DAYS 1-5 (JANUARY 7-11)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A quick-hitting but potent snowstorm this morning, especially under a solid synoptic band of heavy snow that sits right over Metro Boston extending south southwest and north northeast around the back side of strengthening low pressure as it passes by to the southeast. For many it’s a fluffy snow, which helps the amounts add up more, but keeps it from being heavy\/wet. Wetter snow is confined to the Cape Cod region with some rain mixing in on Nantucket, where amounts will be lightest, building up to heaviest in eastern MA and RI, then dropping off as you head northwest to north central MA and southwestern NH (a similar profile to the previously mentioned amounts, which will be heavier than previously mentioned). The storm winds down this afternoon and is gone tonight. Fair and cold due to Canadian high pressure Saturday. A warm-up Sunday, but still cold enough that if rain showers arriving from the west are early enough there may be some icing over the interior. That will be from a cold front that will introduce much colder air for Monday and a secondary front that will bring in a blast of pure arctic air for Tuesday. Generally dry weather is expected those days with the exception of a possible snow squall with the arrival of Arctic air Monday evening. We’ll focus more on that after we get by this current system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TODAY: Cloudy through midday with snow of 6 to 12 inches (maximum amounts northwestern RI to Metro Boston to Cape Ann), except 3 to 6 inches mid Cape Cod and Martha\u2019s Vineyard and 1-3 inches outer Cape Cod and Nantucket with rain mixed in, and under 6 inches in north central MA and southwestern NH.
