DAYS 1-5 (FEBRUARY 7-11)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Two jet streams throw energy at us today. The first will be a southern stream low pressure area that will race northeastward, passing southeast of New England, throwing a shield of precipitation across the region from later this morning to early this evening, arriving from southwest to northeast as snow for most areas but mix or rain in the coastal plain due to marginal temperatures, then end up as mainly snow for all, with a light to moderate accumulation, and a pocket of heavier accumulation over interior southeastern MA, before exiting from west to east between 6 and 8 p.m. (may linger a bit longer in far eastern areas). As this feature exits, a cold front associated with energy in the northern jet stream may help create a brief snow shower or even a snow squall, especially west and north of Boston, as it moves through the region later in the evening. After this, a shot of windy, colder weather will follow for Monday, but as high pressure moves toward the region, the wind will start to relax by later Monday, and high clouds will already be streaming in ahead of the next system coming along in the jet stream which will bring a minor snow\/mix\/rain event to the region on Tuesday. After this, fair weather returns for midweek. Some of the guidance has another system moving in quickly, about next Thursday, but at the moment I believe that may be too quick on the guidance and will go with a slower timing, holding that system off through the middle of the week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TODAY: Overcast. Snow arrives southwest to northeast late morning-midday, starting as rain in the coastal plain of MA especially Cape Cod before changing to snow there, steadiest through the afternoon, heaviest over eastern CT, RI & southeastern MA. Highs 30-37. Wind N up to 10 MPH morning, NE 10-20 MPH afternoon except 15-25 MPH with a few higher gusts over southeastern MA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TONIGHT: Cloudy early evening with snow ending west to east by 8 or 9 p.m. after accumulating 1-3 inches across central and northeastern MA and southern NH, 3-5 inches in the Boston-Providence region southeastward, except pockets of 5-8 inches mainly interior southeastern MA, RI, and eastern CT. Variably cloudy late evening with a passing snow shower or snow squall possible mainly in areas north and west of Boston. Clearing overnight. Lows 15-22. Wind NW 10-20 MPH, higher gusts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
MONDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 27-34. Wind NW 10-20 MPH morning, W 5-15 MPH afternoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
MONDAY NIGHT: Increasing clouds. Lows 12-19. Wind variable up to 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TUESDAY: Mostly cloudy. A period of snow except snow may change to rain South Coast. Highs 30-35 southern NH and northern MA, 35-40 southern MA & RI. Wind variable up to 10 MPH becoming S 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TUESDAY NIGHT: Clearing. Watch for black ice formation! Lows 15-22. Wind W 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
WEDNESDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 25-32. Wind W 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 12-19. Wind W under 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
THURSDAY: Partly sunny. Highs 27-34. Wind variable 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 6-10 (FEBRUARY 12-16)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Active pattern with one or two low pressure systems impacting the region during this period with snow\/mix\/rain, favoring February 12 & 15, but low confidence on the timing of the second threat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (FEBRUARY 17-21)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Additional opportunities for wintry weather events near the border of very cold air north and milder air to the south, and in the general storm track path. Don’t misread this as a forecast of snowstorm after snowstorm. There is far too much uncertainty out this far to make a confident call.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
