DAYS 1-5 (FEBRUARY 12-16)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A winter storm is on the way, but not today. Today we’ll have sun that will fade behind increasing clouds later today in advance of the storm system, so commuting to and front work and school today, even this evening, will be no issue. But things change notably by Tuesday morning when a shield of precipitation arrives and traverses the region during the course of the day. The storm system responsible for this upcoming event is currently in the form of a low pressure area moving into the Tennessee Valley and as it reaches the Appalachians, it will spawn a new low in the Delmarva region, which will then track east northeastward passing just southeast of New England by later Tuesday. Temperatures will be marginal enough that the precipitation can start as rain from about the Providence RI to Plymouth MA area eastward through Cape Cod, but most of these areas will go over to snow fairly quickly during the morning – though it will take longer on Outer Cod and Nantucket to do so. Elsewhere, it’s just a straight snow event. But it doesn’t last long, and it’s already pulling eastward and out of the region by late afternoon and gone by evening. The snowfall amounts that will appear below in the detailed forecast will reflect a tiny tick southward in the heaviest snow amounts, but there are no big changes other than to trim a little off the higher amounts in southern NH and north central MA. Behind Tuesday’s event, we can expect cold February weather heading through the remainder of the week. A cold front passing by Wednesday morning or midday may bring a few snow showers with it, and a small, fast-moving low pressure area will bring a quick shot of accumulating snow Thursday night and early Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Expected snow accumulations 1-3 inches Nantucket and Martha\u2019s Vineyard, 3-6 Cape Cod and immediate South Coast of MA\/RI\/CT, as well as interior southern NH to far north central MA, 6-10 inches elsewhere, with pocket amounts of 10-12 inches favoring the Worcester MA area to northern RI. Temperatures steady 30-37 through midday, falling into the 20s by evening. Wind NE 10-20 MPH inland and 15-30 MPH coast, higher gusts likely especially MA South Shore through Cape Cod and Islands, over 40 MPH at times in those areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 6-10 (FEBRUARY 17-21)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Low pressure brings a chance of snow to the region early on February 17. Another disturbance brings a chance of snow showers on February 18. Generally dry weather thereafter. Temperatures below normal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
