DAYS 1-5 (JANUARY 7-11)
\nHigh pressure dominates today. The strong winds of last night are out of here and it will be a tranquil day with cold air, less wind, and sunshine, but that sun will start to fade later in the day as high cloudiness increases ahead of the next low pressure area, which will actually be 2 low pressure areas in rapid succession, the first bringing a light rain to snow event Tuesday, the second bringing a period of rain\/mix ending as mix\/snow showers Wednesday, at which time the wind will return, and blow significant into Thursday, delivering the coldest air mass since before astronomical winter began. In fact, it may be the coldest air since we saw way back on Thanksgiving, which was colder than Christmas. This cold air will be well established by Friday, and this time the wind may continue along with it as well.

DAYS 6-10 (JANUARY 12-16)
\nCold air will be dominant as high pressure is located over interior eastern Canada. At the same time low pressure will try to organize south of the region, and while model guidance is all over the map, the leaning is for a minor impact from a system that is never organized until its well out to sea, leaving this area with cloudiness arriving January 12 and a risk of some snow January 13. Drier but still cold weather after that.<\/p>\n
DAYS 11-15 (JANUARY 17-21)
\nThis overall pattern during this period is expected to be drier and colder than average but as many times noted with model guidance performing poorly beyond a few days this is a low confidence outlook at this time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
