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 39-46. 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.

    1. 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!

      1. 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?

  6. 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!

    1. 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

  7. 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.

    1. 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.

  14. 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.

  15. 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.

    2. Max 2 touchdowns between the two teams watch for fieldgoals.
      U have 4 offenses that can struggle at times then get just enough and 4 defenses that are solid
      That pats oline and josh play calling will be major x factors. Need to do heavy sets which worked against chargers May was like 8 of 9 or something like that against chargers a top 5 defense

  20. If you practice #modelology then there were 2 big snowstorm potentials upcoming.

    If you practice #meteorology the pattern was approaching favorable but falling short of coming together to produce significant winter weather events.

    This is why my forecast for late this week has remained virtually unchanged since last Friday, other than adding more detail as we get closer to these times.

    This is how I learned it from the mentors I was very fortunate to learn from. It works. That’s why I use it still.

  21. Pats 36
    Texans 23

    I’m going to keep predicting that score until it happens.

    Why?

    Because that score has never been the final score of an NFL game and statistically it’s one of the most likely “never happened before” scores to happen. 😉

    1. Not going to predict a score, but I will predict a Patriots win.
      They’ll get it done and it may not look pretty. It’s the playoffs, you take a win anyway you can get it.

      1. I’m only predicting a score because of the reason I said. I didn’t predict any final scores in my 5 for 6 Wildcard Weekend. 🙂

  22. CPC 6-10 (January 19-23) for the WHW forecast area…
    Temps: Below normal.
    Precip: Near normal.

    CPC 8-14 (January 21-27) for the WHW forecast area…
    Temps: Below normal.
    Precip: Above normal.

    I’ve never been a fan of the fact that 3 dates overlap there.

    At this point, just follow the WHW 6-10 & 11-15. It adds one extra day and doesn’t repeat anything.

  23. It’s well known that the Texans are a solid defensive team, but 4 out of the last 6 weeks, they have faced offenses ranked 20th to 32nd in the NFL…

    Chargers: 20th
    Chiefs: 21st
    Cardinals: 22nd
    Raiders: 32nd

    When they faced the Colts (8th best), they won the game but gave up 30 points.

    The Pats are the 2nd most productive offense (in points scored) behind the Rams as of the end of the regular season.

    1. I’m not sure if I’d indicate late month “about to return…” which gives the impression its imminent.

      One of the problems I see on social media. Everything is “about to” happen.

      Reply

      1. Well, I guess that depends on what date period you consider “late month”.

        For me, it’s the 25th through 31st.

  27. Also, vividly remember this storm 15 years ago today back in January 2011….it was the largest storm in our January snow blitz that year when we picked up 65″ on the month and had numerous roof collapses in CT…

    What an absolutely epic band over Western CT. Relatively compact system – highly dynamic. I woke up to a SWS for 4 to 6 inch per hour snow rates morning of 1-12-11
