DAYS 1-5 (JANUARY 13-17)
High pressure slides south of our region today which will be a dry and seasonably chilly day. As this high slides offshore tonight and a cold front approaches from the northwest tonight into Wednesday, we’ll be milder with more cloudiness and perhaps a touch of light rainfall – though mid level dry air largely obliterates any rain chances. The rain shower chance exists into early Thursday, which then switches to a fairly benign snow shower chance as colder air returns during Thursday and through the day on Friday. Storminess associated with the trough bringing this to our region will develop too far offshore and too late to have an impact on our region but this was expected to be the scenario for quite a few days anyway. The next system will act similarly – a trough and frontal system moving into the region late Saturday with a chance of some rain / mix / snow, but not looking like a major event in any way.
TODAY: Sun / cloud mix with more clouds late. Highs 37-44. Wind W to SW 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy. A slight chance of light rain overnight. Lows 35-42. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly cloudy. A slight chance of light rain early. Highs 46-51. Wind SW 5-15 MPH, gusts around 20 MPH.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Variably cloudy. Chance of a rain shower late. Lows 35-42. Wind SW to variable 5-15 MPH.
THURSDAY: Variably cloudy. Chance of a rain shower morning. Highs 38-45. Wind variable to W 10-20 MPH.
THURSDAY NIGHT: Variably cloudy. Chance of snow showers. Lows 20-27. Wind NW to N 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.
FRIDAY: Partly cloudy. Chance of a snow shower. Highs 28-35. Wind NW 10-20 MPH.
FRIDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 15-22. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
SATURDAY: Sun followed by clouds. Chance of rain / mix / snow showers at night. Highs 35-42. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.
DAYS 6-10 (JANUARY 18-22)
System departs early January 18 with a chance of a snow shower otherwise dry, breezy, and chilly weather. Generally chilly and dry weather early to middle of next week. Watch for potential snow / mix end of period, but timing and set-up of potential system is uncertain.
DAYS 11-15 (JANUARY 23-27)
This period of time features colder weather and a greater potential for an event or two with frozen precipitation.
Good morning and thank you TK.
32 here
Ocean: 42
Wordle: 5
Thanks TK !
Wordle: fail and I had 3 letters after the 3rd guess and 4 letters thru 4 guesses and never saw it.
Sorry to hear. I got zilch with my first guess. 2 out of position on 2nd guess, 2 in position on 3rd guess. Thought I had it with the 4th guess, but 1st letter was wrong, the other 4 in position. Finally on the 5th guess! PHEW!
Darn and ugh Tom. Weird words lately.
I’m joining JPD with a 5
Welcome. I don’t feel so badly.
Thanks TK.
1,418 ❄️
Sad…
Incidental. Neither sad nor happy. 🙂
Thank you TK.
Got a whole lot of 2015 snowmageddon pictures today as memories. Good times! I miss snow.
What is snow????????
It still snows.
It does? Really? Oh, you mean those few flurries we’ve had?
What about REAL SNOW? Does it still do that? 🙂 🙂 🙂
How about a good ole fashion snow storm?
Will we see one this Winter?
Care to Share?
I hope TK’s storm threats materialize later in the month.
I am getting very bad vibes overall. I need a REAL snow storm, else it might as well be Spring already!!! I am getting really antsy!
I am hoping the opposite, of course. My hopes and prayers in regard to snow have been answered for a few years now. I’m enjoying my streak lol
I got Wordle in 3 today.
I had nothing on guess 1 and just some misplaced vowels on guess 2. I struggled to think of anything given how many consonants were eliminated. This struggle is often a good sign because it means that once you find a possibility there’s a better chance of it being the solution.
Excellent!!!
Wow. Very impressive
Thank you TK!
Wordle: 5 (due to being a complete idiot on two of my guesses. I think I need more coffee)
Welcome to the 5 car. 🙂
That’s 3 5’s and boy do I know that feeling, Sue
We need rain and snow soon. Will there be an active brush fire season before leaf out?
I believe much of the state is in at least “abnormally dry” conditions. Maybe even “moderate” in some spots.
Yes, brush fires come spring are a good possibility as we haven’t had any widespread rain events, let alone snow events so far. Quite a dry winter overall.
Thank you, TK. Up to 33 here from 25
Thanks, TK.
Thanks TK
Just hit 40F

I was just going to post what you captured in your post, Longshot.
Approaching mid January, any day with sunshine and above 40F is a victory this time of year.
Thinking I could hit 45F today.
Probably 🙂
Thanks, TK.
Thus far, this has been a meh winter in terms of: 1. Snow or lack thereof, with next to nothing expected in the short and even medium-range (perhaps long-range; but we’ve had long-range signals this winter that have evaporated); 2. Though it’s been colder than average/normal, it hasn’t been frigid (no nights in the single digits and only a handful in the teens in Boston) or a sustained cold, the kind that freezes over the Charles in Boston.
I’ve enjoyed the sunny and brisk days. But even they are kind of becoming a memory as this prolonged thaw continues.
As of now, that hr 54 to around 120 ….
its too bad, because there are multiple 500 mb disturbances in the eastern trof, and seemingly how they are interacting with one another, doesn’t seem to allow them to create a sfc setup that will give us a decent snowfall.
It’s 42 in Uxbridge
42 here as well. 🙂
