DAYS 1-5 (FEBRUARY 20-24)…
\nBroad low pressure passing north of New England has put us into its warm sector after a period of warm frontal snow in much of southern New England late last night. Accumulations were modest, generally from nothing to a coating, which has since melted as the temperature climbed above freezing early this morning, and will continue to head for the lower 50s in many areas during the day as clouds eventually give way to sun. This storm’s so-called cold front will pass tonight and only knock temperatures down a tick or 2 for Sunday, still quite mild for the season, though like today, if you are outside you’ll have to deal with a gusty breeze, which will diminish later Sunday. A weak and fast-moving low pressure area will come racing along from the west southwest Sunday night and deliver a period of rain-to-snow to a good portion of southern New England, though favoring southern areas more than to the north. Any snow accumulation from this system will also be minor, and it will be gone by Monday. But it’s an active pattern right now, and yet another storm, this one larger, will threaten the region by Wednesday. The range of outcomes with that system is very wide at this stage, so no sharp detail will be attempted in this outlook at this point.
\nTODAY: Cloudy start with lingering sprinkles of rain then decreasing clouds and a sunnier afternoon. Highs upper 40s to lower 50s. Wind SW 10-20 MPH, higher gusts.
\nTONIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows in the 30s. Wind SW 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.
\nSUNDAY: Sunny start then increasing high cloudiness probably blotting out the sun by the end of the day. Highs middle to upper 40s. Wind W 5-15 MPH, higher gusts, diminishing late.
\nSUNDAY NIGHT: Cloudy. Rain arrives, then changes to snow with minor accumulation, ending by about dawn. Lows upper 20s to lower 30s. Wind variable 5-15 MPH becoming mostly NE to N.
\nMONDAY: Early clouds especially Cape Cod, otherwise mostly sunny. Highs around 40. Wind NW 10-20 MPH.
\nTUESDAY: Sunny start. Cloudy finish. Lows upper 10s to lower 20s. Highs in the 30s.
\nWEDNESDAY: Storm of snow\/mix\/rain likely. Temperatures mostly in 30s.<\/p>\n
DAYS 6-10 (FEBRUARY 25-29)…
\nThe final days of February will likely be active but with low confidence on any details we’ll summarize it as a storm with a chance of rain\/mix February 25, and another risk of unsettled weather in the February 27-29 period, and sort out the details as we get closer.<\/p>\n
DAYS 11-15 (MARCH 1-5)…
\nThe early days of March look colder than normal with a dry start and then a storm threat following.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
