DAYS 1-5 (FEBRUARY 5-9)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Low pressure takes the express lane through the St. Lawrence Valley today and its trailing frontal systems (warm front \/ cold front \/ occlusion) produce a minor precipitation event for us, mostly rain, a bit of snow interior higher elevations. This exits tonight and is replaced by dry and seasonably chilly weather Saturday. As the temperature falls below freezing tonight into early Saturday, watch for the formation of black ice on untreated surfaces that are wet from rain and\/or melting snow! Continuing to watch 2 piece of energy in a split jet stream for Sunday. The current idea is that we’ll get clipped by the northern edge of the snow shield from the southern stream storm system during the late morning and early afternoon hours of Sunday which will result in a minor snowfall accumulation especially for the New England South Coast, while the northern energy will come along in the form of a cold front which may produce a few late-day snow showers or even a snow squall. This introduces colder air for Monday, briefly. Another low pressure system will race eastward in the jet stream and while a little bit uncertain on its fine details, I figure at this time that this system can produce a minor snow\/mix event Monday night and early Tuesday as it comes through the region while weakening, as it won’t have a lot of support with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TODAY: Clouds thicken up. A period or two of rain from late morning through mid afternoon moving west to east across the region, except may fall as snow in interior higher elevations of central MA and southern NH with minor accumulation of under 1 inch. Highs 37-44. Wind variable to SE up to 10 MPH early, becoming S 5-15 MPH with higher gusts, shifting to W.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TONIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 22-29. Wind W 10-20 MPH. Watch for black ice formation!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SATURDAY: Partly cloudy. Highs 32-39. Wind W 10-20 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SATURDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 18-25. Wind W 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SUNDAY: Mostly cloudy. A period of snow arriving morning and exiting afternoon with accumulation of a coating to 1 inch except 1-3 inches South Coast region. A few snow showers possible and a risk of a heavier snow squall later in the day. Highs 30-37. Wind variable to W 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SUNDAY NIGHT: Clearing. Lows 15-22. Wind NW 10-20 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
MONDAY: Sun followed by clouds. Highs 27-34. Wind NW 10-20 MPH morning, variable 5-15 MPH afternoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
MONDAY NIGHT: Cloudy. Snow\/mix possible. Temperatures steady or rising slightly to 30-37. Wind variable 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TUESDAY: Mostly cloudy with snow\/mix\/rain possible early, then clearing. Highs 33-40. Wind variable to W 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 6-10 (FEBRUARY 10-14)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Colder weather will likely be dominant as arctic air that enters the US well west of here spills slowly eastward in pieces while the storm track starts out mainly south of here but may edge closer by later in the period. More elaboration on this period of time in future blog updates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (FEBRUARY 15-19)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Additional opportunities for wintry weather events during mid February near the border of very cold air north and milder air to the south, and in the general storm track path. Too soon for any details and trying to pick out any specific events.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
