DAYS 1-5 (FEBRUARY 8-12)
\nThe low level cold air moved back into the immediate suburbs of Boston during the night with any wet areas frozen over. This also extends further north, west, and even southwest of Boston into the early morning hours so watch for icy ground and ice-covered vehicles. Allow extra time. As a cold front moves through the region this morning a band of rain will accompany it, and this rain may still freeze on surfaces that remain cold in areas northwest of Boston. There is a secondary trough behind this front that the cold air sits behind, so initially it will actually warm up after the cold front passes, something that is not all that uncommon here. The cold air will move in starting late today and especially tonight as the next storm system approaches. This system will pass just south of New England Thursday, while intensifying, and bring significant snow to the region. It may start as mix\/rain south of Boston and especially toward the South Coast, but cold air will overtake this area too and result in mainly snow, though wetter in consistency than the drier snow that will fall deeper in the colder air to the north and northwest. Behind this a shot of very cold air follows for Friday. A weak low pressure system may bring some snow early Saturday but the majority of the weekend looks precipitation-free, until Sunday night when the next system may arrive with some light rain\/mix\/snow. The timing and precipitation type are uncertain at this time.
\nTODAY: Mostly cloudy with rain showers ending west to east morning. Partly sunny afternoon. Highs 52-60 by midday then turning colder late day. Wind SW 15-25 MPH with higher gusts, shifting to NW during the afternoon.
\nTONIGHT: Clouding over. Snow developing southwest to northeast toward dawn except likely starting as mix\/rain south of Boston especially South Coast and may be mixed with rain near the South Coast. Temperatures fall through the 30s. Wind NW to N 5-15 MPH.
\nTHURSDAY: Overcast. Snow, heavy at times, with the greatest risk for heaviest snow in the region from northeastern CT and northern RI through southeastern and east central MA. Expected snow accumulation 6-12 inches for most areas but may be under 6 inches in portions of southern NH as well as near the South Coast. Blowing and drifting snow especially north and west of Boston. Temperatures fall into the 20s. Wind N 10-20 MPH with higher gusts from the I-95 belt westward, NE 15-25 MPH with higher gusts elsewhere.
\nFRIDAY: Partly cloudy. Lows 8-15. Highs 20-28.
\nSATURDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of snow especially AM. Lows 10-18. Highs 28-35.
\nSUNDAY: Variably cloudy. Chance of snow\/mix\/rain especially late. Lows 25-32. Highs 35-42.<\/p>\n
DAYS 6-10 (FEBRUARY 13-17)
\nLow confidence forecast here. Most likely unsettled with mix\/rain February 13, fair\/colder February 14, storm threat February 15-16 with snow\/mix potential, and possibly very cold by the end of the period.<\/p>\n
DAYS 11-15 (FEBRUARY 18-22)
\nLow confidence forecast here as well. Leaning toward dry weather and temperature moderation early to mid period and a storm threat toward the end.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
