DAYS 1-5 (FEBRUARY 2-6)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’s cloudy ….. again. (If you get the reference, give yourself a high-five). Happy Groundhog Day everybody. We’ve been living the movie in our own way lately, waking up day after day to a blanket of clouds as we have had nothing to mix up the atmosphere this week – a very stagnant pattern. However, things start to change today, but you’ll need some patience still. First, a cold front slides through the region from north to south and clouds continue to dominate. They may break at times for a touch of sun here and there as we go through the day, but any of those breaks will be limited. A wave of low pressure developing on the front as it pushes southward will slide eastward along it and clip Outer Cape Cod with a little rain early today, and behind this front some instability will create a few rain and snow showers in the region today into this evening. These will have limited impact, but wet ground left behind by them can freeze up on untreated surfaces tonight, so keep that in mind if you have plans to be out at all. Improvement will be a little bit slow to take place, especially in eastern areas, on Saturday, as we continue to see some additional clouds on a north northeast wind, especially along the coast and over Cape Cod where a few snow showers may occur. Otherwise, do expect to see more sun to the west, and eventually more to the east, as we move through the day Saturday. Sunday looks like the first fully sunny day in quite some time, with a seasonable chill that nobody will care about – just because it’s sunny finally! Fair weather will also continue into early next week, but by Tuesday, there may be an exception. A blocking pattern is evolving and this will put high pressure over the northeastern US and southeastern Canada, and force a large low pressure area moving through the Southeast off into the Atlantic well south of New England early next week. This system will have a large circulation, and by Tuesday, the combination of this system and the high to the north will send a northeasterly air flow into our region, potentially resulting in some ocean-effect snow showers in eastern areas, favoring southeastern MA \/ Cape Cod .. something to watch for now as it’s still several days away. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
TODAY: Mostly cloudy. Brief rain Cape Cod area. Scattered rain\/snow showers anywhere late morning on. Highs 37-44. Wind N up to 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TONIGHT: Clouds linger. Lows 20-27. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SATURDAY: Most clouds near the coast with Cape Cod snow shower chances. Partly sunny elsewhere. Highs 33-40. Wind N-NE 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SATURDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 16-22. Wind NW up to 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SUNDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 32-39. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SUNDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 17-23. Wind NW up to 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
MONDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 33-40. Wind N 5-15 mph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
MONDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 18-25. Wind N 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TUESDAY: Variably cloudy. Potential coastal snow showers favoring Cape Cod. Highs 31-38. Wind NE 10-20 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 6-10 (FEBRUARY 7-11)<\/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 7 to 8, favoring Cape Cod and MA South Shore. A weakening of the blocking later in the period allows more eastward movement of systems and brings potential unsettled weather to our region by February 10 or 11.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (FEBRUARY 12-16)<\/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":"
