DAYS 1-5 (JANUARY 26-30)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“A veritable heatwave!”, as a former local TV meteorologist used to say, was the phrase that came to mind at sunrise today when I’d looked at the observations and saw the temperature had gone up as much as 10 degrees in some parts of southern New England since midnight. This is in response to a relatively mild southwesterly air flow ahead of a trough. This trough may produce a couple snow flurries in the region today, otherwise its approach and passage will feature a gusty breeze but less cold than recent days have offered. This “less cold” feel will persist on Monday as well, but it will come with a price – even more wind, as the pressure gradient tightens up between a large eastward-moving Canadian low pressure area and an area of high pressure off to the south. But Monday’s weather will be dry. Tuesday, some changes happen quickly as a sharp cold front passes by. Timing on this feature seems to be sooner-rather-than-later on all available guidance, so I’m leaning toward morning-midday for the potential for passing snow showers and a possible heavier snow squall, a wind shift to northwest, some decent wind gusts, and a colder feel to the air during the day as a new air mass arrives from Canada. This one won’t have the bite of the recent one, but will still feature a return to below normal temperatures. This sets the state for a short-lived unsettled weather event Wednesday as a clipper low moves quickly across the Northeast via Canada and the Great Lakes. I’m still in the process of pinning down the exact track of the low pressure center, because that will determine who sees a period of accumulating snow (light to potentially borderline moderate amounts) and who sees just a few snow showers, maybe even mix\/rain showers (south). These details will be available on tomorrow morning’s update, but check the comments section during the day today for some potential thoughts as I gather more data \/ guidance during the day. Whatever that system brings, it’s out of here by evening on Wednesday, and high pressure builds this way with fair, cold weather Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TODAY: An overcast start to the day South Coast \/ MA South Shore areas. Otherwise, sun\/cloud mix. Chance of a passing snow flurry midday on. Highs 32-39. Wind SW 5-15 MPH, higher gusts, shifting to W.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TONIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 18-25. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
MONDAY: Partly cloudy to mostly sunny. Highs 31-38. Wind W 10-20 MPH, higher gusts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
MONDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear to partly cloudy. Lows 19-26. Wind W 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TUESDAY: Variably cloudy morning-midday with snow showers likely and a possible heavier snow squall, then partly to mostly sunny thereafter. Highs 28-35 by mid morning, then falling back into \/ through the 20s gradually. Wind W shifting to NW 15-25 mph, gusts 25-45 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TUESDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear evening. Clouding up overnight. Lows 15-22. Wind N 10-20 MPH early, diminishing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
WEDNESDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of snow or snow showers except possibly rain\/snow showers South Coast. Highs 28-35. Wind variable 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Clearing. Lows 12-19. Wind NW 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
THURSDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 26-33. Wind NW 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 6-10 (JANUARY 31 \u2013 FEBRUARY 4)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fair, cold weather January 31. Unsettled weather potential increases during the February 1-2 weekend – medium range guidance inconsistent on what takes place, but meteorologically I’m leaning toward a cold scenario with strung out low pressure to the south and cold high pressure to the north, bringing a chance of snow\/mix. While some guidance has this lingering beyond, I lean toward a fair weather scenario for February 3-4 with below normal temperatures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (FEBRUARY 5-9)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A mid-period unsettled \/ storm potential between episodes of dry weather. Temperatures variable – not far from normal overall.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
