DAYS 1-5 (FEBRUARY 2-6)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’s Groundhog Day … again … and before I start reciting more lines from the movie I’ll just tell you, in case you missed it, that Phil saw his shadow this morning down there in Punxsutawney PA, which means, according to legend, that there are six more weeks of winter to endure. Correct or not, I can look ahead and see a pretty active wintertime pattern ahead for us, but that means a lot of changes, some up and down temperatures, and an increase in unsettled weather after a fairly benign though often cold January. If you are venturing outside this morning, you’ll see your shadow in 99% of the region, as there are some ocean-effect clouds across Cape Cod and at times flirting with the MA South Shore. Even a few snowflakes can fall from these clouds early on today, but they will drift offshore and dissipate soon as high pressure builds over the region. Another thing you’ll have to watch out for if going outside this morning, in fact much of today, is icy non-treated surfaces. Your shadow will also start to fade as the day goes on, in response to increasing high cloudiness from west to east across the region. This comes in advance of a low pressure area that will pass to our north Monday. Its warm front will send a slug of snow through the region tonight, steadiest from the I-90 belt northward. To the south the precipitation pattern will be more patchy and even some rain can end up mixed in along the South Coast as warmer air moves into the region. We’ll be in this warm sector with a southerly air flow and lots of clouds Monday, before a cold front brings a potential rain shower and a definite wind shift Monday evening. During Tuesday, a gusty northwesterly breeze will usher in colder air but with fair weather, as the low exits via Atlantic Canada. High pressure sits over the region Wednesday with dry, cold weather, before low pressure moves our way from the southwest for Thursday bringing a variety of precipitation. The finer details of that system will be figured out over the next few days. Early leaning: Snow to ice to rain for the region in general, but a colder scenario cannot be ruled out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TODAY: Sunny start \/ cloudy finish. Highs 27-34. Wind N 5-15 MPH Cape Cod early, otherwise variable up to 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TONIGHT: Cloudy. A period of snow, steadiest I-90 belt northward with 1\/2 to 2 inches and spot 3 inches possible, less steady to the south with under 1\/2 inch and also may mix with rain South Coast before ending pre-dawn. Lows 20-27 early, then rising to 28-35. Wind SE up to 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
MONDAY: Variably cloudy. A late-day rain shower possible. Highs 38-45. Wind S to SW 10-20 MPH, a few higher gusts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 6-10 (FEBRUARY 7-11)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Potential to likely unsettled events late February 8 into February 9, again late in the period, as the pattern will be active. Frozen precipitation chances are high with these.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another mid period precipitation event potential as the active pattern continues.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
