For the 13th Time...
Boston touched 50 degrees for the 13th time this Winter...to date, we only di that feat three times last year! It won't be 50 tomorrow but it will still be on the mild side. A coldfront will slip through tomorrow morning and shift the wind into the NW...along the front I do not see enough moisture for precip but there will be intervals of clouds. The airmass behind the front will be much colder and Wednesday's highs with limited sunshine will be in the mid 30s.
A very weak upper level disturbance will spin up an area of low pressure over the Mid-Atlantic, we will be located on the northern flank of the moisture so not much will available but enough for flurries especially south of the Pike Wednesday night. Clouds will break by Thursday morning and sun will prevail temps will still be fairly mild for the end of the week as we wait for the next front to pass through...highs in the 40s.
That next front will have passed through by Saturday morning as a large polar vortex slides south from Canada for the first time in a long time. This will deliver a stretch of below normal temps for a change that lasts through the upcoming weekend. The big question is can we get a storm to develop when the cold is present. In short, it doesn't look like it...several weaker vort maxes will spin around the base of the vortex but nothing potent enough to spin up surface lows at this time. We will be on the look out though!
