DAYS 1-5 (FEBRUARY 9-13)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Low pressure tracks through the eastern Great Lakes and across southeastern Canada today into Friday, dragging its warm front \/ cold front combo through our region. This will be a minor precipitation producer with only areas of light rain arriving this afternoon into tonight and maybe a left over rain shower early Friday. Behind the cold front, the air will actually be warmer than today’s ahead of warm front air, with a couple record highs potentially being challenged. A secondary cold front will sweep across the region Friday evening setting us up for a cooler weekend, but no major cold and certainly a far, far cry from the arctic blast of late last week. Generally dry weather is expected for the weekend, but low pressure organizing to our south will spread cloudiness back into our region during Sunday. While this low, fueled by Gulf of Mexico moisture and a southern branch of the jet stream, will pass not all that far south of New England, a strong northern jet stream in a split flow will likely limit its ability to impact our region, with the northern extent of the precipitation shield potentially advancing into our region for some wet weather Sunday night into Monday, but favoring the South Coast and areas south of I-90 as it stands now. It’s going to be a close call though. A slight shift either way expands the precipitation northward or pulls it mainly offshore. Whatever does make it into our region will likely fall as rain with a significant lack of cold air remaining, but the temperature may be marginal especially inland, so if the precipitation did happen to make it further north and west into the region, some mix\/snow would have to be considered. For now, this is a remote possibility, and I’ll keep an eye on the potential heading through late week and into the weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 6-10 (FEBRUARY 14-18)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A broad southwesterly air flow aloft will be the dominant feature as low pressure troughing dominates the western US with the all-too-familiar Southeast ridge in place to our south. Surface high pressure brings fair weather for Valentine’s Day before a disturbance brings the chance of rain showers February 15. Watching for another system with rain and possible mix in the February 16-17 window with dry weather to follow that. Temperatures averaging above normal, may cool to normal end of period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (FEBRUARY 19-23)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One or two precipitation threats are possible in a fairly active pattern. Temperatures trend a little cooler but no major cold indicated at this point.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
