This week will feature pretty average weather that you might expect for the first week of\u00a0 February – some cold, a couple storm threats. It’s a slightly different pattern than the one we’ve been in, a flatter flow overall but with enough jet stream energy and moisture to develop storm systems that make a run at the region, a supply of cold air from the north but not nearly to the level of the Arctic outbreaks we have seen in recent weeks.<\/p>\n
Day-by-day breakdown:<\/p>\n
Monday… Wave of low pressure passes south of New England, close enough to bring some light snow to far southern New England, mainly south of the Mass Pike, with some minor accumulation especially late morning through afternoon.<\/p>\n
Tuesday… Quiet weather, chilly air as high pressure dominates.<\/p>\n
Wednesday… Another storm, a bit of a mess because some sleet\/rain may become involved, especially south of Boston, with mostly snow north of the city. It looks like a moderate sized system, but will be moving right along. So its impact may be somewhat significant as far as traveling goes, but it will not be anything close to a crippling storm. The precipitation situation will be determined by the exact track, which will in turn determine how much warming takes place aloft to bring sleet\/rain into the picture. This still needs to be fine-tuned and this will take place as we move through the next 2 days.<\/p>\n
Thursday-Friday… Quiet but cold weather as high pressure returns to the region and a fresh shot of polar air comes out of Canada along with it.<\/p>\n
Weekend… The next storm threat, but the earliest indications are that this system may be pushed far enough south to avoid a major impact. Long way to go on this one.<\/p>\n
