DAYS 1-5 (FEBRUARY 5-9)
\nTwo quick corrections. One, I under-forecast yesterday’s temperatures. No surprise. I also was too fast in my timing of the few showers coming through early today. They are traversing the region now and will be brief and generally through by mid morning for areas that see them. The mild air remains in control today with many areas getting to or over 60. Exceptions will be areas you’d expect to be cooler on a typical spring day, as this is similar to that (South Coast, Cape Cod). Back to reality tonight as a cold front comes through dry but delivers seasonable cold back to the region for mid to late week. This is where our unsettled period begins with a wave of low pressure coming along the front with some rain\/ice\/sleet Wednesday night, transitioning to mainly rain before tapering off Thursday. We will have to watch for the cold air to be a little stubborn to move for a while and temperatures possibly colder than what I will have in my ranges below. Adjustments will be made if necessary. The front will push to the north Thursday evening bringing another episode of rain then putting our area briefly into the warm sector as low pressure passes northwest of the region Friday. As its cold front comes through, rain showers are likely later Friday. Cold air comes in quickly behind that but moisture should be gone soon enough to prevent snow showers. We will watch for a secondary trough that sometimes isn’t shown by short range guidance that could bring a snow shower later Friday night. Either way, look for a windy, cold, and dry Saturday.

\nSeasonably cold air dominates this period with a dry start and end (February 10 and 14). What happens in the middle is unsettled weather but the details of which cannot be determined for a few days. A couple low pressure systems may threaten with rain\/ice\/snow.<\/p>\n
