DAYS 1-5 (FEBRUARY 23-27)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A preview of spring today with very mild air over the region, although with a lot of clouds as we await a cold front. This front comes through with little fanfare today other than its wind shift. Tonight, the cold air drains in from Canada and becomes established through Thursday as high pressure builds over eastern Canada. And in classic New England fashion we’ll be dealing with a winter storm by the early hours of Friday, and then throughout the day into early Friday night, as low pressure coming out of the Midwest tracks just south of us, with cold air in place for a largely or completely frozen precipitation event. The wild card and biggest question to answer with this upcoming system is how much warm air will be involved aloft to change the snow to sleet and cut down the total accumulation. This is almost a certainty south of I-90 and especially toward the South Coast, where even some rain may get involved in the system as it makes its closest pass. This will be reflected in the accumulation amounts in the detailed forecast that follows this discussion. The system moves away Friday night, leaving us with a breezy and cold weekend with dry weather Saturday and a snow shower threat Sunday as a reinforcing cold front moves through the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
