DAYS 1-5 (JANUARY 6-10)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The caboose of elongated low pressure will cross our region from west to east today – a potent upper level disturbance and a relatively weak surface low, in the process of redeveloping just south of New England, before heading quickly out to sea to our east. The event will be in the form of rain for much of the South Coast and MA South Shore up to Boston and the immediate coast from the MA North Shore to the NH Seacoast, with these areas mixing with and eventually turning to snow before ending, with up to but mostly less than 1 inch of accumulation of snow. The precipitation, starting as either rain or snow further inland, will flip to mostly snow, and may fall moderately a couple times, otherwise will be mostly on the light side, and it is in these areas that a 1 to 3 inch snowfall is most likely, mainly west of the I-95, with the 3 inch amounts most likely to occur in the Monadnock region of NH to the hills of central MA. The entire system exits by Friday evening, but colder air will create icy conditions on untreated surfaces, except along the South Shore and South Coast where it may remain sufficiently above freezing during the night to prevent this. As the weekend arrives we then enter a quiet stretch of weather. There will be a modest delivery of colder air from Canada during the weekend, most noticeable on Sunday. Monday, a low pressure system is expected to pass far enough south of our region to be a miss by all except some high cloudiness. A weak trough may pass by Tuesday with some clouds, otherwise it looks dry with a general west to northwesterly air flow across the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TODAY: Cloudy. Areas of fog this morning. Mix to snow develops west to east, except rain to mix ending as a period of snow along and east of I-95. Snow accumulation 1-3 inches I-495 belt westward, except under 1 inch in the southern portion of the I-495 belt and across the I-95 belt, with no accumulation South Shore and South Coast. Temperatures steady 30-37, coldest in higher elevations of central MA and southwestern NH. Wind NE-N up to 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TONIGHT: Cloudy early with snow\/mix exiting quickly from west to east. Icy ground on untreated surfaces except MA South Shore and South Coast region. Lows 25-32 except 33-40 South Shore \/ South Coast, mildest Cape Cod. Wind N-NW under 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SUNDAY: Sun and high clouds. Highs 35-42. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SUNDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 20-27. Wind W up to 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 6-10 (JANUARY 11-15)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The period starts with a shot of chilly air out of Canada, then the latest indications are high pressure to our north, low pressure to our south but far enough for mainly precipitation-free weather, but possibly with very limited sun, mid to late period. This is not a high confidence forecast, so pay attention to updates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (JANUARY 16-20)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Continued lower than average forecast confidence in this time range. Best indications are for mild weather and a lack of storminess in the region, but with active Pacific jet stream flow we will have to keep an eye out for disturbances that are not seen well or timed well by guidance this far in advance especially as depicted crossing the continent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
