Although not as extreme as the cold air earlier in the month, temperatures overnight did fall to the upper single numbers and teens, and northwest winds gusting at times to 30 mph helped create a wind chill around zero. Cold air is in place at all levels of the atmosphere this morning. Because of that the sunshine we see this morning will self destruct, with much more in the way of clouds this afternoon. Also, as the cold air moves over the ocean water, it will create bands of clouds and snow showers. But because winds are from the west and northwest, most of these clouds and snowflakes will remain offshore. Temperatures today will slowly recover to the mid teens to mid 20s. The clouds will break up this evening and temperatures will again dip to the single numbers with some spots inland diving below zero. Meanwhile, low pressure moving out of the northern plains will swing south of New England. As the low approaches later tonight, clouds will increase once more. Clouds will linger Saturday morning as the low passes us to the south. High pressure will build over New England late Saturday and remain with us into Sunday. This will mean mostly clear skies, and on Saturday night temperatures will again dip to around zero or a little below. The next threat of precipitation will come Sunday night and Monday. Another area of low pressure will approach from the middle of the country. === === === ORH Terminal Aerodrome Forecast issued 23-Jan-2004 06:20 EST === 7am: 28010kt P6sm Skc 10am: 28018g30kt P6sm Bkn045 5pm: 28010kt P6sm Sct250 2am: 30010kt P6sm Ovc040
