DAYS 1-5 (JANUARY 17-21)…
Sneaky snow coming? Not if you see it coming. It’s become apparent that a small, well-placed inverted trough will create some snow in the region tonight as a developing ocean storm heads out to sea just southeast of New England, and a disturbance in the polar jet stream approaches from the west, taking along an Arctic boundary. This quick-hitting snow event may leave some accumulation and then it may be added to slightly but a batch of snow showers/squalls with the Arctic boundary, which will lead the coldest air of the season so far into the region later Monday. This very cold air mass will hang around into midweek before easing slightly.
TODAY: Increasing clouds. Highs in the 30s. Wind NW to N up to 10 MPH.
TONIGHT: Cloudy. Snow developing with 1 to 3 inches possible. Locally heavier amounts also possible. Snow mixed with rain on parts of the South Shore to Cape Cod early before becoming snow. Lows in the 20s. Wind N 5-15 MPH.
MONDAY: Variably cloudy morning with snow showers likely – additional minor snow accumulation possible. Partly cloudy to mostly sunny afternoon with isolated snow showers. Temperatures fall into the 10s. Wind variable up to 10 MPH early becoming W 5-15 MPH but gusty in passing snow showers then NW increasing to 15-30 MPH with gusts 35-45 MPH during the afternoon.
TUESDAY: Mostly sunny. Windy. Lows 0-10. Highs 15-25.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows 0-10. Highs in the 20s.
THURSDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows 0-10. Highs 25-35.
DAYS 6-10 (JANUARY 22-26)…
Continuing to watch a storm threat for late January 22 into January 23 which may bring significant snow to at least parts of the region. Too early to be sure if/where mix/rain gets involved. Something to watch. Fair, windy, colder January 24. Fair and more tranquil January 25. Next unsettled weather threat may arrive by January 26.
DAYS 11-15 (JANUARY 27-31)…
A storm system may impact the region to start the period followed by period of fair weather with a couple quick air mass changes in the final days of the month.
