Its another cold morning in southern New England with temperatures generally in the teens and partly cloudy skies. A few flurries are evident across interior Massachusetts before daybreak, as a secondary cold front moves into the region. A mix of clouds and sunshine today may yield more flurries and a gusty wind will keep reminding us that this indeed, was a cold month. For Boston this will probably be the coldest month in 115 years and tied for second coldest all time, still no comparison to February 1934. Highs today will be in the upper teens to mid 20s. Skies will clear tonight and lows will generally range from 5 to 15 above zero. Sunday will begin a moderation of the cold, highs may be nudging the freezing mark in many non high terrain areas, the first time since the twenty second of January. Skies will be sunny and with less wind, it will feel nicer. Monday looks to be a fantastic mid winter day, with temperatures finally reaching normal highs in the 30s, and almost no wind with still plenty of sunshine. A fast moving coastal storm threatens to bring a 6 to 12 hour period of significant precipitation to the area Tuesday, snow to rain on the coast and mostly snow in the interior. Meanwhile, strong low pressure east of Newfoundland this weekend keeps the chilly northwest wind noticeable into Sunday. High pressure will move through New England Monday. === === === ORH Terminal Aerodrome Forecast issued 31-Jan-2004 08:04 EST === 8am: 27010kt P6sm Few015 Ovc040; Tempo 8-10am: -shsn Bkn015 10am: 28017g26kt P6sm Bkn035; Tempo 11-2pm: -shsn 7pm: 30014g20kt P6sm Sct030
