A secondary frontal boundary passing by tonight can be responsible for a passing snow shower, even a brief snow squall potentially. This sets up a dry, windy, and cold day Friday. During the weekend (3 days as it includes MLK Jr. Day on Monday) we will be impacted by 3 separate weather systems. Saturday, low pressure passing by to our northwest brings a warm front \/ cold front combination. While there may be some early-day sun especially in eastern areas, look for a couple periods of rain and snow &#8211; rain favoring the coastal plain and snow favoring areas further inland where there can be some minor accumulation. I&#8217;ll detail this further on the next blog post tomorrow morning. The second system will bring a swath of snow to Cape Cod and the Islands and perhaps back through the I-95 belt for a few hours on Sunday evening as a fast-moving storm system passes well offshore, heading north northeastward. The third system will be a trough and cold front that can bring a snow shower later Monday, which will be a windy and chilly day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TODAY: Cloudy morning with spotty light rain except light mix \/ snow in southwestern NH &amp; central MA. Sun and passing clouds this afternoon. Temperatures start out 37-44 west of I-95 and 40-47 I-95 eastward, falling into the 30s during the day. Wind S shifting to W 5-15 MPH, increasing to 10-20 MPH with higher gusts by late in the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TONIGHT: Partly cloudy. An evening snow shower or snow squall possible. Lows 15-22. Wind W 10-20 MPH with higher gusts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>FRIDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 27-34. Wind W 10-20 MPH, gusts around 30 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>FRIDAY NIGHT: Increasing clouds. Lows 20-27 evening followed by a slow rise overnight. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SATURDAY: Mostly cloudy. Periodic light rain eventually mixing with and changing to snow coastal plain, mix to snow inland with accumulation of up to 1 inch (2 inches higher elevations central MA and southwestern NH) by late-day. Highs 32-39 inland and 38-45 coast occurring before midday followed by a gradual temperature fall. Wind S 5-15 MPH shifting to N from west to east.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SATURDAY NIGHT: Decreasing clouds. Lows 23-30. Wind N 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SUNDAY: Increasing clouds. Highs 33-40. Wind N 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SUNDAY NIGHT: Cloudy. A period of snow mainly I-95 belt eastward with best chance of up to a few inches accumulation over Cape Cod. Lows 22-30. Wind N to NE 5-15 MPH, higher gusts along the coast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MONDAY: Sun \/ cloud mix. Chance of late-day or evening snow showers. Highs 25-32.
