Before we see the main effects from that, we have a chilly morning with patchy fog (ice fog in some locations with temperatures below freezing). There were already some icy areas from yesterday&#8217;s melt-water freezing only added to where there was freezing fog. If you venture out early, watch for icy untreated surfaces. This will improve quickly however as a southerly air flow ahead of the aforementioned low pressure area pushes milder air in. The cold front trailing this low will move across our region from west to east late today into this evening, producing scattered rain showers. The front moves through and introduces slightly colder air to the region overnight into Saturday as another low pressure area heads for the eastern Great Lakes. The cooler air that follows the cold front will hang out at low levels as the follow up low elongates and redevelops just south of our region Saturday night and early Sunday, producing mostly rain in our area, but with air just cold enough for a little sleet and or freezing rain over portions of interior southern NH and northeastern to north central MA Saturday night before the temperature warms sufficiently for just plain rain. This will taper off on Sunday as low pressure moves offshore and away from the region. Consolidation of the elongated low and intensification of it will pull colder and drier air into the region with more wind later Sunday into Monday. A few snow showers may occur later Sunday in response to the intensifying low pressure area heading through Atlantic Canada and some lingering instability over our area. Fair and seasonably chilly weather dominates our region early next week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TODAY: Fog patches and icy spots on untreated surfaces early this morning, otherwise sunshine and patchy clouds, followed by clouds increasing later. Late-day rain showers west of I-95 belt. Highs 42-49. Wind variable under 10 MPH early, then S increasing to 5-15 MPH, higher gusts late-day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TONIGHT: Lots of clouds with scattered rain showers followed by patchy fog during the evening hours. Clearing overnight with icy patches on untreated surfaces. Lows 30-37. Wind shifting to N and diminishing to under 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SATURDAY: Sunshine followed by increasing clouds. Rain arrives southwest to northeast by late-day. Highs 38-45. Wind N up to 10 MPH inland, E up to 10 MPH coast except SE 5-15 MPH Cape Cod. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SATURDAY NIGHT: Cloudy. Rain likely but may be mixed with sleet interior northern MA and southern NH evening. Patchy fog. Lows 31-38 evening, then rising slowly. 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 40-47 in the morning, falling into the 30s afternoon. 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>SUNDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 20-27. Wind W 15-25 MPH, gusts 30-45 MPH, strongest in higher elevations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MONDAY: Partly cloudy. Highs 33-40. Wind NW 10-20 MPH, higher gusts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MONDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 19-26. Wind W 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TUESDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 35-42. Wind W 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>DAYS 6-10 (JANUARY 14-18)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trough in the east trends the region colder. Indications are for a storm track mostly offshore but will keep an eye on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>DAYS 11-15 (JANUARY 19-23)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maybe a better shot at a more significant winter storm around mid or late period, but too early to be confident. Overall pattern does favor colder weather.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DAYS 1-5 (JANUARY 9-13) Low pressure moves from the Great Lakes into southeastern Canada today.
