The warmer air is coming, but we have a couple of wintry bumps in the road before it gets here.
Monday will be the coldest of the next ten days, with highs only limping back to the mid and upper 20s. Clouds will be on the move, with the brightest part of the day in the morning. We’ll wait until late evening for the first flakes to fly.
This is weak system, so we’re not expecting it to be a serious snow maker. Generally, it will be a coating to near one inch for many, with isolated spots near two inches in the Worcester Hills. The Cape should see a transition to rain late night and predawn Tuesday.
We’ll have some leftover cold air around on Tuesday as another wave of precipitation rolls in late at night. This time around, the upper atmosphere is above freezing, while the temps at ground level will be near freezing in spots. This spells icing, and although it doesn’t seem like much, there may be some slick spots away from the coast.
We’ll even the score on Wednesday as all spots rise into the low 40s. Showers will scoot out early, with some afternoon sun expected. Then it’s all about the milder air through the weekend as temps rise to the low and mid-50s! This is a true January thaw, with even the overnight low temps staying above freezing in some select spots…
