DAYS 1-5 (FEBRUARY 1-5)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We open the month of February with a wave of low pressure to the south having been close enough for another very minor South Coast snowfall, even extending up to parts of the South Shore of MA. That moves out quickly and we see dry and seasonably chilly weather across our region for the balance of today as well as through Thursday too, as high pressure becomes the main driver of the midweek weather here. Look out though! Here comes a short-lived, sharp blast of arctic air – the coldest we will see since a similar occurrence on February 14 of 2016. The cold front will go through around dawn on Friday, give or take an hour or two either side, from northwest to southeast, and may be accompanied by a brief snow shower or snow squall, especially in southern NH and northern MA as any of that activity will be tending to dry up as it heads southward. Then it’s Montreal Express time as we watch the temperature plunge and the wind blow, putting us into the deep freeze for the balance of Friday, through the night, and well into the day on Saturday, with conditions starting to ease up as we move through the day Saturday – less wind with time and a very slow temperature recover. When you have a deep arctic shot timed this way, the temperatures the following night don’t tend to fall again, but stay fairly steady or even rise, and that’s what I expect Saturday night. Heading into Sunday, a significant recovery continues and takes the region back above freezing for high temperatures. Earlier thoughts of some unsettled weather with the return of the mild air have been abandoned in favor of dry conditions with just some varying amounts of cloudiness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’ll be near a frontal boundary with at least a fair amount of clouds at times and possible precipitation a couple times during the first few days of the period. Fair\/dry\/seasonably chilly weather returns later in the period, based on current timing and expected pattern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
