DAYS 1-5 (JANUARY 27-31)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The final 5 days of the first month of 2025 are upon us and as I try to forecast them on this morning’s update, I find the confidence level goes from high to low fairly quickly as we progress through time. Here’s what I know is most likely, and then what I think will take place moving forward. Today will be a bright, breezy day as we sit in a westerly air flow between Canadian low pressure and an area of high pressure to our south. While it won’t be that cold by late January standards, the breeze will give the air a bite. A sharp cold front trailing the aforementioned Canadian low will dive southeastward through our region Tuesday morning as that low pulls east to the eastward into Atlantic Canada. This front can cause a snow shower or heavier snow squall as it moves through the region between sunrise and late morning, northwest to southeast. Any areas that get these can see a short-lived but significant reduction in visibility from falling \/ blowing snow, and a quick coating that can slicken up untreated surfaces quickly. Fair, windy weather follows that front, with falling temperatures. Quick on the heels of this system is a clipper low, which moves our way via the Great Lakes Wednesday. I do think the track of this low will take it right across our region, probably a little bit north of I-90, and it will be slightly elongated in orientation, with a bit of a warm frontal snow burst initially, starting pre-dawn to early morning Wednesday. This is where most of the accumulation of a coating to 2 inches will occur. The 1 and 2 inch snow amounts are most likely in northern MA and southern NH, with under 1 inch from the I-90 belt southward as my expectation. There should be a quick taper off of the steadier snow, followed by a passing snow shower potential in the afternoon as a trough \/ elongated back side of this low passes through. It may have even warmed up enough during the day to make these showers in the form of rain closer to the South Coast. Regardless, behind this system comes a one-day shot of arctic air along with wind for Thusrday. Get ready for that shock to the system! But it doesn’t last long, with the cold easing a little bit and much less wind for Friday. This is where the uncertainty level regarding the next storm threat grows. Most recent medium range guidance varies in its timing of this system, with the quicker guidance bringing it in during the day \/ evening on Friday, and slower guidance holding it off so Friday is a dry day. I’m playing the middle ground on today’s update, with my forecast calling for increasing clouds ahead of the system, but stay tuned for updates as this event’s timing becomes easier to pin down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
