The messy midweek storm is about done with only lingering drizzle & rain over southeastern and eastern MA as well as RI and spotty mixed precipitation to the north and west, all set to wind down and end overnight. If you have slush and\/or snow out there that has not been moved yet, it will be wise to have it moved tonight as it will freeze up overnight and even more-so tomorrow night as we see the a preview push of very cold air from an Arctic reservoir of air in Canada, otherwise known as the Polar Vortex. This will be dominating the weather pattern in the next week or so, with several shots of cold to very cold air. A milder interlude after Friday’s cold shot will take place Saturday into Sunday, but by later Sunday the first in a series of much colder shots of air will get here, just in time for the Patriots \/ Ravens NFL AFC Championship game at Foxboro!<\/p>\n
In terms of snow threats, low pressure will be developing off the Mid Atlantic Coast and intensifying as it passes south of Cape Cod Thursday night through early Friday.\u00a0 This looks like it will scrape Cape Cod with some accumulating snow but should largely be a miss for the majority of the region. Another storm offshore around next Tuesday looks like it will stay mainly out to sea at this time. Another threat looms later next week but is much too far away to really have any idea what may happen with that one.<\/p>\n
