Parade of storms this week! – Boston Information, Climate, Sports activities

Right now brings the primary of a number of storms we’re monitoring throughout New England via the subsequent week. Whereas this primary storm isn’t nothing, it’s not a blockbuster for us.

That stated, be ready for rain, a wintry combine, and a few night snow showers via the night. We’ve primarily seen drizzle and rain to date at this time– no shock with temperatures being largely effectively above freezing for a lot of the Bay State. However because the solar units and temperatures drop, we’ll see a short changeover to snow showers.

Accumulations from this storm are fairly minimal. Most have the potential for a coating, however not a lot previous that until you’re in the next elevation space (just like the Worcester Hills or the Berkshires) during which case you could be on both facet of an inch. Thoughts you, this may also be a moist, mushy snow. Not the tremendous fluffy stuff we noticed in prior storms. Ethical of the story is that this storm received’t be extremely impactful, however it’s going to make roads a bit slick, so watch out in case you’re getting behind the wheel this night/tonight!

Tomorrow can be our “break” day! We’ll be partly to principally sunny with gentle winds and highs between 35-40 levels. Total? Not dangerous. A fairly strong, considerably common winter day. Get pleasure from it, as a result of it’s one in all one.

We go proper again to this storm sample on Friday… and this storm appears to be like prefer it might have a bit of extra to it than the one we’ve handled at this time.

Proper now, it appears to be like like this storm might begin late Friday morning as rain or a wintry combine, however rapidly change to snow north of the Mass Pike. Areas alongside and south of the Pike will take longer to changeover, however will see snow showers as effectively.

Proper now, preliminary accumulation estimates appear to be 2-4″ for most individuals, with a coating – 2″ south of route 44 in CT and south of route 6 in RI. On the flip facet, areas of NH, VT and southern ME might see 4-6″, and even 6+ domestically. To be fully frank, I count on this map to alter a bit over the approaching days, so keep tuned.

However we’re not completed there! After this storm wraps up Saturday night, we get a bit of downtime on Sunday earlier than the subsequent storm rolls round. That is one other coastal storm that, in the mean time, appears to be like prefer it’ll keep largely offshore, brushing Southern New England with flurries and a snow bathe or two. Nonetheless, that is one other a kind of conditions that, if the storm shifts even barely, it might be a really completely different story.

On one other be aware: let’s speak temperature. Of the primary 17 days of February, 14 had been beneath common. Right now appears to be like like, as soon as the official numbers are available in, it might be added to the above-average tally, because of above-average lows and near-average highs.

For the document, the typical excessive this time of 12 months is 40 levels, and the typical low is 25. Whereas we’ll keep within the neighborhood of common via the tip of the workweek, the tip of the weekend and most of subsequent week look cooler (however not horrific), with highs largely within the mid 30s.
