Showery precipitation falls as rain, but surfaces temperatures near to slightly below freezing over inland areas mean that additional icing can take place. The relocated low to the east can actually pull slightly colder air in during the morning, so a warm-up to eliminate the ice would be somewhat delayed, but eventually would happen as we started to trend drier as the low would be moving further away from here. The final round of precipitation may include some wet snow and sleet mixed in with rain in the region. Following this, high pressure builds in tonight and Thursday with dry and seasonable weather. After that, low pressure tracks north of our region on Friday and Friday night, pushing milder air in on a southerly wind, leading to rain showers later Friday with the low&#8217;s cold front. This will move through the region and settle just to the south and east of the area on Saturday as a larger and slightly stronger low heads for the eastern Great Lakes. This will lead to a more substantial rain event Saturday afternoon until Sunday morning, and as the low pressure area makes its way through southeastern Canada, we&#8217;ll see the return of slightly colder, drier air, with increasing wind on its back side. As colder air arrives I cannot rule out a few snow showers later Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TODAY: Cloudy morning with occasional rain, which can still be freezing rain early in the day mainly west of I-95 and especially north of I-90. Clouds break for sun at times afternoon with a passing rain\/mix\/snow shower possible. Highs 37-44. Wind variable up to 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TONIGHT: Clearing. Watch for icy spots on untreated surfaces. Lows 20-27. Wind W 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>THURSDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 35-43. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>THURSDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 23-30. Wind variable to S up to 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>FRIDAY: Increasing clouds. Late-day rain showers. Highs 43-50. Wind S to SW 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>FRIDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Evening rain showers. Patchy fog overnight. Lows 33-40. Wind shifting to N and diminishing to under 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SATURDAY: Cloudy. Afternoon rain likely. Highs 36-43 except 40-47 Cape Cod and South Coast. Wind N shifting to E up to 10 MPH except SE 5-15 MPH Cape Cod \/ South Coast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SATURDAY NIGHT: Cloudy. Rain likely. Patchy fog. Temperatures steady or rising slightly. Wind E up to 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SUNDAY: Cloudy early with a chance of rain until mid morning. Clouds break late morning leading to a sun\/cloud mix afternoon and a chance of a late-day mix\/snow shower. Highs 45-52 in the morning, with a temperature fall back to the 30s by late-day. Wind variable 5-15 MPH shifting to W increasing to 15-25 MPH with higher gusts during the afternoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>DAYS 6-10 (JANUARY 12-16)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A couple snow showers possible otherwise mainly dry and seasonably chilly early next week, with unsettled weather potential mid to late week, depending on the set-up regarding an East Coast trough. Monitoring this for more detail over the coming days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>DAYS 11-15 (JANUARY 17-21)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trend is to have a battle zone between cold to north and milder to south nearby with additional unsettled weather chances. Colder should begin to win out toward the end of the period, potentially increasing snow chances.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DAYS 1-5 (JANUARY 7-11) Low pressure to our west redevelops just to our east early today then heads away from the region.
