DAYS 1-5 (JANUARY 29-FEBRUARY 2)
\nLight onshore flow produces some light ocean effect snow showers in eastern MA and southeastern NH through midday today with no significant impact. Low pressure tracking north of the region tonight into Wednesday will drag a front across the region, and its precipitation will arrive as mainly snow then change to mainly rain (except far north and west where it stays snow or briefly mixes) then may end as snow on the back side briefly Wednesday morning as a wave of low pressure forms on the front and cuts across the region from southwest to northeast. An arctic cold front charges across the region west to east during Wednesday afternoon and early evening, producing snow showers and squalls that may briefly bring visibility to very low levels and may coat the ground quickly with snow, creating hazardous travel. Once these are by, the door is open to bitterly cold air which will be here but for a brief visit late Wednesday night through early Friday, rivaling the magnitude of the cold of January 21, but probably falling just shy, but with wind, you won’t notice much of a difference anyway. Even though Friday’s still cold, it will be one of those days when the 20s feel like the 40s in comparison to the day before. Expect dry weather and further temperature moderation for Groundhog Day with high pressure in control.
