DAYS 1-5 (FEBRUARY 17-21)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The storm system that brought the variety of precipitation over the weekend is still having an impact today in the form of icy ground and powerful winds. A high wind warning is up for much of the region, with a wind advisory for southeastern MA and RI \/ eastern CT. Gusts of 45-55 MPH can occur in the advisory area, 55-65 MPH in the warning area. These winds can cause tree damage and resultant power outages, as well as flying ice – crusts of ice that formed atop the snow cover that can lifted by the wind and flung through the air. Additionally, it’ll be wicked cold – with high temps in the 20s and the wind making it feel like the single digits and teens today. While the day is mostly dry, a few light snow showers will likely occur too, but these should be minor with no additional impact to travel. The windy and cold weather will continue through Tuesday too, but the wind will ease up in comparison to Monday – still though, a harsh winter day. The only difference at this point in the winter is the sun angle is noticeably higher and this can help take the sting out of the cold if you’re able to be in the sun. Wednesday’s weather continues cold and dry, with even less wind as the big storm that caused the wind loses its grip on us. However, this large circulation will have some impact on our next storm threat – the already much talked about Thursday storm threat. Low pressure develops down the coast and moves offshore. We’ll be watching the track of the storm to see if it comes close enough for a widespread significant snow event, or is far enough offshore for just a side-swipe. I’m continuing to lean toward the latter, with the low driven more east northeast out to sea rather than up the coastline. This means the greatest threat for accumulating snow will most likely be in southeastern MA – favoring Cape Cod. But there are still a few days to fine tune this forecast. Friday, expect fair and cold weather as high pressure builds in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
