2:46AM

DAYS 1-5 (JANUARY 31-FEBRUARY 4)…
A mild southwesterly air flow will dominate today into Monday as January turns to February. A cold front may set off a few rain showers later Monday and will knock the temperature down only slightly for Tuesday, which will be a fair weather day as a sliver of high pressure slides across the Northeast. Warmer air will move in during Wednesday but may take a while to reach the entire area as we’ll need to get that front back through as a warm front. Finally a warm surge will flood the entire region but will be accompanied by wet weather as numerous rain showers line up along and ahead of a cold front. This front will pass through the region from west to east late Wednesday, bringing drier and cooler weather back by Thursday.
TODAY: Partly sunny. Highs 47-54. Wind SW 5-15 MPH with higher gusts.
TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Lows 33-40. Wind SW 5-15 MPH with higher gusts.
MONDAY: Variably cloudy. Chance of rain showers in the afternoon. Highs 48-55.
TUESDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 30s. Highs in the 40s.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly cloudy. Rain showers likely. Lows in the 40s. Highs in the 50s.
THURSDAY: Partly cloudy. Lows in the 30s. Highs in the 40s.

DAYS 6-10 (FEBRUARY 5-9)…
An offshore low pressure area should stay far enough out to sea to leave the region dry February 5. Unsettled weather develops over the weekend of February 6-7, but is more likely during February 7. Rain or snow is possible. February 8 turns dry but likely windy as a bigger storm evolves over the ocean. Fair weather and somewhat colder by February 9.

DAYS 11-15 (FEBRUARY 10-14)…
The next storm threat looms for early in the period but there may be a lack of cold to work with and odds may favor mix/rain versus snow. Another stretch of unsettled weather is possible later February 12 through the end of the period.

9:12AM

DAYS 1-5 (JANUARY 30-FEBRUARY 3)…
Warm front moves through today producing some cloudiness, then in and out of clouds as mild air becomes established on Sunday. Not a bad weekend at all by January standards. Some changes for the first few days of February with a mild Monday, a cold front producing a few rain showers Monday evening but only slightly cooler air for Tuesday before a bigger warm-up for Wednesday, though accompanied by a wet weather as a stronger cold front approaches.
TODAY: Mostly sunny morning. Mostly cloudy afternoon. Highs 37-44. Wind S 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Lows 30-37. Wind SW 5-15 MPH with higher gusts.
SUNDAY: Partly sunny. Highs 47-54. Wind SW 5-15 MPH with higher gusts.
MONDAY: Partly cloudy. Chance of rain showers evening. Lows in the 30s. Highs in the 50s.
TUESDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 30s. Highs in the 40s.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly cloudy. Rain showers likely. Lows in the 40s. Highs in the 50s.

DAYS 6-10 (FEBRUARY 4-8)…
Fair weather expected February 4-5. Unsettled with chance of snow/mix February 6-7. Fair February 8. Temperatures near to above normal overall.

DAYS 11-15 (FEBRUARY 9-13)…
A passing system may bring precipitation about February 10. Storm threat again at the end of the period. Temperatures fairly close to normal though variable.

2:51AM

DAYS 1-5 (JANUARY 29-FEBRUARY 2)…
Unsettled weather today but only minor event with rain and snow showers as an offshore low pressure area deepens and accelerates away to the northeast, toward Nova Scotia, while a weakening system coming out of the Great Lakes transfers its energy to the offshore system. The very progressive pattern then brings briefly cooler northwesterly wind in by Friday night, followed by a warm front bringing more cloudiness on Saturday, but leading to a spell of very mild weather as January ends and February arrives Sunday and Monday. A cold front will approach by late Monday but will set off only a few rain showers Monday night or early Tuesday with only a slight cool-down for Tuesday.
TODAY: Mostly cloudy. Scattered rain and snow showers. Highs 35-42. Wind light variable becoming NW and increasing to 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Partly cloudy evening. Clearing overnight. Lows in the 20s. Wind NW 10-20 MPH and gusty.
SATURDAY: Increasing clouds. Highs 35-42. Wind W 5-15 MPH shifting to SW.
SATURDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy evening. Partly cloudy overnight. Lows 28-35 early then rising overnight. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.
SUNDAY: Partly sunny. Highs 48-55. Wind SW 10-20 MPH.
MONDAY: Partly cloudy. Risk of evening rain showers. Lows in the 30s. Highs in the 50s.
TUESDAY: Partly cloudy. Lows in the 30s. Highs in the 40s.

