DAYS 1-5 (JANUARY 14-18)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Colder times are ahead in a more sustained way than we’ve seen for a while. It starts with the passage of an arctic cold front today. This front will cross the region from west to east this afternoon and produce a band of convection. While there may be an isolated rain\/snow shower ahead of it and some isolated to scattered snow showers\/squalls behind it, the main line, which I expect to cross the WHW forecast area between about 2:30 and 6:00 p.m., will be pretty solid across most of the area. There may be rain involved in it the further east and southeast you are, with higher chance of that south of Boston, but even areas that start with rain can flip very quickly to snow. Thunder is possible with the main convective band, and snowfall rates that can drop up to 2 inches of snow in under a 1 hour period. Strong wind gusts and very low visibility will accompany this line. Also, a quick accumulation of snow, even if rain falls first, will freeze rather quickly as darkness falls and temperatures drop behind the frontal boundary. Please be aware of these hazards if out and about this afternoon and evening. Monitor much like you’d monitor for possible thunderstorms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cold air settles in tonight and hangs around for the Monday MLK Jr holiday and beyond. Our next storm threat will be a wave of low pressure on an offshore frontal boundary passing by to our southeast on Tuesday and Tuesday night. This looks like it will produce a widespread light to moderate snowfall for the region mainly Tuesday afternoon and evening. Dry and cold weather returns after this event for midweek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TODAY: Mostly sunny morning. Clouds advance west to east afternoon with a few isolated rain\/snow showers by mid afternoon then a squall line of mostly snow and some graupel (some rain east of I-95 mainly south of Boston) with accumulations of a coating to 1 inch of snow likely and locally up to 2 inches, including possible thunder. Watch for rapid icing up of untreated surfaces during and after. Highs 36-43. Wind SW 15-25 MPH shifting to W by late in the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TONIGHT: Partly cloudy with a brief snow shower\/squall possible early, then clearing. Lows 16-23. Wind W 5-15 MPH. Wind chill falling below 10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
MONDAY (MLK JR DAY): Mostly sunny. Highs 25-32. Wind W 5-15 MPH, higher gusts possible. Wind chill below 20 at times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
MONDAY NIGHT: Clear evening. Clouds arrive overnight. Lows 16-23. Wind SW under 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TUESDAY: Clouds thicken. Snow develops during the afternoon south to north. Highs 25-32. Wind N to NE 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TUESDAY NIGHT: Cloudy in the evening with snow likely. Expected snowfall accumulation 3 to 5 inches but under 3 inches possible South Coast. Breaking clouds overnight. Lows 15-22. Wind NE to N 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
WEDNESDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 27-34. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Clear. Lows 12-19. Wind NW up to 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 6-10 (JANUARY 19-23)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Colder \/ active pattern continues. Watching for a winter storm threat later January 19 into the start of the January 20-21 weekend. Another disturbance may bring snow showers later in the period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (JANUARY 24-28)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cold eases with more seasonable temperatures heading into late month, but the pattern remains active with at least one storm threat during this period, leaning mid period.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
