DAYS 1-5 (JANUARY 11-15)
\n2-day warm-up underway, today with lots of clouds but no rain, Friday overcast and turning quite wet but also the warmer of the 2 days. With snow-melt, this brings a road and small stream flood threat, so be aware of that. Cold air comes back in rather quickly from west to east during Saturday, and with additional low pressure having to pass through and lingering moisture behind it, this means rain to ice, and eventually some snow, though not a big deal with the snow. The degree of icing depends on location. There will be more north and west as it is colder there sooner with more rain in the region. Later in the day only light and more spotty precipitation is expected but by then it should be cold enough to start any rain to the south and east freezing on surfaces and for any standing water to start freezing over as well, especially by night, when we will see lingering precipitation in the form of snow as the cold air has moved in sufficiently at all levels for this. By then it will be very light so no real accumulation of snow is expected. A weak high pressure area should partially clear it out for Sunday although it will be a cold day. Clouds may re-take the sky by MLK Jr Day on Monday due to a northeast air flow and cannot rule out some light snow that day.
\nTODAY: Mostly cloudy. Highs 43-49. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

\nSATURDAY: Cloudy. Areas of fog. Periodic to frequent rain transitioning to freezing rain from northwest to southeast as precipitation tapers off and then by evening areas of light freezing rain\/drizzle south and east except just rain Cape Cod, and areas of light sleet\/snow north and west with little accumulation. Temperatures fall through the day reaching 30-35 south and east and 25-30 north and west by evening. Wind shifting to NW and N 5-15 MPH with higher gusts.

DAYS 6-10 (JANUARY 16-20)
\nWatch for a storm system bringing mix\/snow to the region in the January 16-17 period as a clipper system redeveloping nearby – details to work out. Dry and cold after this.<\/p>\n
DAYS 11-15 (JANUARY 21-25)
\nLess cold. A dry start and end to the period with some mid-period unsettled weather.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
