DAYS 1-5 (JANUARY 8-12)
\nNo big changes in the overall idea about the weather in the coming few days. First we have the double-barrel but relatively minor system coming through today with its snow of minor accumulation ending as rain showers, and tomorrow’s slightly more potent developing system, passing just north of southern New England, bringing a period of rain and then snow showers and wind on its back side as colder air returns. What you will very much notice, previewed yesterday morning, is some very cold air moving in during Thursday on a gusty wind, and hanging around into the coming weekend, with mainly dry weather. Although Saturday we’ll have to watch the wind as it may turn onshore and bring a fair amount of cloudiness and even the potential for a few snow showers, while at the same time some higher cloudiness comes across from a mid level disturbance passing by.
\nForecast details…

DAYS 6-10 (JANUARY 13-17)
\nA storm system is expected to pass south of the region Sunday January 13, far enough to keep its snow shield away but close enough to possibly bring additional ocean effect snow showers to Cape Cod and possibly the South Shore with a higher chance of dry weather elsewhere, and quite cold. The early to mid portion of next week should be generally dry with temperatures near to below normal as we see a slight recovery from the coldest air but no big push of mild air as we’ll be between the subtropical jet to the south and polar jet just to the north.<\/p>\n
DAYS 11-15 (JANUARY 18-22)
\nThe trend for this period is now for the overall pattern to be fairly dry and on the seasonable to slightly colder than average side from the pattern described just above. But again with recent poor performance of guidance and less than totally dependable teleconnections in trying to predict medium range, I say this with low to moderate confidence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
