Weather roller coaster is the theme of now and the next several days.<\/p>\n
The Thursday night mini snowstorm is gone after depositing 1 to 3 inches of snow. Some areas southwest of Boston (toward Providence RI) reported up to around 4 inches due to a very heavy burst of snow late in the evening.<\/p>\n
During the day today, a gusty breeze but otherwise quiet and cold weather is expected. Not far behind is the next storm system which will pass south of New England on Saturday. Enough cold air will be around for snow, but amounts will be held down by the fast-moving nature of the system. This looks like a dawn to dusk event for the Boston area.<\/p>\n
Another in-between day is expected Sunday with quiet weather. Temperatures for the Patriots\/Ravens playoff game at 3PM should be in the middle to lower 30s with a slow fall expected during the game. Winds should be on the light side from the north and for now I am going to leave the threat of any precipitation out of the forecast.<\/p>\n
The next storm will arrive Monday, and cold air trapped at the surface may mean a little additional icing inland as it begins to rain due to warmer air coming in above us all. This warm air will win out and a milder, wet day will result. The parent low pressure area should pass northwest of New England by early Tuesday and we should see southwest to west winds sweeping into southern New England with mild air and a few rain showers. Cooler air will eventually move in, but it will be a slow process, leading to a dry and chilly day for Wednesday of next week. The next threat of unsettled weather follows later in the week, and to be honest that\u2019s so far away that I really have no idea how that is going to evolve yet.<\/p>\n
