DAYS 1-5 (FEBRUARY 1-5)
\nFebruary is here and the weather pattern will bring changing temperatures and a variety of weather during the first 5 days of the month, highlighted by a couple periods of snow and rain through early Friday, the snow favoring northern MA and southern NH this morning, the rain mainly during this evening, then a second period of snow as cold air flows in behind a cold front before the precipitation can end Friday. Arctic cold arrives later Friday and lasts through Saturday, but its stay will be brief as another front approaches and it warms up a bit ahead of it on Sunday. At the same time a strong disturbance will trigger a low pressure area to form and move up along the front as it barely gets offshore, but this system looks like it may track right along the coast or even into southern New England which will allow enough warming for a rain-dominated event for much of the region except mix\/snow possible interior higher elevations. This being 4 days in the future we are left with typical uncertainty and the situation will be monitored. Forecast details…
