DAYS 1-5 (FEBRUARY 4-8)
\nReady for a couple days that feel a bit like spring? It’s just a teaser, and while the winter’s had a couple frigid blasts, it’s been relatively easy to this point compared to many. Real New Englanders know to not get complacent when it’s been like this, because you never know what can happen right through March and even into April, so there is a long way to go yet. But in the short term, we know these very nice days are upon us as a west to southwest air flow will transport milder air into the region. A trough will pass by early Tuesday with a possible rain shower, but there will be limited moisture to work with and many areas will remain dry. A cold front that comes by Tuesday evening will bring a seasonable chill and a dose of reality back to the region by the middle of the week, and then a complex set system will bring unsettled weather to the area starting Wednesday evening and lasting well into Friday. The way it looks like it will go now is that a wave of low pressure will come along the boundary that had passed by late Tuesday, bringing some scattered sleet\/ice\/rain Wednesday night, with a brief break, followed by a warm front that will bring a period of rain and some potential icing over interior areas Thursday, a brief visit from the warm sector early Friday before a cold front comes along with a rain shower risk followed by a late-day return to colder air. The timing on this could change, so pay attention to updates through the week.
