Today’s Weather
Get ready for a uniquely mild day, where clouds dominate the sky, and showers are on the horizon! As temperatures climb to a high of 45 degrees, it may feel a crisp 35, so be sure to bundle up. Expect some light afternoon showers, about a tenth of an inch of rainfall. With a gentle south wind blowing at 5 to 15 mph, it’s the perfect excuse to grab your umbrella and embrace the invigorating weather.
Spring-like Weather
Springlike warmth will linger in New England through the middle of next week, but colder air is set to return, bringing the potential for a snowstorm by the end of the week and into next weekend.
If the storm moves up the coast, heavy snow might blanket the Appalachians and the northern and western suburbs of major I-95 cities in the Northeast. But if it shifts farther east, there could be little to no snow, with only a light dusting possible along parts of the mid-Atlantic coast. A second storm next weekend (Jan. 17-18) could follow a path that’s more likely to bring snow to the I-95 corridor in the Northeast.