DAYS 6-10 (FEBRUARY 3-7)…
Potential record-challenging warmth with rain showers February 3. Colder with rain or snow showers possible February 4. Fair and cool February 5. A weak system may bring rain/snow showers by February 6 or 7.

DAYS 11-15 (FEBRUARY 8-12)…
Trending colder. Risk of rain/snow showers early in the period then mostly dry weather.

7:34AM

DAYS 1-5 (JANUARY 28-FEBRUARY 1)…
High pressure brings fair weather today. A pair of low pressure systems will pass by on their northeastward stroll across the atmospheric dance floor on Friday, one to our northwest, one to our southeast, attempting to join hands in the start of a ballroom tango, but before they can launch into their first spin together they will be beyond the area, leaving us with minimal impact, i.e., a little rain and snow activity. Fair weather returns for the weekend as well as Monday along with a warm-up as the jet stream lifts to the north and high pressure builds to the south.
TODAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 35-42. Wind light SW.
TONIGHT: Clouding up. Lows 25-32. Wind light S.
FRIDAY: Mostly cloudy. A period of rain Cape Cod. A few rain/snow showers elsewhere. Highs 35-42. Wind variable 5-15 MPH shifting to NW and increasing to 10-20 MPH late.
SATURDAY: Partly cloudy. Lows 15-25. Highs in the 30s.
SUNDAY: Mostly cloudy. Lows in the 20s. Highs in the 40s.
MONDAY: Partly sunny. Lows in the 30s. Highs in the 50s.

DAYS 6-10 (FEBRUARY 2-6)…
A weak cold front passes early February 2 with a few rain showers then fair weather. A warm front/cold front combo passes through February 3 as a stronger storm passes through the Great Lakes into southeastern Canada and will likely bring widespread rain showers as it is quite mild. Mostly fair weather and a colder trend sets up February 4-6, though a few snow showers may occur at times.

DAYS 11-15 (FEBRUARY 7-11)…
Briefly moderating then possibly turning much colder later in the period with a few snow showers.

7:34AM

DAYS 1-5 (JANUARY 27-31)…
Cloudiness gradually exits today as a front slogs eastward offshore. Two low pressure systems, one in the polar jet stream passing through the Great Lakes and another with the subtropical jet stream passing south of New England Thursday night, will remain separate until beyond the region Friday. This will prevent a significant storm and just result in the risk of a bit of snow and rain shower activity. A weak area of high pressure will bring fair weather Saturday and a weak low pressure area will be in the region Sunday with more cloudiness.
TODAY: Lots of clouds to start, then increasing sunshine. Highs 36-43. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 18-25. Wind light W.
THURSDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 35-42. Wind light SW.
FRIDAY: Mostly to partly cloudy and windy. Risk of snow showers early and snow or rain showers midday. Lows in the 20s. Highs in the 30s.
SATURDAY: Partly cloudy. Lows 15-25. Highs in the 30s.
SUNDAY: Mostly cloudy. Lows in the 20s. Highs in the 40s.

DAYS 6-10 (FEBRUARY 1-5)…
Disturbance coming through the region February 1 will produce a few rain showers with mild air. Continued above normal temperatures February 2-3 with fair weather February 2 and a few rain showers February 3. Fair and colder February 4-5.

DAYS 11-15 (FEBRUARY 6-10)…
Fair with moderating temperatures early in the period. A northern stream storm system will bring unsettled weather mid to late period followed by a possible blast of colder air.

