Several days ago when it was apparent the cold pattern was coming back, I stated that the cold for this coming week was a certainty, and the snow threats were somewhat uncertain. It’s funny that it hasn’t changed all that much, with still some uncertainty on snow threats. It’s pretty certain that the first threat for the early hours of Monday will be insignificant with only some rain showers changing to snow showers mainly south of the Mass Pike with a coating of snow in some locations possibly causing brief slippery conditions. This is being caused by a cold front and a weak wave of low pressure riding along it. The front is introducing the first shot of cold air as the pattern returns to one we’ve seen a few times this winter. The second shot of snow comes Tuesday night and Wednesday morning, and there is some uncertainty on this still, but I’m leaning toward the low pressure area moving rather quickly and a little further out to sea than what would be needed for a significant snowfall, resulting in a light snowfall for parts of southeastern New England. This system will intensify as it moves well east of the region and help to pull down even colder air for the second half of the week, though fair weather is expected Thursday and Friday. Next weekend looks like it carries a storm threat and a push of still colder air, but it’s too far away for details.<\/p>\n
