DAYS 1-5 (JANUARY 6-10)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We now are in a blocking pattern and have seen a stratospheric warming event disrupt the polar vortex which means a more volatile pattern for the Northern Hemisphere. What does that mean for us here in the northeastern US? Well, in the very short term, it doesn’t mean all that much different from what I’d been discussing, regarding getting rid of our offshore storm today, slowly, and seeing the next storm system miss to the south early in the weekend, leaving us with seasonably chilly and generally dry weather. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
TODAY: Variably cloudy. Possible passing snow showers except snow or rain showers Cape Cod. Highs 35-42. Wind N-NW 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TONIGHT: Clearing. Lows 22-29. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
THURSDAY: Sunny. Highs 33-40. Wind variable 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
THURSDAY NIGHT: Clear. Lows 18-25. Wind variable up to 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
FRIDAY: Mostly sunny but some increasing high clouds later in the day. Highs 36-43. Wind variable up to 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
FRIDAY NIGHT: High overcast. Lows 20-27. Wind variable up to 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SATURDAY: Filtered sun with high clouds to start, then brighter sunshine. Highs 37-44. Wind variable to N 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SATURDAY NIGHT: Clear. Lows 18-25. Wind N under 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SUNDAY: Sunny. Highs 36-43. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 6-10 (JANUARY 11-15)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The blocking pattern will remain in place. Various guidance remains in disagreement about how the next storm threat(s) will play out but we need to keep an eye on one or potentially 2 systems (January 12-13 & 14-15). The disruption of the polar jet stream will make it difficult to gauge the evolution and timing of disturbances that have the potential to impact our region. Temperatures overall will not be that far from normal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (JANUARY 16-20)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Still lower confidence due to the upcoming instability of the large scale pattern. For now holding onto a continuation of and possible start of the breakdown of the blocking set-up but still a volatile pattern with the impacts from an unstable polar vortex. This probably leads to at least one storm threat and with colder air potentially more available, the winter storm threat would be there. Lots to monitor in the days ahead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
