| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Boston/Norton MA 222pm EST Tuesday Jan 13 2026 .WHAT HAS CHANGED... No significant changes have been made to the forecast. .KEY MESSAGES... - Period of showers late tonight across interior southern New England, with some snow showers confined to the very highest terrain. - Mild weather Wednesday into Wednesday night. A few rain showers perhaps ending as a brief period of light snow showers early Thu across the interior. - Turning colder Thu with falling daytime temps. Dry and cold Thu night-Fri. Lows Thu night in the upper single digits and teens with highs Fri mainly in the upper 20s and lower 30s. - Milder high temps into the 40s Sat with perhaps a bit of snow sometime Sat night-Sun, but a significant storm is unlikely. KEY MESSAGE 1...Period of showers late tonight across interior southern New England, with some snow showers confined to the very highest terrain. Still a risk for some showers tonight, but thinking the primary focus is shifting north of our region, closer to the low pressure north of the Great Lakes. Given the relatively weak lift and mostly dry lower levels across our region, not expecting much precipitation. The primary window of concern is between about 10 PM-4 AM. As warm as we are, expecting mainly rain for the most likely type, with perhaps snow light snow across the higher elevations of the Berkshires and far northern Worcester Hills towards the NH border. KEY MESSAGE 2...Mild weather Wednesday into Wednesday night. A few rain showers perhaps ending as a brief period of light snow showers early Thu across the interior. A potent mid level shortwave should amplify a mid level trough to our west Wednesday night. This in turn will continue to boost temperatures across southern New England Wednesday into Wednesday night. Expecting temperatures some 10-15 degrees above normal during this time. Some locations across RI and eastern MA could make a run at highs of 50F Wednesday. Rainfall should be the main precipitation type given these temperatures. An approaching cold front late Wednesday night could lead to some snowfall mixing in across the Berkshires after midnight. By daybreak Thursday, it's possible that some light snow could expand as far east as the Worcester Hills. Little snow accumulation is expected. KEY MESSAGE 3...Turning colder Thu with falling daytime temps. Dry and cold Thu night-Fri. Lows Thu night in the upper single digits and teens with highs Fri mainly in the upper 20s and lower 30s. As the low pressure lifts into Northern New England on Thursday a cold front swoops in ushering in a colder and drier airmass into SNE. There's still some question as to how quickly that cold air arrives, so low confidence on who may see some 40s stick around much of the day or not. Either way it will feel colder thanks to winds gusting 20-25 mph late in the day as the pressure gradient tightens between the deepening low and the incoming ridge of high pressure. Cold Air Advection continues into early Friday with 925mb temps dropping to -15C before rebounding as heigheights rise toward the weekend. This means one night (Thursday night) of lows in the single digits and low teens. Friday, highs only reach into the 20s with continued breezy winds. KEY MESSAGE 4...Milder high temps into the 40s Sat with perhaps a bit of snow sometime Sat night-Sun, but a significant storm is unlikely. Rising mid level heigheights are brief as the high pressure quickly moves east and a mid level trough digs into the Great Lakes. This places the region under warm SW flow and we'll see temps rise back into upper 30s and low 40s Saturday. A weak disturbance moving through may be enough to kick off some widely scattered low elevation rain or high elevation snow showers, but on the whole most locations should be dry. The core of the mid level low passes north into Canada; too soon to nail down exact details on what periods may have a better chance at some wet weather, but we continue to not expect a big storm system over the weekend. Marine Forecaster Confidence Levels... Low - less than 30 percent. Moderate - 30 to 60 percent. High - greater than 60 percent. High Confidence. Low pressure moving across southeast Canada will result in an increasing S to SW wind across the waters. Gusts up to 30 kt possible. Rough seas expected to develop across the southern coastal waters as well, so Small Craft Advisories continue. A cold front should approach the waters late Wednesday night. Outlook /Thursday through Sunday/... Thursday: Moderate risk for Small Craft Advisory winds with gusts up to 25 kt. Local rough seas. Slight chance of rain. Thursday Night: Moderate risk for Small Craft Advisory winds with gusts up to 30 kt. Areas of rough seas. Slight chance of freezing rain. Friday: Low risk for Small Craft Advisory winds with gusts up to 25 kt. Seas up to 5 ft. Chance of freezing spray. Friday Night: Moderate risk for Small Craft Advisory winds with gusts up to 30 kt. Local rough seas. Slight chance of rain, slight chance of snow. Saturday through Saturday Night: Winds less than 25 kt. Local rough seas. Slight chance of rain. Sunday: Winds less than 25 kt. Local rough seas. Slight chance of rain, slight chance of snow. NOAA Boston MA Office: Watches - Warnings - Advisories CT...None. MA...None. RI...None.
