DAYS 1-5 (JANUARY 22-26)…
\nHigh pressure hangs on one more day today which will feature plenty of sun but still cold air in place. This sets the stage for the side-swipe by a very large Winter storm passing south of the region this weekend. At this point the thinking on the track of this system has not really changed. What must be understood here is as a forecaster you’re trying to figure out subtle movements of essentially the northern edge of a system that’s tremendous in size, and that shifts of just mere miles will make a difference of up to inches in terms of snowfall. That said, the overall idea remains the same. The numbers will appear below in the forecast section, but I will preface it here by saying that my leaning is toward the lower end of the ranges in northern areas and the higher end of the ranges in southern areas. I can elaborate in the comment section below this discussion\/forecast. Still looking for improvement as the storm moves away Sunday, nice weather Monday, and a quick turn to mild weather and an approaching system that may bring a touch of mix then some rain showers Tuesday.
\nTODAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 28-35. Wind N 5-15 MPH.
\nTONIGHT: Increasing clouds. Lows in the 10s. Wind light N.
\nSATURDAY: Cloudy. Snow developing mainly southern areas afternoon, may mix with rain Cape Cod and Islands. Highs 28-35. Wind E increasing to 10-20 MPH except 20-30 MPH near the South Coast with higher gusts.
\nSATURDAY NIGHT: Cloudy. Chance of snow northern MA and southern NH. Snow likely southern MA and RI but may mix with rain Cape Cod and Islands. Most likely snow accumulation: 6-10 inches immediate South Coast of RI and MA including southern Cape Cod, 3-6 inches just north of there, 1-3 inches interior southern MA up to about the Mass Pike (1-2 inches Boston), and generally 1 inch or less northwest and north of Boston. Lows 25-33. Wind E 15-35 MPH, strongest along the coast with higher gusts.
\nSUNDAY: Gradually thinning and breaking overcast with snow ending northwest to southeast. Highs in the 30s. Wind NE to N 15-25 MPH with higher gusts.
\nMONDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows 15-25. Highs in the 30s.
\nTUESDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of very light mix morning and rain showers afternoon. Lows in the 20s. Highs in the 40s.<\/p>\n

DAYS 11-15 (FEBRUARY 1-5)…
\nMild and dry for a few days to start then a frontal passage with a minor precipitation event leads to fair and cooler weather by the end of the period.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
