Governed by high pressure, it will be sunny (though you&#8217;ll notice some increase in high, thin clouds), and with a polar air mass in place, it will be cold. Things change quickly tonight and Thursday as low pressure moves our way from the west southwest, thickening up the clouds tonight and leading to a &#8220;daytime&#8221; storm on Thursday. Snow moves in during the morning to midday, accumulates up to a few to several inches, but advancing warm air aloft will flip that snow to sleet then briefly rain (south) and freezing rain (north) before it tapers and ends quickly by around dusk. Clearing follows at night, and high pressure builds in with nice mid winter weather on Friday. Before you know it, we&#8217;ll be dealing with the next storm system, this weekend. Clouds advance Saturday, and a similar precipitation set-up seems in the cards for Saturday night and Sunday morning. This system may carry a bit more moisture and have a bit more cold air to work with for a little longer, so while the general idea on precipitation is similar, the amounts of snow that can fall may be a little greater than the system that precedes it. Those details are still TBD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TODAY: Sun and high clouds. Highs 28-35. Wind N up to 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TONIGHT: Clouding up. Lows 17-24. Wind NE up to 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>THURSDAY: Overcast. Snow arrives by late morning, transitions to sleet \/ freezing rain north &amp; sleet \/ rain south before tapering off at day\u2019s end. Snow \/ sleet accumulation coating to 1 inch South Coast, 1 to 3 inches elsewhere, with a few 3+ inch amounts potentially north central MA and southwestern NH,  as well as I-90 belt to Boston and southern suburbs. Highs 30-37 north &amp; west \/ 38-45 south &amp; east by late day. Wind NE to E 5-15 MPH, higher gusts in some coastal locations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>THURSDAY NIGHT: Clearing. Watch for black ice formation on untreated surfaces that have been cleared of snow and sleet. Lows 23-30. Wind variable to NW 10-20 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>FRIDAY: Mostly sunny to partly cloudy. Highs 35-42. Wind NW 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>FRIDAY NIGHT: Clear. Lows 16-23. Wind NW diminishing to under 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SATURDAY: Sunshine followed by increasing clouds. Highs 27-34. Wind N up to 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SATURDAY NIGHT: Overcast. Snow arrives southwest to northeast with up to several inches of accumulation likely. Lows 20-27. Wind N to NE 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SUNDAY: Overcast morning with snow\/sleet\/ice\/rain tapering off southwest to northeast. Partial clearing afternoon. Highs 33-40. Wind variable to NW 10-20 MPH, higher gusts late-day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>DAYS 6-10 (FEBRUARY 10-14)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next window of opportunity for a storm system comes February 11-13 and looks like a colder event with snow, favoring southern areas, but still a long way to go to refine the details on that. Fair weather to start and end the period. Temperatures run slightly below normal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>DAYS 11-15 (FEBRUARY 15-19)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Temperatures variable but averaging near to below normal for the period.
