DAYS 1-5 (FEBRUARY 11-15)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This 5-day segment takes us through the Presidents Day Weekend, and during this period we will have 3 low pressure systems pass our longitude in the continued cold and active weather pattern. No, this is no 2015, when we were in a much higher amplitude pattern with cold so locked in that our storms were all big powder fluff snowstorms – this one has a different set-up. It’s cold, yes, but we set at the eastern edge of a large cold air mass which dominates a good portion of the US, while far southeastern portions of the US, especially Florida, has been sitting in very warm air. The boundary zone between that cold & warm is always the most vulnerable area for storms to be, and a quick jet stream moves a steady series of them along the boundary. The first of the three aforementioned low pressure areas passes to the south of New England today, close enough only to bring brief snow around the South Coast for a brief time, while the remainder of the area just starts to the day under a canopy of clouds, which will then clear out. The second low pressure area passes even further south of the region on Friday, leaving us with a partly sunny and dry day. The next low makes a run at the region on Sunday, Valentine’s Day, but will be losing punch as it does so. At this point, my expectation from this one is that we can squeeze out a generally light snowfall from late Saturday night as moisture streams in ahead of the system, through Sunday midday before drier air has sufficiently eaten away at the system that we probably end the day with at least some sun. Presidents Day Monday is expected to be dry but breezy and cold between that departing low to the east and approaching high pressure from the west.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 6-10 (FEBRUARY 16-20)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Current timing brings our next storm threat in for February 16, likely a more significant snow to mix event, details to be determined. Dry weather follows for February 17. Quick-moving systems in the jet stream mean that the next threat will be sooner, sometime in the February 18-19 time window with dry weather returning to end the period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (FEBRUARY 21-25)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
