DAYS 1-5 (JANUARY 20-24)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Part 1 of the storm system is done, having produced mostly rain and some sleet initially, then a turn to snow in areas to the north, as expected, with up to an inch or 2 of accumulation from the initial burst of snow in those areas. Today, the upper low portion of the system comes across with numerous to widespread snow showers and another couple inches accumulation in northern areas and up to around an inch in some areas to the south, and less than 1 inch for most areas south of I-90 to nothing along the South Coast where it will take longest for what starts as rain showers to transition to mix\/snow showers, and by then the moisture will have generally exited the region. This will happen this evening as drier air arrives and sets up an “ok” Saturday, not totally sunny, but precipitation-free and not too cold. But the active pattern rolls on and the next storm arrives later Sunday into Monday. Guidance has trended slightly colder with this over the last few runs, and we’ll continue to watch this, but for now expecting a rain event for the coast, rain\/mix\/snow potential inland, but just where and how much frozen precipitation is still unclear at this point. This will be addressed on the weekend blog forecast posts. After that second storm system, another small area of high pressure brings a break with fair weather for Tuesday. Also of note, the next few days high tides will cause at least minor flooding in prone areas at is one of the higher tides of 2023, astronomically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TODAY: Cloudy. Scattered snow showers except rain showers to the south morning. Numerous to widespread snow showers except rain showers changing to snow showers to the south.

Wind SE or variable 10-20 MPH with higher gusts, shifting to W with stronger gusts especially by late in the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 6-10 (JANUARY 25-29)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Next storm potential January 25 can produce a variety of precipitation, but unknown until the storm’s track is more clearly known. Quieter period of weather begins after that one but probably a bit colder than we\u2019ve been. Projection of a weaker disturbance passing by somewhere near the end of the period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (JANUARY 30 \u2013 FEBRUARY 3)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Quiet weather for the early portion of the period, and more seasonably chilly as well. Watching a storm threat way out there in time for around Groundhog Day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
