Series of storms this week

SUNDAY EVENING SHOWERS

Showers continue through the majority of the evening on this Sunday. Temps won’t move a ton with the clouds overhead though, so this will not transition to snow or anything other. We’ll fall to the mid to low 30s after the rain is out early Wednesday morning.

WINTER STORM TUESDAY

Monday will be a cooler day, but a sunny one at least. Highs will stay in the low 40s with a bit of a breeze in the afternoon. The introduction of colder air sets the table for the first real snowfall coming on Tuesday.

A developing coastal storm will spread snow and a wintry mix across New England, and this one has the potential to create widespread travel disruptions from morning through evening. A Winter Storm Watch has been issued for parts of our area away from the coast, this is where we have the potential to see up to 6″ of snow.

Interior higher elevations stand to see the most snow, with totals in that six inch ballpark. Closer to the coast—including the 128 corridor—snow amounts drop into the one-to-three-inch range, mixing at times with sleet and rain for a slushier outcome. Along the immediate coastline and across the South Shore, expect only a coating to an inch, with more rain than snow. The Cape and Islands will stay on the rainy side of the storm altogether. With precipitation lasting much of the day, both commutes will be affected.

By Wednesday, sunshine returns, but colder air settles in for the remainder of the week. Friday will not escape the freezing mark at all, with highs stuck in the upper 20s. And as we head toward next weekend, we’re already keeping an eye on the potential for yet another storm system.
