DAYS 1-5 (JANUARY 17-21)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We will see a rare appearance of full sunshine for several hours today as we’re in an area of dry air behind the now-departed ocean storm, but clouds will be moving in quickly this afternoon ahead of the next low, approaching from the Midwest \/ northern Mid Atlantic. This system will be weakening and its precipitation shield may survive as a small area of light rain this evening before dissipating. The system will be in the process of being absorbed by the ocean storm Wednesday as we find ourselves in a northwesterly air flow behind it, with dry weather and a gusty breeze, but on the mild side since there is not really any cold air to be tapped just yet. A weak area of high pressure moves across the region Wednesday night into early Thursday with tranquil weather, but in this active pattern the next low, this one more formidable, makes its way into the Northeast during Thursday and Thursday night with extensive cloud cover and a shield of precipitation. The set-up for that system is a bit more complex, as at that time we’ll have colder air starting to press in from the north. While I think most start as rain (maybe some mix in southern NH), we likely see a transition to a larger area of sleet and snow where north of and up to the I-90 belt, but not exactly sure on timing and location for a rain\/sleet\/snow zones. That will be monitored and fine-tuned over the next couple days. This will be an elongated system with a trough behind the initial low passing through on Friday with additional precipitation, probably mostly snow showers, except rain\/mix\/snow to the south closer to the South Coast. Drier weather should be back with us for the start of the weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TODAY: Sun followed by clouds. Highs 39-46. Wind variable to W 5-10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy. A period of light rain possible during the evening. Lows 32-39. Wind S up to 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
WEDNESDAY: Mostly cloudy to partly sunny. Highs 45-52. Wind NW 5-15 MPH, a few higher gusts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy to mostly clear. Lows 24-31. Wind W under 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
THURSDAY: Sun followed by clouds. Rain arriving west to east afternoon, except possible rain\/sleet\/snow mix southern NH. Highs 38-45 but may turn cooler late-day. Wind variable to NE up to 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
THURSDAY NIGHT: Cloudy with rain\/mix\/snow likely with greatest chance of frozen\/mix in northern areas. Lows 31-38. Wind NE 10-20 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
FRIDAY: Mostly cloudy with mix\/snow showers likely. Highs 35-42. Wind N 10-20 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
FRIDAY NIGHT: Variably cloudy. Chance of snow showers. Lows 23-30. Wind NW 10-20 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SATURDAY: Sun\/cloud mix. Highs 35-42. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 6-10 (JANUARY 22-26)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Low pressure impact potentials January 22 into January 23, and again late in the period as we remain in an active pattern. Too soon to determine disturbance intensity and precipitation type. Temperatures mostly above normal, though variable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (JANUARY 27-31)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
General pattern looks like it leaves the door open for more seasonable cold, at least in 1 or 2 shots with passing disturbances originating further north than previously, but some guidance suggest one potential more substantial precipitation producer coming from Gulf of Mexico moisture, so that will be something to keep an eye on in the days ahead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
