DAYS 1-5 (JANUARY 10-14)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A brief warmer wedge of air came in last evening just ahead of a cold front to bring us our highest temperatures of the day, which also translate to today’s highest temperatures having already occurred at about midnight. Since then, a cold front quietly slipping through the area has turned things back around. This front is not introducing colder air in a blast and rapid temperature fall as several have done so far this season. This one is more of a colder air leak at low levels into the region, which combined with the rising sun holds the temperature fairly steady in the upper 30s to middle 40s today. An area of low pressure heading for the Great Lakes will increase our cloud cover as the day goes on, and as we reach evening, a modest temperature fall will occur as a light north to northeast air flow continues. When the low pressure area’s rain shield arrives, it can be in the form of sleet and maybe pockets of freezing rain in some areas generally north of Route 2 and west of I-95 for a while tonight. While this is not going to be a widespread occurrence, where it does take place there can be some slick spots on untreated surfaces, so keep that in mind if you are in an area that it can occur. The low pressure area will redevelop, without rapid strengthening, near or just south of Cape Cod tonight and early Sunday. After this it will head northeastward toward Atlantic Canada slowly intensifying. At first this keeps our rain chance going, especially in eastern areas, into Sunday morning. After this, drier air takes over from west to east and we see the day evolve into a windy, chilly one with a sun\/cloud mix eventually. By late day and evening, we have a partly cloudy sky, temperatures in the 30s, and just the chance of a passing snow shower or two. These conditions are also what to expect for the Patriots playoff game at 8:00 p.m. Sunday in Foxboro, with a slow temperature fall and a gusty wind. Monday and Tuesday will feature fair and chilly weather, with a gusty breeze Monday and less wind Tuesday as high pressure moves across the region. By Wednesday, this high will slide offshore and we get into a milder southwesterly air flow with more clouds being delivered by a trough approaching from the west. For now, I’m keeping the forecast for this day dry, though some guidance does show rain showers in the region as early as then. So the rain-free forecast on today’s update is fairly low confidence for now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TODAY: Sunshine followed by increasing clouds. Rain arrives southwest to northeast by late-day. Temperatures generally steady 38-45. Wind N to NE up to 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TONIGHT: Overcast. Periods of rain, but some pockets of sleet and freezing rain are possible in interior northern MA and southern NH. Fog patches forming. Lows 31-38 evening, then a slight overnight rise. Wind NE up to 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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

WEDNESDAY: Partly sunny. Highs 41-48. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 6-10 (JANUARY 15-19)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A large scale trough of low pressure moves to the East Coast, likely progressive enough so that main storm development will take place too far offshore to have a significant impact on our region, but we do look for a transition from milder to colder air and a chance of rain showers then snow showers early in the period as the colder air arrives, then a period of dry and cold weather following that. It’s essential to keep an eye on this time of transition in case storm development does take place closer to the coast, which would then increase the chance of a more significant impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (JANUARY 20-24)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Colder pattern, and perhaps a better shot of a more significant storm system during this period of time. I’ll be monitoring trends in here to see how things eventually present themselves as right now there is far too much uncertainty to add anything else to the outlook.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
