DAYS 1-5 (FEBRUARY 19-23)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Elongated low pressure passing just south of New England will continue to cause episodes of snow with additional slow-building accumulation through this evening before gradually ending as snow showers overnight tonight. Additional snowfall accumulations from this system will be 2 to 5 inches, most areas seeing 4 or less additional, but spot 5 inch amounts possible with some ocean-enhancement potential from Seacoast NH into eastern MA. This will bring the snowfall totals for the entire event mostly into the lower halves of the 2-4\/4-8 inch ranges previously mentioned, with only spot locations getting to around 6+ total. But again one more reminder that the long-duration of this event and the lack of pavement accumulation of snow make it a less impactful system than if we were getting all of the snowfall accumulation from a heavier burst over a shorter period of time. Saturday, some instability will mean additional passing clouds and possible snow showers, along with a gusty breeze, before high pressure builds in for a dry and cold but more tranquil Sunday with less wind. Low pressure crosses the region Monday with unsettled weather – a precipitation shield that will have a rain\/snow line to fine-tune. High pressure builds in with fair weather returning Tuesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
THROUGH THIS EVENING: Overcast with periodic to frequent snow, except mixed with sleet at times South Coast and islands and possibly rain for a time Nantucket. Additional snowfall accumulation (not including what has already fallen), 2 to 5 inches, most areas under 4 inches. Total snowfall accumulation for event 4 to8 inches with any greater-than-6 inch amounts isolated and favoring eastern MA. Temperatures generally steady 27-34. Wind N to NE 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy with a chance of snow showers. Lows 20-27. Wind N to NW 10-20 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SATURDAY: Sun\/cloud mix. Risk of passing snow showers. Highs 28-35. Wind NW 10-20 MPH, higher gusts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SATURDAY NIGHT: Clearing. Lows 12-19. Wind NW 5-15 MPH, diminishing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SUNDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 28-35. Wind NW up to 10 MPH morning, becoming variable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SUNDAY NIGHT: Increasing clouds. Lows 18-25. Wind variable under 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
MONDAY: Cloudy. Snow\/mix\/rain likely. Highs 35-42. Wind variable 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
MONDAY NIGHT: Clearing. Lows 25-32. Wind W 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TUESDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 35-42. Wind W 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 6-10 (FEBRUARY 24-28)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Medium range guidance is struggling trying to identify how things play out as we head through the final days of February. My current feel is that we get back into another boundary zone and have a couple opportunities for unsettled weather, but timing and precipitation type for these would be impossible to really elaborate on this far in advance. Re-evaluation to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (MARCH 1-5)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
West to northwest flow pattern expected. At least one Pacific low pressure area should make its way across the country to visit us in the early days of March, once again timing uncertain this far into the future. We’ll have to keep an eye on additional cold air building in Canada in early March.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
