DAYS 1-5 (JANUARY 2-6)
A broad area of low pressure will approach today and then move southwest to northeast through the region during Tuesday. Other than a slight risk of some light freezing rain in north central MA and southwestern NH in the early hours of Tuesday, this will be a plain rain event for the region. This system will pull away on Wednesday and we’ll have a day with lingering clouds, increasing wind, and a fairly mild start but cooler finish. This will lead to a colder ending to the week. An offshore low pressure area may bring some cloudiness to Cape Cod on Thursday, and then another wave of low pressure passing south of the region on Friday will bring more widespread cloudiness and perhaps some snow into parts of the region, but this does not look like a significant system at this time.
TODAY: Increasing clouds. Highs 38-45. Wind light variable.
TONIGHT: Cloudy. Chance of rain favoring the South Coast early, spreading north overnight with a slight risk of freezing rain north central MA and southwestern NH. Lows 31-40 evening, rising slightly later. Wind SE to E 5-15 MPH.
TUESDAY: Overcast. Periods of rain. Areas of fog. Highs 42-54, coolest southwestern NH north central MA, mildest southeastern MA. Wind E 10-20 MPH with higher gusts.
WEDNESDAY: Partly sunny and windy. Lows 35-42. Highs 43-50.
THURSDAY: Mostly sunny and windy. Lows 18-25. Highs 30-38.
FRIDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of snow, favoring southern areas. Lows 18-25. Highs 28-35.

DAYS 6-10 (JANUARY 7-11)
Continuing to watch the period January 7-8 for the threat of some unsettled weather, with snow favored if moisture is far enough north. Fair weather expected January 9-11. Temperatures below normal early period, near normal late period.

DAYS 11-15 (JANUARY 12-16)
Unsettled weather returns early in the period but milder air will mean rain will be favored over snow. Fair weather follows with no major cold.

Happy New Year to all of you! Wishing you all the best for 2017!

DAYS 1-5 (JANUARY 1-5)
High pressure provides a bright and breezy start to 2017 for this first day of the year, though there will be some passing diurnal clouds, cumulus and fractocumulus, blotting out the sun at times. A broad and complex low pressure area will approach Monday, first with a wave of low pressure developing on a warm front south of New England, sending cloudiness into the region though rain should hold off except possibly along the South Coast later in the day. The main low pressure area will then push through from southwest to northeast on Tuesday, bringing a more widespread rain to the region as it will be warm enough both surface and aloft to support just rain. This will be beyond the region by Wednesday which will be a dry and windy day, with a mild start and colder finish. Fair and chilly weather will dominate Thursday as we continue to be in a west to northwest flow pulling in colder air from Canada and the Great Lakes.
TODAY: Sun and passing clouds. Highs 38-45. Wind W 10-20 MPH with higher gusts.
TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 12-20 interior valleys, 20-28 elsewhere. Wind diminishing to calm.
MONDAY: Increasing clouds. Highs 38-45. Wind light variable.
MONDAY NIGHT: Cloudy. Chance of rain favoring the South Coast early, spreading north overnight. Lows 33-40 evening, rising slightly later. Wind SE to E 5-15 MPH.
TUESDAY: Overcast. Periods of rain. Areas of fog. Highs 42-54, coolest southwestern NH north central MA, mildest southeastern MA. Wind E 10-20 MPH with higher gusts.
WEDNESDAY: Partly sunny and windy. Lows 35-42. Highs 43-50.
THURSDAY: Mostly sunny and windy. Lows 18-25. Highs 30-38.

DAYS 6-10 (JANUARY 6-10)
Continuing to watch the period January 6-8 for the threat of some unsettled weather, with snow/mix favored if moisture is far enough north. There is about an equal chance at this point that this activity passes south of New England. Fair weather expected January 9-10.

DAYS 11-15 (JANUARY 11-15)
Jet stream shifts back to the north with milder but at times unsettled weather. Low confidence this far out and will fine tune.
