DAYS 1-5 (JANUARY 8-12)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An area of high pressure brings us fair weather with plenty of sunshine today. Lower dew points, a breeze, and high temperatures above freezing should allow any remaining ice on surfaces to melt and then dry off for the most part, so walking conditions will improve in areas that they are still not so great. A few remaining puddles can re-freeze tonight, however, so keep an eye out for that heading out early Friday. Friday’s weather will end up milder after a chilly start, and clouds will be on the increase as low pressure tracking through the Great Lakes and into southeastern Canada drags its cold front in our direction. This front will produce scattered rain showers late afternoon and early evening from west to east, then drier air follows it later at night into early Saturday. During the day Saturday, the next storm system heads for the Great Lakes while a little bubble of high pressure to our north supplies some lower level colder air. This type of set-up is fairly typical for winter in our area and has implications on the impact from the next low. This system will be a fairly elongated low pressure area stretching eastward from the Great Lakes, and the colder air that drains down from the north will hold pretty tight near the surface, as the low redevelops just to our south Saturday night and early Sunday. Precipitation arrives by Saturday evening from southwest to northeast, but the air can be cold enough for a mix of snow, sleet, and rain in areas generally north of Route 2 and west of I-95, so this will be something to watch for. At this point I think the surface temperature should be just warm enough to prevent any freezing rain, but will watch that in case it ends up lower than expected. It should be milder enough by Sunday morning to have the last of this system occurring as just rain, before it pulls eastward and drier air returns during the day Sunday. This will be accompanied by a slow temperature drop and wind increase, and possibly a few scattered snow showers later in the day as the colder air becomes more established. Monday’s weather will be dry, breezy, and seasonably chilly with a northwesterly air flow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 6-10 (JANUARY 13-17)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Active pattern sends a couple unsettled weather chances our way, and while at this point things don’t look to come together for a major storm, the details of timing and precipitation type(s) cannot be determined at this point. Most likely period for the unsettled weather is January 15-16.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (JANUARY 18-22)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Similar idea here, with a slightly better chance of a more formidable storm system, favoring late period.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
