DAYS 1-5 (JANUARY 23-27)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A case of the Stormy Monday Blues starts our week off as the system that arrived yesterday with some light snow late yesterday and rain coast with snow well inland last night continues to impact the region during today. The center of low pressure has moved across the Islands and Outer Cape Cod over the last few hours and as it moves away today, the back side of its elongated center will be part of a trough that extends back away from the low. After more spotty mixed precipitation to the northwest and rain to the south to start the day, a steadier lobe of mix to snow will swing through the region from midday through the afternoon hours, resulting in a period of snow, expected to accumulate another 1 to 3 inches in general across southern NH and down to about I-90 and along the I-95 belt as well, with areas to the southeast of here seeing less than 1 inch of accumulation (I’ve left the storm total accumulation in the forecast section below which reads very similar to yesterday’s as areas of southern NH and north central MA have already had some accumulation from the first part of the storm, and this is included in the total there. This storm system pulls out of the region tonight and the promised break in the action comes on Tuesday as we’ll be in a drier northwesterly air flow behind the departing storm system. A cold front will be moving out of eastern Canada into New England at that time, but its snow shower activity will be confined to the mountains and we’ll only see some patchy clouds down in the WHW forecast area. A small area of high pressure in eastern Canada extends down into our area Tuesday night and very early Wednesday with dry and slightly colder weather. But the break is short-lived, as the well-advertised active pattern rolls on. The next low pressure area makes a run at the eastern Great Lakes later Wednesday and is destined to redevelop with its secondary center moving right across our region early on Thursday before moving quickly and steadily away by later Thursday. The precipitation scenario with this one will be a snow to rain event, maybe some sleet in the transition, with the typical south to north progression of a changeover line sometime Wednesday night after some areas deal with snow accumulation. A quick ending to the rain comes Thursday morning followed by dry weather later Thursday and Friday as low pressure departs and high pressure moves in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TODAY: Overcast. Showery precipitation this morning as mostly rain but pockets of freezing rain and eventually some sleet\/snow north central MA and southwestern NH. Steadier mix to snow west to east midday through afternoon. Total storm snowfall accumulation including what has fallen in northwestern portions of the area: 4-8 inches interior southern NH and north central MA with isolated amounts of greater than 8 inches possible in the highest elevations, 2-4 inches NH Seacoast down I-495 belt to I-90 region, 1 to 2 inches I-95 corridor, under 1 inch southeast of I-95 to little or nothing along the South Coast. Highs 33-40 except over 40 South Coast. Wind NE to N 10-20 MPH, strongest near the coast where higher gusts are possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TONIGHT: Evening snow showers possible especially eastern and southern areas, otherwise breaking clouds. Lows 22-29. Wind W 10-20 MPH, gusty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TUESDAY: Partly sunny. Highs 33-40. Wind NW 10-20 MPH, gusty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TUESDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 17-24. Wind N up to 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Overcast with snow\/mix transitioning to mix\/rain. Temperatures steady or rising slightly. Wind E-SE 10-20 MPH, higher gusts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
THURSDAY: Cloudy with rain ending west to east during the morning. Breaking clouds afternoon. Highs 38-45 except 46-53 South Coast \/ Cape Cod. Wind variable 5-15 MPH becoming W 10-20 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
THURSDAY NIGHT: Clearing. Lows 17-24. Wind NW 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 6-10 (JANUARY 28 – FEBRUARY 1)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mostly dry but not totally dry weather expected for the January 28-29 weekend as we watch a cold front bring potential snow showers Saturday and an approaching warm front maybe bring some patchy snow to western and northern areas at some point Sunday, but not a “stormy” weekend. Trough \/ low pressure moves through with unsettled weather January 30. Generally fair and seasonably chilly weather with high pressure moving in for the final day of January and first day of February based on current timing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (FEBRUARY 2-6)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is when we enter a period of seasonably cold and potentially unsettled weather with 1 or 2 systems to bring winter precipitation opportunities. Will work out timing and details as these threats get closer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
