The first day of the year will start with some additional snowflakes in the area, the first batch having moved in last night and dropped a coating to a couple inches (least to the north, most to the south). Other than Cape Cod, that&#8217;s mostly off to the east now at dawn, but a band of snow showers, some moderate to heavy, is moving eastward through the region, and while it&#8217;s fairly narrow, it can reduce visibility significantly for anybody traveling early to mid morning from west to east across the region. This will be followed by a slow clearing trend and falling temperatures from west to east today. Cold and dry weather with a west to northwest air flow will then dominate our weather Friday into the weekend. On Sunday, low pressure will pass well south of our region, and a smaller disturbance moving along to its north can bring our region a few snow flurries. Another northern stream disturbance will approach our area later Monday with clouds moving in and the potential for some light snow later on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TODAY (NEW YEAR\u2019S DAY): Cloudy start with light snow exiting southeastern MA early, and a band of snow showers, some moderate to heavy, moving west to east across the region early to mid morning with additional accumulation of up to but mostly under 1\/2 inch.
