DAYS 1-5 (FEBRUARY 23-27)…
Here comes the 2-part storm system with low pressure #1 delivering mix/snow to ice/rain from late today through tonight and low pressure #2 bringing a round of heavier rain and wind later Wednesday to early Thursday. A trailing trough from low #2 will bring a few additional showers of rain/mix late Thursday. We start out cold and this will be the reason for the frozen precipitation associated with low #1, but much milder air aloft and at the surface will take over as #1 passes and will be in place for #2. Drier and cooler weather is expected for the end of the week.
TODAY: Becoming cloudy. Snow/mix developing mid to late afternoon RI and southern MA, may start as rain South Coast and Cape Cod/Islands. Highs in the 30s. Wind NE 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Cloudy. Snow/mix developing south to north then changing to rain except freezing rain interior valleys. Evening lows upper 20s to lower 30s then rising into 30s all areas overnight. Snow accumulation a coating to 1 inch coast from Boston south, 1-3 inches elsewhere. Wind NE to E 5-15 MPH.
WEDNESDAY: Overcast. Periods of rain/drizzle, though deepest valleys north central MA and southern NH may still see freezing rain/drizzle early. Areas of fog. Temperatures slowly rise into the 40s but may not get there until evening in some valleys. Wind light E to variable.
THURSDAY: Cloudy through morning with periods of rain showers, possibly heavy, and a slight chance of thunderstorms. Sun/clouds afternoon. Mostly cloudy with a passing rain shower at night. Temperature rise into the 50s morning, may reach 60 some areas, then fall back to the 40s evening.
FRIDAY: Partly cloudy. Lows in the 20s. Highs in the 40s.
SATURDAY: Partly cloudy. Lows in the 20s. Highs 35-45.
DAYS 6-10 (FEBRUARY 28-MARCH 3)…
Currently looks like the coldest air that was previously expected for February 28 will stay to the north and the day will be fair and seasonable. System from the west brings a chance of snow/mix/rain February 29. Fair and colder March 1-2. Storm threat March 3 but not sure on timing or any precipitation type this far in advance.
DAYS 11-15 (MARCH 4-8)…
Unsettled early in the period and again possibly at the end of the period. Temperatures below normal.
