DAYS 1-5 (JANUARY 6-10)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you are walking or driving on untreated surfaces early to mid morning, there are some icy spots mostly in the I-95 area westward as it was cold enough overnight to freeze the moisture on surface left behind by rainfall. High pressure brings dry and seasonably chilly air to our region today. Friday, we will see our first widespread significant snow of the season, a moderate and short-duration event as low pressure scoots northeastward off the Mid Atlantic Coast and passes southeast of New England in the process of heading toward the Canadian Maritimes. This low pressure area will be in the process of intensifying as it races by, so we’ll likely see some banding of heavier snowfall in a general area of light to moderate snow. Despite some inflated shorter range model numbers on recent runs, I’m not going to make any real changes to my preliminary outlook from yesterday other than some minor tweaks. Behind this system, expect a dry and cold day Saturday, then a quick moderation Sunday but along with the threat of some light precipitation (rain showers coast, mix or snow showers inland) moving through as low pressure passes north of the region and we see its warm front \/ cold front combination go by us. This will introduce a colder air mass for Monday as dry weather returns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One-day shot of bitterly cold air January 11. A couple of weak low pressure systems bring threats of snow or snow showers (maybe some mix) thereafter, but too early for details on any precipitation threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
