DAYS 1-5 (JANUARY 19-23)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An active weather pattern continues and we’ll be dealing with two storms during the next 5 days. The first one heads into our region today and lingers through Friday. It takes place as low pressure heading into the eastern Great Lakes redevelops off the northern Mid Atlantic Coast, just south of New England, and heads eastward. With a little more cold air around than in some of our recent events, we have a rain\/snow line to deal with. Precipitation arrives toward dusk for areas to the west and near or just after dusk further east, mainly as rain but some mix\/snow near and north of the MA\/NH border, where it will remain steady state for the first few hours, before the rain\/snow line begins a trek to the south during the late evening and overnight hours. The first batch of precipitation will taper off during the overnight, but not before a burst of moderate to heavy snow brings some accumulation to southern NH and a good portion of northern MA. After the surface storm departs, we still have the upper level low to go through the region on Friday from west to east, as the colder air continues to push southward, so this time the rain\/snow line will continue further south and across the MA South Shore and the South Coast regions. The precipitation with the Friday portion of the system will not be as heavy, but it will be enough to add to the snow already on the ground to the north, and introduce some accumulation heading further south as well. When this system is done by later Friday evening, ending as snow showers, I expect that a solid 3-6 inches will have fallen across southern NH and northern MA, mainly north of the Route 2 \/ I-95 belt, with even a few 6+ amounts in higher elevations of north central MA and southwestern NH. We get a break Saturday between systems, a fair weather day with a narrow area of high pressure, and then the next system approaches during Sunday. There are still some questions with this one, but current indications are that the track of low pressure will cut more across our region, allowing enough warming so that more rain than snow will be involved, although we’d have to watch for snow at the start and possibly the end, especially for northern and western portions of the area. Of course, fine-tuning will be done for this event during the next few days with a solid final call by Sunday’s blog post. This system lingers into Monday before we see improvement arriving, but the departure of that system may come with quite a bit of wind as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TODAY: Sun followed by clouds. Rain arriving west to east afternoon, except possible sleet and snow interior northern MA and southern NH. Highs 38-45 but may turn cooler late-day. Wind variable to NE up to 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TONIGHT: Overcast. Sleet\/snow southern NH and northern MA, rain to the south, slowly transitioning to mix\/snow into the Route 2 \/ I-95 region of northern and northeastern MA while remaining mostly rain to the south, tapering off overnight. Lows 30-37. Wind NE 10-20 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
FRIDAY: Cloudy. Periodic snow, except rain\/mix turning to snow southern areas. Temperatures steady 30-37. 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
SATURDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 17-24. Wind N up to 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SUNDAY: Increasing clouds. Rain and some inland northern area mix\/snow possible by late-day. Highs 37-44. Wind variable up to 10 MPH becoming NE to E and increasing to 10-20 MPH by late-day and evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SUNDAY NIGHT: Overcast. Rain likely except rain\/mix\/snow possible southern NH and interior northern MA. Lows 32-39. Wind E to SE 10-20 MPH, possibly stronger in coastal areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
MONDAY: Overcast with rain to start, tapering off to showers then ending. Breaking clouds follow. Highs 40-47. Wind SE to SW 15-25 MPH, shifting to W with higher gusts especially later in the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 6-10 (JANUARY 24-28)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Next storm potential around January 25 can produce a variety of precipitation, but may end up being a colder storm than the previous one. Quieter period of weather begins after that one but probably a bit colder than we’ve been.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (JANUARY 29 \u2013 FEBRUARY 2)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Quiet weather for the early to middle portion of the period, and more seasonably chilly as well. Watching a storm threat for later in the period.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