7:22AM

DAYS 1-5 (JANUARY 26-30)…
Weak low pressure will pass well north of southern New England today and tonight. Its trailing cold front will pass this evening then slow down offshore Wednesday. This system will bring some cloudiness today into Wednesday but no more than a passing rain shower this evening. A pair of systems, one in the polar jet stream passing through the Great Lakes and another with the subtropical jet stream passing south of New England Thursday night, are expected to stay separated and not really interact until beyond the region Friday. This will prevent a significant storm and just result in the risk of a bit of snow shower activity. A weak area of high pressure will bring fair weather Saturday.
TUESDAY: Variably cloudy. A late-day rain shower possible mainly northwest of Boston. Highs 43-50. Wind SW 10-20 MPH with higher gusts.
TONIGHT: Variably cloudy. An evening rain shower possible. Lows 33-40. Wind SW to W 5-15 MPH and gusty.
WEDNESDAY: Lots of clouds to start, then increasing sunshine. Highs 36-43. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
THURSDAY: Sunshine during the day. Clouds moving in with a risk of snow showers overnight. Lows 18-25. Highs in the 30s.
FRIDAY: Mostly to partly cloudy and windy. Risk of snow showers early. Lows in the 20s. Highs in the 30s.
SATURDAY: Partly cloudy. Lows 15-25. Highs in the 30s.

DAYS 6-10 (JANUARY 31-FEBRUARY 4)…
A few periods of unsettled weather, more cloudiness than significant precipitation events, January 31 through February 3, though with variable temperatures will have to watch for possible mix/frozen precipitation at some point. Should turn dry and colder at the end of the period.

DAYS 11-15 (FEBRUARY 5-9)…
An overall fairly quiet pattern with variable temperatures.

7:28AM

DAYS 1-5 (JANUARY 25-29)…
High pressure brings fair weather today. Weak low passes to north late Tuesday and its cold front will slow down offshore Wednesday. Low pressure moves up along this front later in the week. Right now think this week be a close call but stay mostly offshore.
TODAY: Mostly sunny. Clouds from the west late. Highs in the 30s. Wind light W.
TONIGHT: Variably cloudy. Lows 25-32. Wind light W.
TUESDAY: Mostly cloudy. Spotty light freezing rain/drizzle southern NH and northern MA early. Scattered rain showers afternoon. Highs in the 40s.
WEDNESDAY: Partly sunny. Lows 25-32. Highs 35-42.
THURSDAY: Mostly cloudy. Risk of mix/snow southeastern MA late. Lows 18-25. Highs in the 30s.
FRIDAY: Mostly to partly cloudy and windy. Temperatures steady in 30s.

DAYS 6-10 (JANUARY 30-FEBRUARY 3)…
Fair January 30. Periods of unsettled
weather possible to end January and start February as a frontal system may be nearby with mild air trying to push up from the south while a cold high builds across eastern Canada.

DAYS 11-15 (FEBRUARY 4-8)…
Weak weather systems possible around February 4 and 6 otherwise a generally quiet weather pattern expected during this period with temperatures near to above normal.

8:17AM

DAYS 1-5 (JANUARY 24-28)…
Looking back: The storm did MOSTLY as expected, but I was too low on my snow numbers for the immediate North Shore through Boston and its immediate outskirts, as well as my own area in the northwest suburbs. A pair of persistent snow bands in these locations while the snow shield was quasi-stationary on the storm’s pivot added more snow than I had forecast.
All that remains: Other than any snow cleanup, what lingers today is one more round of coastal flooding at this morning’s high tide in areas prone to it.
Looking ahead: A much quieter week of weather is ahead with fair and chilly weather today and Monday though a weak disturbance will bring some clouds across the region tonight. Milder air dominates Tuesday but with cloudiness and a risk of a spotty patch or 2 of freezing rain/drizzle mainly northern MA and southern NH first thing in the morning as a warm front passes – not a widespread and dangerous situation, then a chance of rain showers ahead of a cold front later on. Fair and cool for midweek.
TODAY: Mostly sunny. Clouds from the west late. Highs in the 30s. Wind N 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Variably cloudy. Lows in the 20s. Wind light W.
MONDAY: Partly cloudy. Highs in the 30s. Wind light W.
TUESDAY: Mostly cloudy. Spotty light freezing rain/drizzle southern NH and northern MA early. Scattered rain showers afternoon. Lows 25-32. Highs in the 40s.
WEDNESDAY: Partly sunny. Lows 25-32. Highs 35-42.
THURSDAY: Partly cloudy. Lows 18-25. Highs in the 30s.

