DAYS 1-5 (JANUARY 13-17)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The quiet stretch of weather continues for another 3 days, although we have a tiny bit to watch for Thursday as low pressure passing well south of us will be raced by a disturbance passing through here, and their distant connection may help generate a bit of light rain and snow in our area. Finally a more potent system will make its way into the Northeast Friday night and Saturday, first as a broad area of low pressure entering the Great Lakes, and as its frontal system nears the East Coast we’ll see a new low form on it. There should be enough mild air around that the meaningful precipitation from this system falls as rain during the morning and midday hours of Saturday, based on current timing. While the exact track of that low is not nailed down yet, it should be close to or right over southeastern New England, and assuming it’s not moving more slowly than currently expected, we should see a drier end to Saturday, along with more wind, as snow showers stack up in the mountains west and north of our region. Probably should not rule out a stray snow shower making it into the WHW forecast area Saturday night. Sunday, expect a chilly day with a gusty wind but fair weather as low pressure drifts away via the Maritime Provinces of Canada and a sliver of high pressure approaches from the west.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 6-10 (JANUARY 18-22)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lingering low pressure in the Great Lakes region finally moves eastward through New England while a storm generates offshore, but probably too far offshore for direct impact here on Monday (Dr. MLK Jr. Day), leaving our region with just a chance of snow showers with seasonably cold air. Blocking pattern continues and chilly\/dry weather should dominate the middle of next week with any additional disturbances passing to the south, but we may need to watch for an approaching low pressure area by the end of the period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (JANUARY 23-27)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Still low confidence, but a bit more indication that we’ll start to see the blocking pattern break down, or at least weaken. Watching for potential storm systems to impact the region to start the period, and again late in the period.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
