DAYS 1-5 (FEBRUARY 4-8)…
\nAs we fine-tune the upcoming event we find a westward shift, enough to bring heavier snow into the I-95 belt. This is due to a 20 to 40 mile westward shift in the position of the front and track of the low pressure area developing along it – a rather small distance in the grand picture but in this case it has big impacts on the location of heavier snowfall. So this update takes that into account and adjusts for it. The remainder of the forecast below is largely unchanged at this time. Will update that on the next post…
\nTHROUGH EVENING: Mostly cloudy. Temperatures cooling into the 40s. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.
\nTONIGHT: Mainly cloudy. Rain\/mix developing south to north overnight, changing to snow by dawn except only mixing with snow on the immediate South Shore though Cape Cod and the South Coast. Lows in the 30s. Wind NW to N 5-15 MPH.
\nFRIDAY: Cloudy through early afternoon with snow except rain and snow mixed South Shore through Cape Cod, accumulations under 1 inch outer Cape Cod and Nantucket, 1-3 slushy inches remainder of Cape Cod, South Shore of MA and South Coast of MA including southern RI, 3-6 inches elsewhere except an area of 6-9 inches along the I-95 belt from northeastern MA to north central RI. Clearing during the afternoon. Temperatures steady in the 30s, lowest northwest of Boston, highest Cape Cod. Wind NE to N 10-20 MPH with higher gusts.