DAYS 6-10 (JANUARY 29-FEBRUARY 2)…
Periods of cloudiness and remote risk of light precipitation January 29-30 as systems pass by in a split flow (one passing to the south with the subtropical jet stream and one to the north with the polar jet stream). Fair January 31. Another period of unsettled weather possible to start February as a frontal system may be nearby with mild air trying to push up from the south while a cold high builds across eastern Canada.

DAYS 11-15 (FEBRUARY 3-7)…
Weak weather systems possible around February 4 and 6 otherwise a generally quiet weather pattern expected during this period with temperatures near to above normal.

7:44PM

Here is an extra post to get things updated. Much of what comes below will be unchanged from the previous post, but some tweaks are being made to the final snow numbers and a couple other minor adjustments. An additional update will follow tomorrow morning as usual.

DAYS 1-5 (JANUARY 23-27)…
Storm update! What to expect in southern New England…
WHEN: Ongoing but ending Sunday morning.
SNOW START TIME: It started a long time ago and wherever it didn’t snow, it’s not gonna snow.
SNOW END TIME: From northwest to southeast through about 3AM Sunday, lastly Cape Cod and Nantucket.
SNOW INTENSITY: Heaviest bands as of 7:25PM are across Cape Cod and the South Coast with another in the immediate Boston area to Metro West but these will be shifting south to southeast and diminishing.
SNOW ACCUMULATION: Nothing or flakes in the air briefly in southern NH, dusting to 1 inch north central and northeastern MA, 1-3 inches just northwest of Boston stretching northeast to interior northeastern MA from near Boston west southwestward along the Mass Pike belt and just to the north, 3-6 inches from Boston west southwestward just south of the Mass Pike, 6-12 inches to the south of there with locally over 12 inches in some locations near the South Coast.
WIND: Gusts of 30 MPH or greater are likely in coastal NH and northeastern MA, 40 MPH or greater from coastal areas near Boston to the South Shore, 50 MPH or greater Cape Cod across to coastal RI and down Martha’s Vineyard, and 60 MPH or greater on Nantucket. Most of this has already occurred but the threat lingers a little longer this evening.
POWER OUTAGES: The most likely area for any power problems will remain the southern part of Cape Cod where the combination of strongest wind and wettest snow will be. Scattered outages elsewhere in southeastern MA, RI, and CT.
COASTAL FLOODING: Minor to moderate coastal flooding is most likely in the prone areas such as Scituate and Sandwich and similar locations from the South Shore of MA through Cape Cod and the from a couple hours before to a couple hours after high tide times both Saturday night and Sunday morning. Cannot rule out a pocket of major flooding since we have a full moon and astronomical high tides at this time. Major flooding would not be widespread in coastal areas.
After the storm! What to expect…
Improvement Sunday, fair and milder Monday, windy and not too chilly but a few rain showers Tuesday with an approaching cold front, then breezy and colder but fair weather Wednesday behind this front.
TONIGHT: Snow retreats northwest to southeast, lastly on Cape Cod. See above for accumulations. Lows 23-30. Wind NE to N 15-30 MPH, higher gusts (see above).
SUNDAY: Lingering clouds Cape Cod for part of the morning otherwise mostly sunny. Highs in the 30s. Wind NW 10-20 MPH with higher gusts.
MONDAY: Partly cloudy. Lows 18-25. Highs 35-42.
TUESDAY: Mostly cloudy and windy. Brief light mix possible morning. Few rain showers late. Lows 28-35. Highs in the 40s.
WEDNESDAY: Partly cloudy and windy. Lows in the 20s. Highs in the 30s.

DAYS 6-10 (JANUARY 28-FEBRUARY 1)…
Watching from late January 28 into January 30 for possible unsettled weather but odds favor most activity missing both to the north and south or just a fairly minor system passing through. Fair weather for the end of the period. Temperatures near to above normal.

DAYS 11-15 (FEBRUARY 2-6)…
Unsettled weather possible February 2-4 with an air mass battle possibly setting up in the area. Fair and a little colder by February 5-6 based on current timing.

