DAYS 1-5 (JANUARY 16-20)
\nAnd now both systems are in the 5-day range, but for today’s update I’ll put some numbers to event number 1 and stay vague on event number 2 because we may not be through seeing guidance adjustment. If ever the 3-day-rule for guidance and 2-day rule for hard numbers applied, this will be the time. First, a slightly milder day today but becoming breezy as a cold front approaches. This front may bring a shower of mixed rain and snow, or snow, to a few locations this evening but it will be largely a dry passage, returning cold air to the region for Thursday. A minor low pressure system is still set to pass through on Friday with some snow\/mix north, mix\/rain south (see below for numbers). A break Saturday as cold air returns yet again and sets the stage for a larger winter storm that arrives in the pre-dawn hours of Sunday and lasts much of the day. What remains uncertain is precipitation type, snow\/ice\/rain areas, and how quickly it moves out. Will try to have a much more solid idea on this for tomorrow’s update.
\nTODAY: Partly cloudy. Highs 35-42. Wind W 5-15 MPH, higher gusts late in the day.
\nTONIGHT: Partly cloudy. A passing mix rain\/snow or snow shower possible early. Lows 15-22. Wind SW 10-20 MPH shifting to NW with higher gusts.
\nTHURSDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 22-29. Wind NW 10-20 MPH, diminishing during the day.
\nTHURSDAY NIGHT: Clouding over. Risk of mix south, snow north before dawn. Temperatures rise to upper 20s north, lower 30s south. Wind light variable.
\nFRIDAY: Mostly cloudy. Mix to rain South Coast, snow ending as mix\/rain elsewhere from west to east. Snow accumulation of less than 1 inch South Coast, coating to 2 inches elsewhere with 2 inch amounts most likely southern NH and central MA. Highs 33-40. Wind light variable becoming W 5-15 MPH later in the day.
\nSATURDAY: Partly sunny. Lows in the 10s. Highs from the upper 20s to lower 30s.
\nSUNDAY: Overcast with snow\/ice\/rain likely. Lows in the 20s. Highs from the upper 20s to lower 40s north to south.<\/p>\n
DAYS 6-10 (JANUARY 21-25)
\nDry, windy, very cold MLK Jr Day Monday January 21. Gradual temperature moderation through mid period with the next event more likely to be mix to rain but far out there so will keep an eye on it. Drier weather returns at the end of the period.<\/p>\n
DAYS 11-15 (JANUARY 26-30)
\nColder as a broad trough overtakes the weather with a couple clipper type systems bringing snow threats, based on current pattern trends. Still not highly confident about the pattern evolution yet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
