DAYS 1-5 (JANUARY 21-25)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A broad area of low pressure will track north of New England through Friday, dragging its warm front through the region today, which may result in a touch of light snow from northern MA northward, and its cold front across the region on Friday, which will be a milder day and see a passing rain or snow shower. Most of the region will be dry though on both days. This weekend, a piece of modified arctic air slips out of Canada into the Northeast as high pressure sets up shop north of the Great Lakes, so we will be cold and dry here. This cold\/dry air will hold into Monday as we start to watch a storm approaching the East Coast from the Midwest. Normally this would be rather concerning in winter, but it is not nearly so this time around. More about that after the detailed forecast for the next 5 days…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TODAY: Mostly cloudy through early afternoon with a period or 2 of very light snow possible in southern NH and northern MA. Partly sunny later. Highs 33-40. Wind SW 5-15 MPH with gusts 20-25 MPH possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 6-10 (JANUARY 26-30)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While we need to continue to monitor a passing storm system south of New England January 26 to early January 27, and there is still uncertainty regarding how far north the track will be, there will also potentially be an elongated trough behind it to watch as well. But right now the leaning is that we’ll continue to have the atmospheric block set up in such a way that low pressure over the Maritime Provinces of Canada will help keep this storm from becoming too strong and from coming too far north, so odds favor a miss or just a glancing blow favoring southern parts of the region. Dry\/cold weather follows this for January 28-29. May need to watch for another approaching low pressure system by the end of this period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (JANUARY 31 \u2013 FEBRUARY 4)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Potential impact by low pressure both at the start and end of this period. The odds however continue to be on the side of mostly quiet weather. There’s still a lot of uncertainty at this point on the duration and strength of the blocking pattern this far out – does it hold, weaken, or break down? – a question that cannot be answered yet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
