DAYS 1-5 (FEBRUARY 9-13)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After a couple storms that were filled with complexities, today we get a “simple” winter storm, not a big one, but a light to moderate snowfall, some typical mix\/rain near the South Coast, and a pretty straightforward later morning start time to early evening end time, as low pressure passes just south of the New England South Coast, with cold air in place. For commuters, we sneak through the morning without an issue, but the afternoon\/evening drive will be more impacted by this event. High pressure moves in to bring us a chilly but brighter winter day Wednesday. I continue to eye a pair of low pressure areas for potential impact later in the week. The expectation was that the storm track would be pushed a bit further south during this week, and that is likely to be the case, with those passing mainly south of the region between Thursday and Friday, although we’ll probably deal with quite a bit of cloudiness as they pass us by – and as always a wary eye will be kept on them, just in case. Expect a dry but cold Saturday as high pressure makes a brief visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TODAY: Cloudy. Snow arrives west to east mid through late morning, steadiest and moderate to heavy at times this afternoon, mixing with or changing to rain Nantucket, Martha’s Vineyard, and possibly the immediate MA & RI South Coast, before tapering off from west to east early evening. Snowfall accumulation coating to 2 inches in far southern areas that mix or change to rain, 2 to 4 inches MA South Shore (Plymouth area) to interior far southern New England (Providence RI area), and 4 to 7 inches elsewhere. Highs 27-34. Wind variable up to 10 MPH becoming E 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 6-10 (FEBRUARY 14-18)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Active pattern. Colder than normal temperatures overall. Storm threats focused on February 14 & 17. Favoring snow over any mix\/rain for the first system, but cannot discount the possibility of a variety of precipitation depending on storm track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (FEBRUARY 19-23)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Two more opportunities for low pressure impacts focused around February 20 & 22 but either or both of these can be pushed to the south of the region. Far to soon for any confidence on these future potentials.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