8:56AM

DAYS 1-5 (JANUARY 23-27)…
Storm update! What to expect in southern New England…
WHEN: Today and tonight (except Sunday morning as well regarding tide impact).
SNOW START TIME: Already underway southwestern CT, remainder of South Coast of CT to Cape Cod mid to late morning, however by late morning a few snow showers unrelated to the storm are possible from near Boston to the North Shore and northwest Suburbs, otherwise the storm-related snow should reach northeastern CT, northern RI, and south central MA during the early afternoon and its furthest extend northward into MA to near the NH border during mid to late afternoon.
SNOW END TIME: From northwest to southeast generally between 8PM and 3AM, that is, firstly in the areas it reached the latest, and lastly around Cape Cod and the Islands closer to 3AM. This means areas near the South Coast snow the longest while areas northwest of Boston snow lesser time.
SNOW INTENSITY: Moderate snow as a general rule across most areas from Boston along the Mass Pike and southward, but a band of heavier snow will push into the South Coast of MA, RI, and CT. Light to very light snow as you head north and northwest toward the MA/NH border.
SNOW ACCUMULATION: Nothing or flakes in the air briefly in southern NH, dusting to 1 inch north central and northeastern MA, 1-3 inches from near Boston west southwestward along the Mass Pike belt and just to the north, 3-6 inches from just south of Boston down into much of southeastern MA to northern RI and northeastern CT, 6-10 inches southeastern CT and southern RI and the immediate South Coast of MA including the southern part of Cape Cod and the island of Martha’s Vineyard. Exceptions will be southwestern CT where over 10 inches will fall, Nantucket where an intense snow band may result in over 12 inches, and the eastern part of Cape Cod where slightly lighter precipitation and a possible mix may limit snow to 2-4 inches there.
WIND: Gusts of 30 MPH or greater are likely in coastal NH and northeastern MA, 40 MPH or greater from coastal areas near Boston to the South Shore, 50 MPH or greater Cape Cod across to coastal RI and down Martha’s Vineyard, and 60 MPH or greater on Nantucket.
POWER OUTAGES: The most likely area for any power problems will be the southern part of Cape Cod where the combination of strongest wind and wettest snow will be. Isolated outages possible elsewhere.
COASTAL FLOODING: Minor to moderate coastal flooding is most likely in the prone areas such as Scituate and Sandwich and similar locations from the South Shore of MA through Cape Cod and the from a couple hours before to a couple hours after high tide times both Saturday night and Sunday morning. Cannot rule out a pocket of major flooding since we have a full moon and astronomical high tides at this time. Major flooding would not be widespread in coastal areas.
After the storm! What to expect…
Improvement Sunday, fair and milder Monday, windy and not too chilly but a few rain showers Tuesday with an approaching cold front, then breezy and colder but fair weather Wednesday behind this front.
TODAY: Overcast. A band of light snow showers possible late morning to early afternoon from Boston area to the 128/95 belt around the city then may progress westward before dissipating, otherwise snow developing from south to north during the course of the day. Snow may mix with or even turn to rain at times on parts of Cape Cod and Nantucket. Highs 27-35, coldest over interior MA and southwestern to south central NH, mildest Cape Cod. Wind N to NE 5-15 MPH in areas northwest of Boston, NE to E 10-25 MPH with higher gusts elsewhere (see above for peak gusts).
TONIGHT: Snow retreats northwest to southeast, lastly on Cape Cod. See above for accumulations. Lows 23-30. Wind NE to N 15-30 MPH, higher gusts (see above).
SUNDAY: Lingering clouds Cape Cod for part of the morning otherwise mostly sunny. Highs in the 30s. Wind NW 10-20 MPH with higher gusts.
MONDAY: Partly cloudy. Lows 18-25. Highs 35-42.
TUESDAY: Mostly cloudy and windy. Brief light mix possible morning. Few rain showers late. Lows 28-35. Highs in the 40s.
WEDNESDAY: Partly cloudy and windy. Lows in the 20s. Highs in the 30s.

DAYS 6-10 (JANUARY 28-FEBRUARY 1)…
Fair weather is expected for most of if not all of this period but we may be in between systems in both the northern and southern jet streams January 29-30 so will have to keep an eye on these for most likely minor impact with any shift in storm tracks. Temperatures near to above normal.

DAYS 11-15 (FEBRUARY 2-6)…
Unsettled weather possible February 2-4 with an air mass battle possibly setting up in the area. Fair and a little colder by February 5-6 based on current timing.

