DAYS 1-5 (JANUARY 4-8)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our pattern while similar in terms of activity starts to trend colder as we pierce January. One would expect this as we head toward the heart of winter as well as little further away from a pattern that kept us so mild. But we’re not done with mild air quite yet. You may not feel that way if you step outside this morning where many places sit below 20. First, we will have a bright and cold day today, the first day with substantial sun since December 23. High pressure will provide this for us, and it won’t be as cold as yesterday was, though still chilly – with temperatures climbing into the 30s. High pressure shifts offshore and low pressure passes north of the region Wednesday – a mild day that turns wet. A cold front will charge through the area Wednesday night returning a seasonable chill to us by Thursday. This sets up a wintry precipitation threat for Friday as low pressure takes aim at the Northeast. Model guidance is still showing a fairly large spread of outcomes, not only in the low pressure’s track, development, and intensity, but in snowfall amounts for the region. For example, through midday Friday, model snowfall output for Boston range from nothing at all to just under 1 foot of snow. Ah, so the accumulation is going to be 0 to 12 inches? Sure. That’s one way to look at it, but not the right way. The right way to look at it is that it’s still too soon to talk numbers. I’ll go no further than just saying that the higher probability, based on how I think the pattern will help this play out, is a light to moderate snowfall for the majority of the region. But there are still questions to be answered and fine tuning to do. Behind this system comes a cold and dry day to start the weekend on Saturday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
