This will be the first of 2 blog entries between today and later tonight to better update for the evolving storm situation for Sunday and early Monday.<\/p>\n
DAYS 1-5 (FEBRUARY 11-15)
\nThe latest “event” is about done here as a general 1 to 3 inch snowfall occurred overnight and early this morning. Only some spotty very light snow remains, almost like snow-drizzle, or “snizzle” as it has been often termed, over eastern MA and southeastern NH as this is really a warm front trying to press through. It will do that during the day and we will see some breaks in the clouds and sun, but the greatest amount of this will be to the southwest and south of Boston. But the break will be short-lived. The next system, a stronger low, will approach from the west on Sunday. We do know that this system will intensify rapidly once it reaches the ocean Sunday night and Monday, and the critical part of the forecast, in terms of where a rain\/snow line is and how much snow falls, is the track, orientation, and rate of deepening of this system. This will come down to almost an hour-by-hour thing as we go along, but this forecast will reflect that I currently feel a very sharp line will exist between not much snow and much more snow, somewhere in the I-95 belt. But again this is not a certainty and there is plenty of room for adjustment. Please keep that in mind. One thing we do know with a certainty is that powerful winds are going to occur especially Monday as the deepening storm starts to pull away via the Gulf of Maine to the waters south of Nova Scotia. Beyond this, look for a fair and cold Valentine’s Day Tuesday, and the next unsettled weather threat quickly arriving by Wednesday. This system will likely bring a threat of snow or snow showers and I am far from knowing its exact evolution. Revisiting this next update and again tomorrow.
\nTODAY: Clouds dominate. Partial sun develops Boston area south and southwest. Spotty very light snow north of Boston to southeastern NH through midday. Highs 28-35 north, 35-42 south. Wind light variable, mainly SE in northern areas and SW in southern areas.
\nTONIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Lows 20-30 north to south. Wind light variable becoming NE.
\nSUNDAY: Cloudy. Spotty very light snow or freezing drizzle near the MA\/NH East Coast in the morning. Snow develops west to east midday and afternoon except mix\/rain South Coast. Highs 30-40 north to south. Wind NE 10-20 MPH, higher gusts near the coast.
\nSUNDAY NIGHT: Overcast. Rain\/mix southeastern MA and southern RI, mix\/snow elsewhere – details to be worked out. Steady or slightly rising temperatures. Wind NE 15-30 MPH, higher gusts especially coast.
\nMONDAY: Mainly cloudy. Periods of snow favoring eastern areas with heaviest most likely northeastern MA and southeastern NH. Significant snow accumulation for this event possible many areas but especially just north and west of Boston extending westward and northward from there. Will add numbers to prediction on next update. Temperatures falling to 20s. Wind NE to N 25-35 MPH gusts above 40 MPH interior and above 50 MPH coast.
