After a cold start to the weekend, temperatures will gradually climb as we head into early next week. Friday will bring gusty northwest winds as a coastal low passes southeast of New England. Expect dry conditions through Monday with a steady uptick in temperatures. However, uncertainty remains for mid-week as another coastal low could bring rain or snow to the region. Stay tuned for updates as we track this potential storm.
Here’s the updated daily weather forecast, from Friday, February 14 to Friday February 21 by Meteorologist Matthew Moll of New England Weather Consulting:
Friday, February 14: A chilly day with temperatures near 30°F and breezy conditions. Winds will be strong from the west at 17 to 23 mph, gusting up to 45 mph, making it feel colder. By evening, the winds will calm slightly, with a low around 12°F. A partly cloudy night is expected, with a west wind around 5 to 10 mph. Saturday, February 15: A cloudy day with a chance of snow in the afternoon, temperatures reach near 30°F.
Watertown residents should prepare for a classic February weather pattern with plenty of ups and downs. After a quiet end to the week, all eyes are on a winter storm set to arrive late Saturday night, bringing a good chance for plowable snowfall across the area. While trends are favoring mostly snow, there’s still a small chance for some sleet or freezing rain to mix in. Once that system moves out, we’ll dry out to start the new workweek before another potential winter storm moves in by midweek. This second system is still uncertain in its track, but it’s something to keep an eye on.
Here’s the updated daily weather forecast from Wednesday, February 5 to Friday, February 7 by Meteorologist Matthew Moll of New England Weather Consulting:
Wednesday, February 5:
High pressure builds in from the Great Lakes, bringing mostly sunny skies but cold temperatures. Highs will only reach between 25°F and 30°F, though with much less wind than the previous day. The night will remain dry as high pressure shifts eastward, but increasing mid-to-high-level clouds will move in from the west late at night ahead of an approaching system. Overnight lows will dip well into the teens, with some single-digit temperatures possible in typically colder low-lying areas. Thursday, February 6:
A fast-moving storm system will bring wintry precipitation beginning between 7:00 AM and 11:00 AM.
Watertown residents should prepare for an active weather pattern as we close out January and head into the first week of February. A frontal system moving through on Friday could bring a mix of precipitation, though details on how much and what type remain uncertain. After that, a colder but drier stretch is expected for the weekend, with another chance for light snow late Sunday into Monday. Here’s what to expect:
Friday, January 31:
We’re keeping a close eye on a storm system approaching from the west, which looks increasingly likely to bring some precipitation during the day. The biggest question remains what kind — rain, snow, sleet, or even freezing rain could all be in the mix depending on how much warmer air pushes in.
Over the next week, Watertown residents can expect a lot of chilly but sunny weather. It’s going to be a pretty cold stretch overall, with daytime highs mostly in the 20s and 30s, and winds making it feel even colder at times. Sunday through Tuesday will bring a bit of a break with slightly warmer temperatures, but those gusty winds will keep things feeling brisk, especially at night when temperatures will dip into the teens and 20s. So, while the sun will be out for the most part, be sure to bundle up and prepare for some pretty cold evenings ahead. Friday, January 24:Sunny, with a high near 30°F.
Sunday will bring 5 to 9 inches of snow, followed by a stretch of cold, winter-like weather, with mostly sunny to partly cloudy days and chilly nights. Strong northwest winds will make it feel colder than the actual temperatures, especially during the day. With clear to partly cloudy skies at night, temperatures will drop into the low to mid-20s, making for brisk evenings. The persistent cold and gusty winds will keep outdoor activities cool and require warm layers. Be prepared for a crisp and quiet winter week ahead.