7:18AM

DAYS 1-5 (JANUARY 22-26)…
High pressure hangs on one more day today which will feature plenty of sun but still cold air in place. This sets the stage for the side-swipe by a very large Winter storm passing south of the region this weekend. At this point the thinking on the track of this system has not really changed. What must be understood here is as a forecaster you’re trying to figure out subtle movements of essentially the northern edge of a system that’s tremendous in size, and that shifts of just mere miles will make a difference of up to inches in terms of snowfall. That said, the overall idea remains the same. The numbers will appear below in the forecast section, but I will preface it here by saying that my leaning is toward the lower end of the ranges in northern areas and the higher end of the ranges in southern areas. I can elaborate in the comment section below this discussion/forecast. Still looking for improvement as the storm moves away Sunday, nice weather Monday, and a quick turn to mild weather and an approaching system that may bring a touch of mix then some rain showers Tuesday.
TODAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 28-35. Wind N 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Increasing clouds. Lows in the 10s. Wind light N.
SATURDAY: Cloudy. Snow developing mainly southern areas afternoon, may mix with rain Cape Cod and Islands. Highs 28-35. Wind E increasing to 10-20 MPH except 20-30 MPH near the South Coast with higher gusts.
SATURDAY NIGHT: Cloudy. Chance of snow northern MA and southern NH. Snow likely southern MA and RI but may mix with rain Cape Cod and Islands. Most likely snow accumulation: 6-10 inches immediate South Coast of RI and MA including southern Cape Cod, 3-6 inches just north of there, 1-3 inches interior southern MA up to about the Mass Pike (1-2 inches Boston), and generally 1 inch or less northwest and north of Boston. Lows 25-33. Wind E 15-35 MPH, strongest along the coast with higher gusts.
SUNDAY: Gradually thinning and breaking overcast with snow ending northwest to southeast. Highs in the 30s. Wind NE to N 15-25 MPH with higher gusts.
MONDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows 15-25. Highs in the 30s.
TUESDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of very light mix morning and rain showers afternoon. Lows in the 20s. Highs in the 40s.

DAYS 6-10 (JANUARY 27-31)…
The final days of January will feature mostly dry weather and somewhat variable temperatures but overall on the milder side of average.

DAYS 11-15 (FEBRUARY 1-5)…
Mild and dry for a few days to start then a frontal passage with a minor precipitation event leads to fair and cooler weather by the end of the period.

7:35AM

DAYS 1-5 (JANUARY 21-25)…
High pressure in control today – fair and chilly. High pressure hangs on Friday – fair and chilly. Winter storm tracks south and east of New England this weekend – northern edge impacts here, light to possibly moderate snow amounts with the moderate amounts most likely along the New England South Coast, gusty winds for a period of time including the risk of coastal flooding near times of high tide. Improvement by late Sunday leading to a nice day Monday as high pressure returns to the region.
TODAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 28-35. Wind NW 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.
TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 8-15. Wind light NW to N.
FRIDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 28-35. Wind N 5-15 MPH.
FRIDAY NIGHT: Increasing clouds. Lows in the 10s. Wind light N.
SATURDAY: Cloudy. Snow developing mainly southern areas afternoon, may mix with rain Cape Cod and Islands. Highs 28-35. Wind E increasing to 10-20 MPH except 20-30 MPH near the South Coast with higher gusts.
SATURDAY NIGHT: Cloudy. Chance of snow northern MA and southern NH. Snow likely southern MA and RI but may mix with rain Cape Cod and Islands. Light to moderate accumulation possible with the moderate amounts likely further south (numbers on next update or possibly later today in comments below). Lows 25-33. Wind E 15-35 MPH, strongest along the coast with higher gusts.
SUNDAY: Gradually thinning and breaking overcast with snow ending northwest to southeast. Highs in the 30s. Wind NE to N 15-25 MPH with higher gusts.
MONDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows 15-25. Highs in the 30s.

DAYS 6-10 (JANUARY 26-30)…
Weak storm passes north of the region January 26 with milder air and a chance of a touch of light mix early then a chance of light rain showers later. Fair and seasonable to mild January 27-30.

