DAYS 1-5 (JANUARY 20-24)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A “used” Arctic airmass gives us a cold weekend. This air is indirect in its delivery, having modified after freezing areas to our west over the last several days, so we do not get the brunt of that, but a lesser version. Nevertheless, it’ll be our coldest daytime of the season so far today, with clouds dominant as a weak trough of low pressure crosses the region. A weak surface boundary will help wring out some snow showers this afternoon and evening that can coat the ground easily if they come down heavy enough or long enough. A gusty breeze will contribute to a stinging wind chill. Sunday, we see more sun and a very slight temperature moderation as a weak ridge of high pressure moves into the region. High pressure sinks to the south of our region Monday allowing temperatures to return to seasonable, or even a slight bit above normal with continued fair weather. This “milder” air holds into Tuesday, but don’t expect it to be a warm day. This is only a slightly warmer than normal air mass flowing over an icy snow cover in much of the region and is comparable to moving from your freezer to your refrigerator. And even the modest warm-up will be somewhat short-lived. Not that we’re going back to the levels of this weekend, but cold high pressure in eastern Canada will send a front down from the north later Tuesday, with colder air arriving. At the same time, Pacific moisture, having made a cross-country trek, will arrive Tuesday night, just in time to wring out some snow across the region. The boundary that moved through late Tuesday does try to come back as a warm front by Wednesday, but may have difficulty doing so. For now I’d lean toward a cloud-dominated, near to above normal temperature day Wednesday, with the potential for a fairly wide temperature contrast from north to south. However, there are a few more days to work out the intricate details there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TODAY: Mostly cloudy. Late-day snow showers. Highs 18-25. Wind N 5-15 MPH, higher gusts. Wind chill as low as 10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy early with lingering snow showers mainly I-95 & I-90 regions east and south. Partly cloudy overnight. Lows 6-13. Wind N 5-15 MPH, higher gusts. Wind chill near to below 0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SUNDAY: Sunny. Highs 24-31. Wind NW 5-15 MPH. Wind chill near to below 20.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SUNDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 12-19. Wind W 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
MONDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 32-39. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
MONDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 22-29. Wind W 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TUESDAY: Increasing clouds. Highs 33-40 by midday, then turning colder. Wind shifting to NE 5-15 MPH, then diminishing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TUESDAY NIGHT: Cloudy. Snow likely. Lows 23-30. Wind NE under 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
WEDNESDAY: Cloudy. Chance mix\/rain at night. Highs 35-42 north, 43-50 south. Wind variable up to 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 6-10 (JANUARY 25-29)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One more push of mild air combined with a disturbance brings a rain chance to the region to start the period, but if cold air remains locked in at the surface, some icy conditions cannot be ruled out in some areas to the north. Colder air wins out and look for a potential weekend (January 27-28) winter weather event, followed by a drier, colder end to the period, based on current expected timing in the medium range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (JANUARY 30 \u2013 FEBRUARY 3)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another winter weather threat around mid period. Temperatures variable, probably slightly above normal for the period.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
