DAYS 1-5 (FEBRUARY 3-7)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A blocking pattern helps us return to brighter weather this weekend. Caveat: The return to sun will be delayed along the coast south of Boston as a north northeast wind drives a deck of clouds onshore for a good part of the day today – even potentially producing a few snow showers from the MA South Shore to Cape Cod. It won’t stay 100% sunny elsewhere though as there are some higher level cloud patches that will be moving southward in the upper flow over the region. There will be enough of a wind shift to north northwest later in the day though to drive the lower cloud deck to sea. As the weekend goes along, high pressure at the surface extending from the Great Lakes to southeastern Canada provides us with dry weather. Meanwhile, the first of two large ocean storms spins well to our southeast and east this weekend. The pattern provides generally sunny weather for the entire region both Sunday and Monday. During the weekend, as part of the large scale blocking pattern in place, a storm will travel eastward through the US Southeast. This low will emerge off the Atlantic Coast and spin in the waters to our south during the first half of next week. By Tuesday and Wednesday, the circulation between it and the high pressure area to our north will enhance a northeast wind flow and drive more clouds back into coastal areas, especially southeastern MA and RI by Tuesday and Wednesday. These areas are also most likely to see some ocean effect snow showers that may develop and move into the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TODAY: A cloud canopy lingers MA South Shore through Cape Cod \/ Islands where a few snow showers are possible before some later-day clearing. Elsewhere, more sunshine but intervals of high and middle clouds as well. Highs 33-40. Wind N-NE 5-15 MPH, gusts over 20 MPH, especially coast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TONIGHT: 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 THROUGH WEDNESDAY: Variably cloudy. Potential coastal snow showers favoring Cape Cod. Highs 31-38. Lows 21-28. Wind NE 10-20 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 6-10 (FEBRUARY 8-12)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Blocking eases and shifts enough to allow a more west to east flow to evolve. High pressure maintains control of our weather with dry conditions and a moderating trend later in the week. From later on February 9 into February 10 a trough from the west will swing through with the potential for some rain\/snow shower activity and by the end of the period we may have impact from another low pressure area as well as the subtropical jet stream will become more active across the country in the days ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (FEBRUARY 13-17)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A more active pattern sends 1 or 2 potential storm systems our way at mid month. Variable temperatures during the period – no major extremes indicated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
