DAYS 1-5 (FEBRUARY 6-10)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A series of winter storms looms, and two of them will impact our region during this 5-day period. The first one is a daytime storm system impacting our region today as low pressure travels this way from the west southwest. As the low approaches, it’ll deliver a fairly short-lived but strong area of precipitation, which starts as snow from mid to late morning – southwest to northeast – then flips to sleet and eventually a brief period of rain and drizzle, which will be falling into sub-freezing air over some inland locations, creating a light glaze or newly fallen snow or any cleared \/ untreated surfaces. But the bulk of this event will be in the form of snow, with a minor to “low end” moderate accumulation common. Tonight, the system exits and we clear out, with a fair but windy day for Friday. The high temps Friday climb above freezing with some melting being able to take place. Meltwater will re-freeze Friday night, and while the weather remains fair through the daylight hours of Saturday, watch for icy spots from that re-frozen meltwater. While this is going on, high pressure that moves toward the region Friday, squeezing the air between it self and departing low pressure for the wind, will then move overhead at night with winds dropping off, then will push off to the northeast Saturday as the next storm system heads in this direction. We’ll see the clouds increase ahead of it during the day, and then its precipitation shield will impact the region Saturday night and Sunday morning. The track of this system looks a touch further south than the one that precedes it, and it will have more available moisture and last a little longer, so I’m looking for a widespread moderate snowfall. There may be some mix \/ change to sleet \/ ice \/ rain in southern portions of the region – especially near the South Coast, depending on how far north the low’s track is. This system departs later Sunday, replaced by fair weather and wind. The wind subsides and the fair weather dominates on Monday as an area of high pressure moves in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TODAY: Overcast. Snow arrives by late morning, transitions to sleet \/ freezing rain north & 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 & west \/ 38-45 south & east by late day. Wind NE to E 5-15 MPH, higher gusts in some coastal locations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TONIGHT: 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
FRIDAY: Mostly sunny to partly cloudy. Highs 35-42. Wind NW 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
FRIDAY NIGHT: Clear. Lows 16-23. Wind NW diminishing to under 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SATURDAY: Sunshine followed by increasing clouds. Highs 27-34. Wind N up to 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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
SUNDAY: Overcast through midday with snow, possibly mixed with sleet\/ice\/rain in some areas before ending. (Total accumulation details on next update, but 4+ inches of snow is quite possible in much of the region.) Partial clearing late-day. Highs 33-40. Wind variable to NW 10-20 MPH, higher gusts late-day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SUNDAY NIGHT: Clearing. Lows 22-30. Wind NW 10-20 MPH, gusty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
MONDAY: Sunny to partly cloudy. Highs 33-40. Wind NW 10-20 MPH, gusty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 6-10 (FEBRUARY 11-15)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Next window of opportunity unsettled weather early to mid period – early call being 1 or 2 waves of low pressure moving south of the region with odds favoring snow over mix\/rain. Fair weather returns later in the period. Temperatures near to below normal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (FEBRUARY 16-20)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Temperatures variable but averaging near to below normal for the period. Active pattern with two potential impacts from low pressure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
