As of 3:30 a.m., there are ocean-effect snow showers ongoing along much of the MA coast, with some of them working a little further inland from Metro Boston to the Cape Cod Canal. During the heavier precipitation, some sleet worked into the South Coast region as was expected, and pockets of sleet mixing with the snow made it up into parts of Plymouth County. A coastal front was present from just west of Boston up into Essex County MA and near the NH Seacoast to the north, and down into southeastern MA inland from the South Shore to the south, but early this morning it is already pushing to the southeast and the colder air is returning to places that warmed up (relatively speaking) into the 20s (some lower 30s Cape Cod \/ Islands), while temperatures struggled out of the single digits into the teens during most of the day and evening over the large area to the west of this coastal front &#8211; a very cold winter storm for much of the region indeed, unlike what we see in most of our winter events. Today, we&#8217;ll still be dealing with the storm system as the primary low pressure area still has to pass by to our south and we&#8217;ll be in its circulation, along with the upper level low driving the entire system. Ocean-effect snow can go on for a good portion of the day, and will focus mostly on the South Shore where up to several additional inches of snow can accumulate. There is also some wrap-around moisture on the back side of our low pressure area that has to move through much of the region later today into this evening before moving out to the east, and this can also produce up to a couple additional inches of accumulation, so my general thought process on this is 1 to 3 total additional inches of accumulation through this evening in the majority of the region, with up to 1 inch additional nearer the South Coast. We finally bid this system goodbye tonight, and then settle into a cold and dry pattern through Friday, with just a few snow showers potentially occurring on Wednesday as a disturbance moves through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TODAY: Cloudy. Periods of snow. Additional accumulation up to 1 inch South Coast, 1 to 3 inches elsewhere. Highs 18-25. Wind N to NW 10-20 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TONIGHT: Mostly to partly cloudy. A lingering snow flurry possible. Lows 10-17. Wind NW 10-20 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TUESDAY: Partly cloudy. Highs 19-26. Wind NW 10-20 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TUESDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 0-7. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>WEDNESDAY: Partly sunny. Chance of snow showers. Highs 17-24. Wind W 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 4-11. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>THURSDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 16-23. Wind NW 10-20 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>THURSDAY NIGHT: Clear. Lows -3 to +4. Wind NW under 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>FRIDAY: Sunny. Highs 15-22. Wind NW under 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>DAYS 6-10 (JANUARY 31 \u2013 FEBRUARY 4)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Storm potential exists in the January 31 to February 2 time frame. Fair weather follows that threat. Temperatures below to much below normal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>DAYS 11-15 (FEBRUARY 5-9)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another potential winter weather threat around February 5-6.
