DAYS 1-5 (JANUARY 29 \u2013 FEBRUARY 2)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A batch of snow crossed the region overnight, generated by a warm front ahead of a clipper low pressure system. This low is passing just north of the WHW forecast area today and will drive its cold front through the region this afternoon, triggered showers of rain and snow, some of which may be strong enough to produce lightning and thunder. Wherever these visit, reduced visibility and strong wind gusts can occur, but they will be short-lived. Behind the front, cold air rushes back in after a milder interlude today, and a surviving Great Lakes snow plume may bring another snow shower to parts of the region tonight. This will be followed by fair but cold weather Thursday as a bubble of high pressure moves across the region. The windy weather of tonight will ease Thursday though. As mentioned in the previous discussion, things are moving quickly in the atmosphere, and the next low pressure system moves in on Friday, bringing enough of a warm up so even if areas start as snow, it turns into a mainly rain event, but as this elongated low is pulling away, enough cold air lingering just to the north will start to filter in, and the precipitation can end as a mix or snow in some areas, especially southern NH and northern MA, Friday evening and night. Saturday will feature fair and colder weather with high pressure moving in. But then the next low pressure area in the series moves our way Sunday. This system looks somewhat similar to the one we are involved with today, with clouds moving back in leading to a chance of some snow or snow showers by later Sunday. Some fine-tuning will have to be done to that part of the forecast…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TODAY: Variably cloudy. Rain and snow showers west to east early to mid afternoon, a few of which can contain lightning and thunder. Highs 36-43. Wind S up to 10 MPH early, shifting to W and increasing to 15-25 MPH with higher gusts, then shifting to NW late-day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TONIGHT: Partly cloudy with a chance of a passing snow shower, then clearing before dawn. Lows 11-18. Wind NW 15-25 MPH, gusts 30+ MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FRIDAY: Cloudy. Snow\/mix changing to rain. Highs 36-43. Wind E 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 6-10 (FEBRUARY 3-7)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Briefly milder February 3 with rain showers possible during the day. Fair, colder February 4. During the February 5-7 period we’ll have to start watching for ripples of low pressure moving along a boundary to our south with potentials for snow\/mix – highest potential toward the end of the period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (FEBRUARY 8-12)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pattern features a battle zone between cold weather to our north and a milder set-up to our south. This leaves our region vulnerable to unsettled weather from systems impossible to time or detail this far in advance. Overview: Unsettled potential, variable temperatures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
