Significant Weather Outlook: Monday, February 2, 2026 2 PM

Weekly Significant Weather Outlook for Southern New England

Most of the coming week looks to be rather tranquil with some moderation in temperature and dry except for perhaps a few flurries Tuesday night into Wednesday.  A quick moving clipper system may produce some snow Friday night (probably a few inches at most) and then usher in another blast of arctic cold for the weekend.
