DAYS 1-5 (JANUARY 30 \u2013 FEBRUARY 3)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We’re in the midst of having a trough swing through with a couple of frontal boundaries. One has gone by with little fanfare, only lots of clouds and a few sprinkles of rain yesterday. The second one has a little more punch to it and brings some rain and snow showers, but not until this evening and tonight, so we get a daylight that is precipitation-free today. With the front coming by tonight and moving away from the region Tuesday, we get another dry day and slightly colder to end the month of January. Canadian high pressure brings seasonably cold weather for midweek. I’ve been trying to figure out if a wave or two of low pressure should impact the region with any snow during this time, and the strongest indications are now that this activity will remain mostly to our south, with just the chance of the northern edge of a snow shield scraping the South Coast in the early hours of Wednesday. Meanwhile, an extension of a wobbly Polar Vortex will be moving its way south southeastward across Canada and is destined to catch our area for a brief time starting Friday. However, even a brief visit by this feature can result in some extreme cold, and that will arrive with the passage of an arctic front on Friday, during the day, which may be accompanied by some snow showers and squalls, but will certainly be followed by a stinging wind and a plunging temperature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TODAY: A sun\/cloud mix. Highs 42-49. Wind W 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TONIGHT: Variably cloudy. Rain to mix to snow showers arrive north and west late evening and progress southeastward during the overnight hours, with a potential quick coating of snow and temporarily slippery surfaces. Lows 25-32. Wind SW 5-15 MPH with higher gusts, shifting to NW overnight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TUESDAY: Sun and passing clouds. Highs 28-35. Wind NW 10-20 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TUESDAY NIGHT: Clouds return. A pre-dawn to sunrise period of snow possible South Coast with a very minor accumulation potential. Lows 15-22. Wind N 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
WEDNESDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 25-32. Wind N 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 13-20. Wind NW up to 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
THURSDAY: Partly sunny. Highs 33-40. Wind W 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
THURSDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 23-30. Wind W 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
FRIDAY: Partly cloudy with a passing snow shower\/squall possible morning, then sunny. Highs 25-32 early, then falling through the 20s and 10s to below 10 by evening. Wind W 5-15 MPH with higher gusts, shifting to NNW 10-20 MPH with higher gusts. Wind chill falling below zero during the afternoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 6-10 (FEBRUARY 4-8)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A brief shot of extreme cold to start the weekend with February 4 seeing low temperatures that should range from -15 to -10 in interior southern NH and north central MA to -10 to -5 from the NH Seacoast through the interior portions of eastern MA to -5 to 0 in the I-95 belt from northeastern MA to northern RI, and 0-5 along the South Coast with a slow recovery of temperature back to 10-18 by the end of the day, along with dangerously cold wind chills especially the first half of the day before easing up later. As is typically the case, these episodes of extreme cold tend to be short-lived and we’ll see a temperature moderation continuing on the night of February 4 through the day February 5 when a disturbance and return of milder air may bring some snow\/mix showers to the region for a time. Another frontal boundary brings back slightly colder air for early to mid next week and at that time we may need to watch for a wave of low pressure potentially threatening the region with some wintry precipitation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (FEBRUARY 9-13)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Watching for potential wintry precipitation episodes mid to late period with variable temperatures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
