DAYS 1-5 (FEBRUARY 11-15)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We’re post cold front, but it’s not going to be that chilly a day today – noticeably cooler than yesterday, yes, but still above normal for the season. Cold air does drain in slowly, but it’s going to take its time doing so, using up all of the available time through Monday evening ahead of an approaching storm. So today, it’s a gusty breeze and a dry day to be had with a sun \/ cloud mix. Tonight we clear out, and Monday we see increasing high clouds ahead of the aforementioned storm system. Storm? What’s up with that? Hey now it’s winter in New England, and just because much of the region hasn’t seen much up until now, that means little or nothing going forward. Why? You remember the gradual transition pattern change I talked about? Well, it’s changed. And we have a winter storm inbound – one that’s going to have some impact on the entire region. One change I am making to the previous forecast is lessening the chance that any rain is involved. This because the precipitation onset is late enough (Tuesday morning) that it’ll be cold enough across virtually all of the region to support snow. And any areas along the South Coast that start as rain will flip to snow in fairly short order. The upcoming storm will produce a moderate to borderline heavy snowfall for the vast majority of the region. Only the immediate South Coast and especially Outer Cape Cod and Nantucket may come in on the lighter side, because of the milder atmospheric profile there making it harder for the snow to accumulate, with a lower snow to water ratio. The snowfall amounts in the detailed forecast will reflect that. The timing on the storm’s precipitation is generally about dawn to dusk Tuesday. A coastal flood threat exists for the Tuesday high tide, as the tides are astronomically high anyway, and it won’t take much to create splashover and some low lying inundation up to a foot or so. This should just be for one tide cycle though. Tuesday night, the storm’s gone. Midweek features mainly dry and cold weather, along with wind. Brr! The snow that falls Tuesday is not going to be going anywhere for a while.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TUESDAY: Overcast. Snow, may begin as rain along the South Coast and will likely start as rain over the islands where it will take longer to change to snow.

Temperatures steady 30-37 through midday, falling into the 20s by evening. Wind NE 10-20 MPH, higher gusts possible along the coast, shifting to N.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