DAYS 11-15 (JANUARY 31-FEBRUARY 4)…
Fair and mild start to the period, then may turn somewhat unsettled.

3:16AM

DAYS 1-5 (JANUARY 20-24)…
Weakening disturbance tries to send some cloudiness in today and tonight but most of it dries up as we continue to be dominated by a west to northwest flow of cold air which will now persist through Thursday, finally letting up Friday. The trend for the weekend storm threat has been to slow the arrival of whatever impact wet get and shift the main action to the south, that is, a Mid Atlantic storm, with lesser impact up here. Still leaning that way today. No details on this update regarding snow amounts. Still too early. One thing that is more likely to be a factor is coastal flooding due to onshore wind and astronomical high tide, as the full moon occurs Saturday. More about this in coming updates…
TODAY: Mostly sunny. Highs in the 20s. Wind WNW 10-20 MPH gusting as high as 30 MPH.
TONIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows in the 10s. Wind NW 5-15 MPH gusting as high as 25 MPH.
THURSDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs in the 20s. Wind NW 10-20 MPH gusting as high as 25 MPH.
FRIDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows 5-15. Highs 25-35.
SATURDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of snow PM. Lows 10-20. Highs 20-30.
SUNDAY: Variably cloudy. Chance of snow AM. Lows 15-25. Highs 25-35.

DAYS 6-10 (JANUARY 25-29)…
Dry and cool January 25. Risk of unsettled weather (precipitation type uncertain) January 26-27 but does not look major. Fair January 28-29 with temperatures close to normal.

DAYS 11-15 (JANUARY 30-FEBRUARY 3)…
A couple of fairly weak systems pass through with episodes of precipitation but fair weather will be dominant much of the time. Temperatures variable, averaging near to above normal.

7:16AM

DAYS 1-5 (JANUARY 19-23)…
Lesson learned (by me): I still can’t forecast inverted trough precipitation very well. Will work on it. Lesson not learned (by media in general): Saying too much about threats that are greater than a few days away will almost always come back to bite you. Not always, but almost always. And it may happen again. Firstly, the well-advertised cold is now here and will remain, accompanied by wind, for 2 more days, and then it will remain cold but with less wind on Thursday. The big question continues to be what happens with the storm potential for the end of the week. You all know my approach is a wait-and-see one, look at the data, ingest it but don’t choke on it, digest it but don’t let it cause you heartburn. It’s just a scientific process. Sometimes it works great, and sometime not so much. Either way, I will employ it. Though we are still 4 to 5 days out from this potential event, I’m starting to see more evidence that the main focus of that storm system will be over the Mid Atlantic, with a lesser impact up here in southeastern New England. The orientation of the steering currents in this continued split flow may end up taking the system more east than north. That does not remove us in southern New England from its threat, but instead of staring down the barrel of the cannon, we may be looking more at the side of it. Will continue to monitor…
TODAY: Partly cloudy. Highs 18-25. Wind NW 15-25 MPH, gusting over 30 MPH. Wind chill often near 0.
TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 5-10 except 10-15 urban areas and coastline. Wind NW 10-20 MPH and gusty. Wind chill often near 0.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 20-27. Wind NW 10-20 MPH with higher gusts.
THURSDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows 0-10 valleys, 10s elsewhere. Highs 26-33.
FRIDAY: Partly sunny. Lows 0-10 valleys, 10s elsewhere. Highs 28-35.
SATURDAY: Cloudy. Chance of snow. Lows in the 10s. Highs 25-32.

DAYS 6-10 (JANUARY 24-28)…
Chance of snow showers January 24. Fair January 25. Risk of unsettled weather January 26-27. Improving weather January 28. Variable temperatures, not far from normal.

DAYS 11-15 (JANUARY 29-FEBRUARY 2)…
Fair, briefly colder early period then warming trend. Risk of unsettled weather end of period.

7:21AM

DAYS 1-5 (JANUARY 18-22)…
The tricky trough produced a good swath of 2-6 inches of snow across much of eastern MA and nearby areas overnight but it is winding down first thing tomorrow and only passing snow showers are possible during the day as Arctic air arrives from the west. The rest of the forecast is unchanged from yesterday.
