A train of small and mostly minor storms will affect the Boston area during the next several days. Once such event is ongoing now, and others will follow late Thursday, Saturday, Monday, and Wednesday of next week, based on current timing. None of these events are expected to bring big snow.<\/p>\n
Highlights of the recent past and the coming week+ appeared in the comments section of the last blog entry but i will re-post them here, then follow that up with the Boston area forecast…<\/p>\n
– Weather-past: Well our little mini snowstorm is gone. I\u2019m not completely satisfied with my forecast on this one. It snuck up a little more than I wanted it to, and some of the amounts were just a touch higher than I forecast. But no big misses, so I\u2019ll take it. There was some cellular nature to the precipitation, evident on radar. I had 1.7 inch here in Woburn, while in Reading center there was under 1 inch. Move a bit to the east toward Peabody and there was nearly 2 inches. So the variability caused by the cellular nature of the precipitation was apparent even over these short distances.<\/p>\n
– Weather-now: Periods of rain through evening and maybe some patchy fog over any remaining snow cover. Once the cold front clears the area later tonight, some icy areas may form, but it should not be a widespread major problem since we\u2019ll see a gusty wind helping to dry the ground out, and no rapid temperature drop.<\/p>\n
– Weather-future: Things I\u2019m keeping an eye on as far out as I can see include the following\u2026
\n* Windy\/cold Wednesday
\n* Rapid-moving and weak system with minor snow event Thursday evening
\n* Breezy\/cold Friday
\n* Snow\/mix Saturday (track of system not clear yet)
\n* In-between Sunday but cool (not too cold) for Pats game
\n* Possible cold-air-damning icing situation for Monday???
\n* Warm-up squelched by high pressure to the north Tuesday
\n* Storm Wednesday (1-25), probably a cutter (tracks through the eastern Great Lakes), may open the door to very mild stretch to end the month\u2026<\/p>\n
