As Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut dig out of major snowstorm, light snow continues with abnormally cold temps ahead with new potential storm looming
Southern New England hasn’t even finished digging out of over a foot of snow that dropped Sunday into Monday without talks of a significant storm possible in the coming days.
According to the National Weather Service, periods of light to moderate snow continue behind
low pressure as it pulls offshore Monday.
The surface low is well into the north Atlantic by noon today and the expected dry slot has moved overhead shutting off efficient snow making. So, while lingering wrap around moisture will continue to produce light snow across the region today, lack of moisture and the strong forcing that we saw on Sunday will mean much less in the way of additional snowfall today. Overall, expecting 1-2 inches in inland Southern New England with 2-5 inches more likely as you get closer to the extreme eastern and northeastern MA coastline. This is where NE wind
trajectory off the water together with convergence ahead of a front late in the day will lead to a pickup in snow coverage by the afternoon/evening.
After Monday, abnormally cold and mostly dry air enters with yet another storm possible off the coast next weekend.
Quiet weather then follows our active start to the week as dry, abnormally cold NW flow lingers overhead most of the week. Temperatures remain well below normal each day. Normal
highs/lows for late January are in the mid 30s and low 20s respectively; we are forecasting highs in the teens and 20s with lows in the single digits thanks to an anomalously cold airmass
overhead. A few shortwaves rounding the broader trough could bring some flurries off and on but on the whole, things look dry. The National Weather Service continues to monitor a potential storm off the coast toward next weekend. Can we make it 3 Sunday coastal storms in a row? We`ll see!
