DAYS 1-5 (FEBRUARY 16-20)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We finally have a pattern that brings the feel of winter for a string of days. Last night’s minor snowfall, while quick-hitting and not dropping much accumulation (generally a coating to just over 1 inch), leaves behind some icy areas where a partial melt and then re-freeze took place. Be aware of that if going outside today. In addition, a couple plumes of snow showers are about the region (one in southwestern and south central NH and another in central MA as of sunrise). These will dawdle about the region for a little while and will lower visibility and cause some additional minor snowfall accumulation where they are, but they should dissipate later on. Otherwise, look for a mainly dry but windy and cold day for the region in the wake of departing low pressure. Wind slackens later today and settles down tonight as a sliver of high pressure moves across the region. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The weather during the upcoming 3-day weekend will be governed by a trio of weather systems. Saturday, low pressure races eastward and tracks just south of New England, but far enough south that a shield of snow accompanying it only dusts areas south of I-90 with a brief period of light snow, while no more than a few flakes visit areas to the north. However, areas that largely miss out on the synoptic snow from the passing low to the south do stand the chance of seeing a passing snow shower from an upper level trough late in the day Saturday. Another low pressure area tracks quickly eastward across northern New England on Sunday, and with cold air in place this can bring a few snow showers to areas mainly north of I-90. The wind picks back up again on Sunday with the passage of that system, but not to the levels we will see during today. Finally, high pressure moves into the region for the Monday holiday with dry, more tranquil, but still chilly weather, which will also last through Tuesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TODAY: Sun\/cloud mix. Snow showers possible especially west of I-495 early to mid morning with briefly low visibility and small accumulation possible. Highs 33-40. Wind NW 15-25 MPH, gusts as high as 35-45 MPH, strongest through early afternoon with a gradual diminishment thereafter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TONIGHT: A few passing low clouds evening departing to the east. Increasing high clouds overnight. Lows 20-27. Wind W diminishing to under 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SATURDAY: Overcast through mid afternoon – thickest to the south of I-90 where a period of light snow can result in a minor accumulation, and thinner to the north where the sun may be seen through it but a few snowflakes can fall. A clearing trend begins toward the end of the day. Highs 30-37. Wind W to variable up to 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SATURDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy to mostly clear. Lows 13-20. Wind variable to W up to 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SUNDAY: Partly cloudy. A passing snow shower possible. Highs 30-37. Wind W 10-20 MPH with higher gusts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SUNDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 12-19. Wind NW 10-20 MPH with higher gusts in the evening. Wind chill below 10 in the evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
MONDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 27-34. Wind NW 5-15 MPH, diminishing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
MONDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 15-22. Wind W under 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TUESDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 33-40. Wind W to variable up to 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 6-10 (FEBRUARY 21-25)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Disturbances around February 22 and 24 bring what look like fairly minor precipitation threat, otherwise a mostly dry weather pattern is anticipated. Temperatures start out somewhat above normal then trend slightly colder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (FEBRUARY 26 – MARCH 1)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One or two additional unsettled weather threats take place this period, but far too soon to try to determine the magnitude and details of any threats. Temperatures near to slightly above normal for the period but with day-to-day variability.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
