60 degrees was reached in many areas Monday afternoon as the sun came out. This was 5 to 10 degrees warmer than I had anticipated for the region. Well, that’s gone. As discussed on the last entry, we are in the process of changing the pattern, but it is going to take all week. There are a couple change to the previous forecast coming up, otherwise the overall idea is largely unchanged.<\/p>\n
The frontal boundary sitting near the coast Tuesday-Wednesday will ripple just a bit further northward than I thought previously. The first wave of low pressure will stay mostly offshore through early Tuesday but will be close enough to throw a period of rain and some sleet across RI and southeastern MA. The second, however, will come closer and throw its precipitation shield over southeastern New England Wednesday. This will be good for some accumulating snow, especially away from the immediate coast. It will not be a big storm, but it may have some impacts on travel. Milder air near the ocean should keep this system as mix to rain with no accumulation in these locations.<\/p>\n
The cold front that I expected to come through without precipitation on Thursday may in fact carry some rain and snow showers with it. The cold shot for Thursday night and Friday is still on track. A slight temperature recovery over the weekend is still expected to be followed by the first in a series of Arctic blasts by the start of next week.<\/p>\n
