Some sunshine finally returning tomorrow...and a mild weekend ahead. Could see a few spots in the low 50s Sunday, especially from Boston southward. #wbz

This January has been remarkably mild
Boston has had zero days with highs at or below freezing
Also zero nights in the 10s
Worcester has now gone a MONTH straight without a colder than average day. Will be the longest streak of warmer than average days on record. #wbz

10-14" of rain across parts of Cape Cod/Islands for the month. Obscene for January

Some serious gusts here in Fairhaven. House shaking and humming pretty steadily

After a wet and windy night..more mild weather ahead (by January standards). Napkin math...I'm projecting we finish with the 2nd or 3rd warmest January on record. #wbz

Pockets of freezing rain will continue for a couple of hours across interior locales before warming a bit above freezing overnight. Very icy untreated surfaces. #wbz

The window for wintry precipitation is only open for about 2 more hours (until 9-10pm) before the transition to all rain is complete. Slick spots during that time...then we head over to the heavy rain. #wbz

Congrats to NYC...now has secured the latest on record they've ever gone without measurable snowfall
Quote Tweet
Only a trace of snow has been recorded at Central Park today. The changeover to rain has taken place. 1/29/1973 was the latest 1st measurable snow at 1.8" since records began in 1869. If no measurable snowfall occurs by Jan 29, this season will replace the current record. #NYCwx

Here comes our chance for some minor snow accumulations. Will have the best shot of sticking in the higher terrain where temperatures are colder. #wbz

After tonight, parts of SE Mass will be on the cusp of 10" of rain this month. Almost unheard of for January

Definitely a good chance of river flooding with tonight's heavy rain + snow melt
Quote Tweet
@ericfisher concord river in Bedford/Carlisle ( rte 225) very high for past two weeks. Up to the lip of the overpass. Thoughts about flood risk tonight/tomorrow?

It's been so wet that river flooding in January, that's not ice jam related, is expected tonight
Quote Tweet
[Flooding Possible] Snow develops this afternoon and changes to heavy rain tonight. The heaviest rain is will fall across RI/SE...where 2 to 3 inches rain are expected. This may lead to not only street flooding, but minor river & stream flooding depicted in the graphic below.

The 7-day now runs through the end of January. This time around, the month was completely devoid of any cold arctic air. Helped energy bills, at least! #wbz

Starting off with snowflakes before the transition to heavy rain tomorrow evening. Not expecting a lot, but some snowy PM travel before switching. #wbz

Good old fashioned January Flood Watch out for tomorrow night. Torrential rain (1-2") plus wiping out any snow on the ground from Boston -> south. #wbz

Pond Hockey Classic got moved to Lake Waukewan, too. Winni not bringing the ice

The ice runway on Alton Bay, Lake Winnipesaukee will be closed for 2023 winter season. The bay still has open water...

On top of that, technique has changed over time so historical comparisons can become iffy. It's just not a very precise weather variable to observe

Snow measuring is about as imperfect as it gets
It varies within the same town
It varies if someone is sending in grass or on a board
It varies if you're clearing the board more than you should
Snowfall is what you have to shovel or plow on pavement. That is my $0.02

Logan is playing games again. 3 even by Sullivan Square, Charlestown. Right in front of the MBTA salt deposit.

The big Q to our south with this next storm is...will NYC get measurable snow?
If they don't get it Wednesday PM before rain, then they'll set the record for longest they've ever gone into the season without any snowfall
