DAYS 1-5 (DECEMBER 30 \u2013 JANUARY 3)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
La Nina \/ weak to moderate MJO mostly in phase 7 \/ positive NAO \/ etc… There are some of you who know what this means, and others that may not. Basically these 3 and other (etc) reasons as well are why our overall weather pattern is as it is and isn’t really changing all that much for now either. Highlights are quick-moving but not powerful storm systems in fairly regular and frequent succession, rain favored over snow, overall mild but brief cold. The next weak low crosses the region tonight and early Friday. A small bubble of high pressure moves in later Friday but with weak air flow and a lot of low level moisture, any clearing we see will be very limited. The next low, while not a strong system, will have more moisture with it, and we look for a rainy start to 2022 on Saturday. While the trailing frontal system from this low is to be somewhat aligned with the upper level winds, it won’t move offshore all that quickly, and with another wave of low pressure moving along it and upper level energy still to swing through, we stay unsettled though mild into Sunday as well, though rainfall will take the form of more showers than steady. Finally later Sunday colder air will arrive, but most of the precipitation will have exited and we may just see a few snow showers with its arrival. A brief but sharp cold shot follows for Monday as a chunk of cold air is pulled southeastward out of Canada and into the northeastern US, but this will come along with dry weather between low pressure to the east and high pressure to the west.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 6-10 (JANUARY 4-8)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fast-moving systems as the same general pattern continues. Unreliable guidance and difficulty in timing anything leads to a general idea of fair weather and moderating temperatures early in the period, unsettled weather mid period, fair and colder weather later in the period, but this is a low confidence outlook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (JANUARY 9-13)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Same overall pattern but a hint at a colder trend. One or two systems may bring precipitation threats.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
