DAYS 1-5 (JANUARY 23-27)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An arctic cold front is dropping southward through the region early this morning and will take until mid to late morning to completely push through. Snow showers accompanying this front have whitened the ground in some locations north of Boston and briefly moderate snow showers may coat the ground along this boundary as it moves to the south. Its bigger impact will be to introduce the coldest air mass we’ve seen in quite some time, after a long stretch of milder-than-normal weather (other than one below normal day on Thursday). But now we’re putting together a string of colder-than-normal days which will last well into next week, starting with a dry (after the snow showers) and bright weekend between a large area of low pressure in the Canadian Maritime Provinces and high pressure in eastern Canada and the Great Lakes. I am continuing to lean toward mainly a miss for the storm system passing south of the region between late Monday and early Wednesday. I think the synoptic snowfall from this system may get into the NYC and southwestern CT area Monday night and Tuesday but the dry air will be too much to overcome for any of that snow to make it into the southern portion of the WHW forecast area. However, the direction of the wind at the surface may create some snow showers as the wind will be coming off the Atlantic from the northeast between high pressure to the north and low pressure to the south. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
TODAY: Clouds and scattered snow showers with coatings of snow possible especially eastern MA through mid morning, otherwise sun & passing clouds. Highs 25-32 occurring early morning, steady or slowly falling thereafter. Wind NNW 10-20 MPH with higher gusts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TONIGHT: Clear. Lows 10-17. Wind N 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SUNDAY: Sunny. Highs 25-32. Wind N 10-20 MPH with higher gusts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SUNDAY NIGHT: Clear. Lows 10-17. Wind N 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
MONDAY: Sun & high clouds. Highs 25-32. Wind N 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
MONDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Lows 18-25. Wind N 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TUESDAY: Mostly cloudy to partly sunny. Snow showers possible, favoring coastal areas. Highs 24-31. Wind NE 10-20 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TUESDAY NIGHT: Variably cloudy. Snow showers possible, favoring coastal areas. Lows 17-24. Wind NE 10-20 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
WEDNESDAY: Mostly cloudy. Snow showers possible, favoring coastal areas. Wind NE 10-20 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 6-10 (JANUARY 28 – FEBRUARY 1)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The large scale blocking pattern continues with another storm likely passing south of the region January 28 to early January 29, but this system, in combination with high pressure in eastern Canada, may help continue the coastal snow shower threat at least to start the period before the air flow turns more northerly. High pressure should control weather weather into the January 30-31 weekend but we will need to keep an eye on the next storm threat as early as January 31 and more likely February 1. That’s out at days 9 & 10 so no detail but just general idea on timing of the threat window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (FEBRUARY 2-6)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cautiously and with low confidence forecasting a slight weakening of blocking resulting in a readjustment of large scale features and opening the door for a little more unsettled weather as we move through the early days of February. Greatest chance for storminess here would come during the middle to end of this period.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
