DAYS 1-5 (FEBRUARY 14-18)
\nHigh pressure moves offshore today and temperatures moderate. A warm front will bring a period of rain to the region late tonight into early Thursday and lead even warmer weather into the region for Thursday. The degree of warmth will be somewhat dependent on how much sun breaks out during the day. For now, leaning toward more dominant cloudiness and temperatures remaining under 60. The last time Boston hit 60 or greater was January 13 when it hit 61, which is also the record high temperature for Thursday set back in 1939. I think that record will stand. Cold front will come through early Friday preceded by a period of rain showers. A second cold front will come through Thursday evening, and may be accompanied by a rain or snow shower, but more notably will usher in a cold air mass for Saturday. This will set the stage for a chance of snow except snow or rain South Coast as a wave of low pressure passes just south of the region Saturday night and early Sunday. Although the details are still being worked out, this system has the potential to bring a light to moderate snowfall to at least a portion of the region during the middle of the weekend before conditions improve and temperatures moderate just behind the system.

DAYS 6-10 (FEBRUARY 19-23)
\nAfter the brief winter interlude of early to mid weekend the Presidents Day holiday on Monday will be milder but with a late-day rain risk. Tuesday-Thursday February 20-22 a frontal boundary will be nearby, dividing very mild air induced by a ridge of high pressure over the southeastern US from colder air banked across Canada. The position of the boundary will determine the details, so for now calling for the mild air to win at first, then the colder air, with episodes of unsettled weather. Drier\/colder by the end of the period if things trend the way they are expected to.<\/p>\n
DAYS 11-15 (FEBRUARY 24-28)
\nThe trend looks a little colder but there will still be somewhat of a battled between cold north and mild south. Additional unsettled weather including the possible threat of a winter weather event during the final days of the month.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
