DAYS 1-5 (JANUARY 14-18)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today’s update holds very similar thoughts to yesterday’s. We’re dealing with an offshore ocean storm today that will create increasing wind, especially along the coast, but only minor precipitation, in the form of rain mainly over Cape Cod and up possibly to about Plymouth before it pulls offshore, possibly with a few insignificant snowflakes or some minor accumulation at best at the end later today. But tonight, as the storm intensifies and lifts toward the Canadian Maritimes, it will, combined with high pressure north of the Great Lakes, pull in an arctic air mass with a plunging temperature, a rapid freeze-up of any wet surfaces, and a very low wind chill. The arctic chill will be around right through Saturday night too as the high pressure area presses closer to the region, then sits over us for the early part of Sunday, which will also be a cold but more tranquil day. You’ll notice an increase in high clouds as Sunday goes along, and this will be due to the approach of a low pressure area from the south southwest. The expectation remains that this storm will have a short-lived but significant impact on the region Monday (MLK Jr Day), with its track to determine precipitation type. While I wait for the guidance to help us figure out the storm’s interaction with some energy in the northern jet stream (the storm is being carried by a southern jet stream in a split flow), the leaning will still be toward yesterday’s outlook, a low track that passes over or just west of the WHW forecast area, with precipitation starting as snow inland and snow\/mix\/rain in coastal areas, with possibly a change to rain pushing inland, but not 100% certain this will happen just yet, so the wording of the detailed forecast will remain vague enough to cover this uncertainty, which will be detailed more on tomorrow’s and Sunday’s blog updates. The storm, in whatever form we see its precipitation, will exit late Monday and be followed by drier, colder weather Tuesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
