DAYS 1-5 (JANUARY 13-17)
\nArctic high pressure assures us that a storm passes well to the south of southeastern New England today but as it expands and turns more to the northeast after going by, the air flow between it and the high will enhance a northeasterly flow and create some ocean effect snow showers over Cape Cod later today and these may expand northward along the eastern MA coast and even westward somewhat along the South Coast into Monday morning. Minor localized snow accumulations may occur if bands set up over any region for a while. By later Monday this wind flow weakens and turns more northerly, putting an end to any snow showers and just keeping it chilly and dry, with this continuing Tuesday. By Wednesday we will have moderated with a more westerly air flow but this will be ahead of an arctic cold front which will reinforce the cold air again by Wednesday night and Thursday, maybe announcing it with a passing snow shower or snow squall.

DAYS 6-10 (JANUARY 18-22)
\nA low pressure system moves in from the west January 18 bringing a minor mix\/snow event and this front hangs around into the January 19 with additional low pressure moving up along it. Yesterday I expressed uncertainty on how this would behave and I’m still uncertain but today I will lean toward a quicker-moving system rippling the front back to the north and bringing a mix to rain event in January 19 ending as mix\/snow as colder air returns by early January 20, followed by windy, colder, drier weather later January 20 through January 21. Next system may bring a light snow threat by January 22 but looking that far out in this pattern is highly uncertain.<\/p>\n
DAYS 11-15 (JANUARY 23-27)
\nMay have another passing system with rain\/mix\/snow about mid period but highly uncertain. Overall trend is still cold.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
