not add a day in June for sure. 🙂
Excellent !!!
Probably many weeks to come, with our luck.
Wordle 3, sent from a rainy California
Awesome, Julie.
Awesome pattern. We are going to need precipitation soon for spring and summer.
Thank you, TK. Hope you are resting.
19 up from the low of 6.
My to-do list is significant, but not strenuous, and since you are aware of what I’m recovering from, yes I am taking it easy. 🙂
That was probably the longest a-fib episode I had in the last few years, but not even close to my all-time record. 😉
2nd Vicki’s thoughts.
Ugh. So sorry. ❤️
Feel better buddy
Hi Vicki,
Was that picture you posted yesterday from LiveTV+?
No. It was the tripod stand I got for my iPad so I don’t have to hole it to watch. Just a silly convenience
High tide right now and it’s definitely a King tide !
The avg tide will fill the rivers and inlets in a tidal marsh to the top, but the rest of the grassy marsh is exposed.
Not now, it’s all submerged, one big lake. There’s flooding in the lot for the green harbor lobster pound, simply no parking lot to park in.
Next month, the moon’s perigee moved ahead of the full moon by a couple days, so, instead of an 11.8ft max cycle tide, it’s 11.3 or 11.4
But it’s a matter of time before we experience a strong onshore wind meet up with the big tides. Glad this one is passing with offshore winds.
WOW!!! great job all on Wordle. I guess I sit ALL ALONE in the caboose. But, I have been doing better of late. Today, not so good. 🙂
Thanks TK
Thanks TK. Hope you recover soon!

Doing much better thanks! Just have to monitor day to day, and treat when necessary.
That “sun/cloud mix” has now become “mostly cloud”. 😉
It’s sunny almost everywhere south of I-90.
The sun/cloud mix refers to the region as a whole because there is a partial inversion and a bit of low level moisture advection from the WNW. This is going to create patches of wave clouds of the stratocumulus variety that can sit over some areas for a while as standing waves, making it “mostly cloudy”, while a drier tongue of air to the south prevents the clouds there.
Brilliant blue sky here with a small scattering of clouds
King tides are fascinating to watch. There’s a section adjacent to the marshland at Hampton Beach, as well as down by Browns Seafood along 286 in Seabrook that flood regularly with king tides. They have done so for decades and decades. Unless you’re new to the area you know all about it and can plan ahead.
Thanks TK. Hope you are back to normal soon.
I am now, just recovering the energy level… 🙂
I got the impression from one of the tv mets this morning that the Monday night system will be more productive than tonight’s. I am speaking in extreme relative terms, of course.
Maybe more widespread and a bit longer in duration? Maybe squeeze out an inch?
Did this impression come in their wording or the model depiction they showed? Who did you see?
My discussion should give the slight impression that the snowfall would be a little more widespread Monday night than tonight. As for amounts on the 2nd system … not sure, but not much.
As long as not much as we will be leaving first thing Tuesday morning
Should be ok!
No model was shown. It was the spoken word.
Ty! Yes it’ll be a bit more solid than the first one, but nothing to write home about.
Thanks, TK.
Thanks, TK!
Feel better soon!
Twilight at 4:50.
Although it’s sad since I enjoy the darker evenings in winter, I can drive a bit later. Yay.
I can see a fuzzy moon behind the thin cloud later but can’t see Jupiter
I just got a pic of moon, solar halo, jupiter together … I missed an even better pic by 5 seconds when a jet climbing out of Logan passed right across the moon and cast its fast-moving shadow onto a thin cloud layer below.
“Halo around the sun or moon means rain or snow soon.”
-Dick Albert
A true weather proverb indeed.
It works about 60% of the time. Though Dick Albert was not the one who originated the phrase. It dates back old weather lore predating modern forecasting.
Well, it should apply for overnight and early morning, correct?
If flurries count, sure!
But it’s not one of those “lock” lore sayings. Actually, none of them are. Some of them are more accurate than others, though.
Awesome. I saw other pics and the halo.
New post…
