FREEZING DRIZZLE AND/OR MIXED PRECIP SHOWERS THIS MORNING WITH SLIPPERY ROADS IN SPOTS.. ANY ICING GIVES WAY TO DRYING BY NOON AND A PARTLY SUNNY AFTERNOON… SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS POSSIBLE THIS EVENING AS ENERGY MOVES THROUGH THE REGION FROM PARENT LOW PRESSURE… MORE RAIN AND SNOW SHOWERS THURS. NIGHT INTO FRIDAY, QUITE MILD ON FRIDAY! THEN THINGS GET INTERESTING THE BACK HALF OF FEBRUARY…. (6:05am Wed)
Good morning everybody, again, thanks for all the interactions and reports yesterday. The entire region received between 2″-6″ of snow and sleet with reports of up to three-tenths of an inch of freezing rain accretion overnight. It certainly was a very pretty afternoon
I’m gonna just cut to the chase and bullet things out below:
–Freezing drizzle and scattered light mixed precip showers this morning dries out by noon (likely before)
–Cloudy skies give way to clearing and sunshine in the afternoon with highs in the mid to upper 30s
–Some scattered snow showers are expected as energy from the parent low still has to work west to east through the region (see attached)
–Colder works back into the region tonight and west winds will correspondingly gust to 25mph or so at times
–Expect lows tonight to drop to either side of 20 degrees under partly cloudy skies
–Very nice day on Thursday, with mostly sunny skies and highs in the mid to upper 30s as high pressure noses in for a minute
–We cloud up Thursday night as a warm front approaches the region as lows drop into the 20s

–Scattered snow showers will move through overnight into Friday morning, and will then change to rain showers
–Friday could see highs soaring into the 50s for a day before a cold front moves through and drops us into the 20s Friday night
–This means that Friday night into Saturday night will feature development of black ice, due to snow melt on Friday
–The polar jet starts to make its influence felt as it is suppressed south into next week, residing over southeast Canada and keeping the cold nearby
–Saturday is seasonably cold with highs in the low to mid 30s under partly sunny skies with lows in the teens, as a storm skirts just south of us
–For Sunday, highs are cooler, and in the upper 20s to low 30s, with another system possibly moving into the region Sunday night
–This would likely be a light snow event, and impact mainly areas south of the MassPike
–Fair weather builds in early next week, but by the middle of next week, all eyes are on a Pacific storm that moves into the southwest U.S. and may track through the Deep South and then turn the corner up the coast and bring a bigger wintry storm here
Time will tell, but that’s how things look now. Have a great day!
