My Current Thinking...

Here is my current thinking as to what may be happening with this late January "storm" this Monday afternoon and night. Currently, local media outlets are forecasting a light mix of rain/sleet/snow, but with each new run of the computer models, this storm just keeps moving further and further south. Some computer models are barely making the light snow and flurries band this far north around Brockton, MA; Putman, RI; and Hartford, CT. Down south on the Cape will see a very light mixture of rain and snow. We are not talking about a whole lot of precipitation here. Maybe a trace to a tenth of an inch of liquid north of the dark gray line and .1" to .2" of liquid to the south on the Cape. In normal situations this would equate to 1-2" of snow, but temperatures at this time will be in the mid to even upper 30's, limiting any accumulation and where it could stick to the north of the dark gray line, where temperatures will be in the lower 30's on Monday afternoon, there just will not be enough precipitation to see any of these flurries amount to anything. So, at this time, very early out, I am calling for NO ACCUMULATION, just some wet pavement on the Cape and South Coast and maybe a skim coating of snow around Providence, RI.

Again, nothing to write home about...
