DAYS 1-5 (FEBRUARY 1-5)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We start the second month of 2024 much the way we ended the first one: grey. Any breaks in the stubborn cloud cover that appeared in southern NH and northeastern MA overnight quickly fill back in today and even above that some mid level cloud cover is moving in ahead of an approaching warm front. You’ll hardly notice any impact from that warm front in terms of precipitation (none) and temperature (modest rise at best today). Tonight, a cold front swings through the region, also largely devoid of precipitation – only the slightest chance of a rain or snow shower with its passage north to south. During Friday, this front will temporarily slow down near the South Coast as a ripple of low pressure moves along it. This will induce a shield of precipitation along the South Coast for a few to several hours in the morning to midday hours. This looks like it will fall mostly as rain, but marginal temperatures can allow some mix or a brief turn to snow in some areas before the area exits with the departure of the low pressure wave. Unfortunately, sun seekers will need another day of patience as clearing looks like it will be delayed until after sunset on Friday. If anybody gets lucky enough to see some breaks in the cloud cover and a hint of brighter sky at least, it will be north and northwest of Boston toward the end of the day. Finally, there’s better news for the weekend and Monday as a high pressure area building into the Great Lakes will send a drier northerly breeze into our region, and while it will be seasonably chilly, we’ll have 3 days of sunshine! And after a long break without a fully sunny day, you’re going to notice that the brightness of the day begins a little earlier in the morning and lasts a little later in the late afternoon with sun now setting after 5:00 p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 6-10 (FEBRUARY 6-10)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A blocking pattern will be in place keeping high pressure to our west and north while a large ocean storm spins to our southeast. A north to northeast air flow here will keep it chilly. Enough northeasterly component may induce ocean effect snow showers any day from February 6 to 8, favoring Cape Cod and MA South Shore, but too soon to pinpoint how high the chance is and what the result would be. Just something to keep in mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (FEBRUARY 11-15)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Blocking weakens and we see 1 or 2 storm chances by mid February. Temperatures near to slightly below normal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
