DAYS 1-5 (FEBRUARY 4-8)
High pressure slides from the Ohio Valley to the Mid Atlantic today bringing fair but cold weather to southern New England. Low pressure passing north of the region Sunday will drag a cold front through by Sunday night with a few snow/rain showers around. A shot of cold air follows this for Monday with dry weather. By Tuesday, the first part of a complex storm system will arrive with low pressure moving along the front to our south, cold air in place and overrunning warmer air above. Snow/ice will result. The second part of this event will be as broad low pressure area tracks north of New England, drawing mild air up from the south, first aloft, later at the surface, with a changeover in precipitation eventually to rain for Wednesday. It will be the transition period between that will be the tricky part of the forecast.
TODAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 28-35. Wind NW 10-20 MPH.
TONIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 18-25. Wind WSW 5-15 MPH.
SUNDAY: Variably cloudy. PM rain/snow showers possible. Highs 35-42. Wind SW 10-20 MPH and gusty.
MONDAY: Mostly sunny and windy. Lows 25-32. Highs 35-42.
TUESDAY: Cloudy. Snow develops during the day and turns to ice and rain later day and night. Lows 20-27. Highs 28-35.
WEDNESDAY: Ice to rain, ending as rain showers late. Lows 28-35. Highs 38-45 north, 45-53 south.

      1. Since the dome is closed and it has environmentals does it matter? Or are you going and just curious?

  5. Good morning and thank you TK.

    I just took a peek at all of the models. Miserable for Winter.
    Euro and GFS have ZILCH for the front end of the Tues/Wed event for SNE.
    CMC still has like 4-6 inches or so, but we know what the cmc is all about.

    12Z NAM is coming out now. It will get us well into the event, so we shall see
    if there are any changes this morning.

    What we cannot determine from those runs is the extent of any icing that may occur and that would be mostly Inland, I would guess.

    Beyond that, I’m not feeling it as others stated yesterday.

    I sure hope something changes.

  8. Anybody know where the snowfall contest numbers are? I checked under the contests at the top of the page and they aren’t there. And I don’t remember the date of the post where we all put in the numbers.

    1. TK had a special place for them. Darned if I can remember. I have on my computer. Will dig them out but may not be until I turn computer on Monday. Please feel free to remind me. I may be a tad tired Monday 🙂

        1. Thanks that’s what I was looking for.
          Now if I could find a website that gives the total accumalted snow for the season, I’d be in business. But darned if i can find it on the web.
          I know some of you post the seasonal numbers sometimes. What web site do you use?

          1. Tom showed me how once and that, unfortunately, is on my computer. I think he took me through NWS page. Sorry I can’t be any help

    1. I would be paying attention to the storm coming on Tuesday if I thought the snow that actually falls would stay on the ground, as well as I am trying to budget for a grant…. (gran proposal for my honors research that I am looking to do this summer)

  10. Houston forecast hasn’t changed from SAK’s previous update. Scattered showers daytime. Mainly overcast night. Temps coast down past 70 but roof should be closed if they are smart making weather irrelevant for the game.

  11. Quiet in here.
    Tuesday’s storm (and I use that term loosely) isn’t much. After that, torch?
    Anyhoo

    Truck Day is Monday
    Spring Training starts in 10 days
    First exhibition game is in 19 days
    Little league baseball clinic started last Sunday
    Opening day is in 57 days against the Pittsburgh Pirates
    Boston Marathon is in 72 days.

    Oh yea,
    Spring starts in 44 days. 25 days till met spring!

      1. You did. I neglected to see it
        The link wasn’t to the right site I don’t think. At least I could’t find the snow fall to date there.. Maybe Tom will chime in at some point and tell us where to find the snow info.

    1. Not buying this article. It looks like the second map does have gray areas, but those are meant to denote missing data and don’t necessarily mean that NOAA doesn’t have any data there. And satellite temperature data has been accused of being flawed in a number of studies.

      1. I think what they did in the first graph was use the added sea surface temperature data to make an educated guess as to the temperature over land. Or maybe their dataset got more information. It may be misleading, but not nessecarily fake.

  13. They’ve changed some things at the Taunton NWS site, so it’s in a different spot now.

    Logan’s at 15.6 ” for the season.
