DAYS 1-5 (DECEMBER 5-9)
Today we get a glancing shot of the coldest airmass of the late autumn / early meteorological winter so far, with dry weather, and a diminishing wind as high pressure builds in. Tonight and Saturday morning, we watch low pressure pass to our south. A northward extension of a low pressure trough can bring some snow showers to the region Saturday morning and midday – though it may warm just enough for this to mix with or turn to rain showers near the South Coast before ending. Either way, it’s a minor event, then gone. We’ll watch for a small low pressure area to move quickly our way later Sunday, passing just to the north, dragging another strong cold front through the region, with a snow shower chance Sunday late day and night. Reinforcing cold arrives for early next week with dry weather.
TODAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 23-30. Wind NW 5-15 MPH, higher gusts. Wind chill often below 20.
TONIGHT: Clouds increase. Lows 13-20 evening, rising slowly overnight. Wind variable up to 10 MPH.
SATURDAY: Mostly cloudy morning-midday with scattered to numerous snow showers, may turn to rain showers south of I-90 before ending. Highs 35-42. Wind variable up to 10 MPH becoming W.
SATURDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 18-25. Wind W up to 10 MPH becoming calm.
SUNDAY: Clouds increase. Snow shower chance late-day. Highs 34-41. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.
SUNDAY NIGHT: Lots of clouds with snow showers likely early, then clearing. Lows 12-19. Wind NW 10-20 MPH.
MONDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 25-32. Wind NW 10-20 MPH, diminishing.
MONDAY NIGHT: Clear. Lows 8-15. Wind NW under 10 MPH.
TUESDAY: Sun followed by clouds. Highs 28-35. Wind N up to 10 MPH.
DAYS 6-10 (DECEMBER 10-14)
Pattern brings two minor precipitation chances – early December 10, and again later in the period around December 13. Temperatures variable, but mostly below normal.
DAYS 11-15 (DECEMBER 15-19)
One storm may track into the Great Lakes and bring a brief warm-up early in the period before cold air returns for most of the period. One or two clipper systems bring snow or snow shower chances mid to late period.
Thank you, TK.
Good morning and thank you Tk.
13 now and low.
Ocean temps not available this morning. I did get a temp off the coast of Maine at 47.
Last evenings snow showers left the ground dusted white here.
Wordle; 3
2 in a row at 3, they want you to keep playing, awesome !
Weird. 2 FAILS followed by 2 3s. Strange game or it’s my mind????
I think we all see that. Frustrating as it can be it oddly still ends up being fun
Nice JPD. They definitely want you to keep playing. 3 for me too.
Join me in the coal tender!
Happy to. 🙂
Thanks TK !
The full moon was continuing to put on a show this morning, in the lower western sky, looked amazing.
I got a hot coffee this morning.
Wordle: 2 phew’s in a row, 6. 🙂
PHEW, but you got it!!! 🙂
And you got it. Perfect. I think we are all up and down. It would not be as much fun if every day were the same number
My first Wordle guess gave a lot of information. With that and a mountain of good luck, I got it in 2 (TOOT-TOOT I think I get to play with the whistle today!).
We have a WINNER!!!! Well done!!!
So Far I am stuck in the coal tender!!!!

We are up to 12 from a low of 7.
“Last night (December 4th), an air temperature of -21F was measured at the summit of Mount Washington. This matched our daily record low for December 4th, originally set in 1976 and equaled in 1989 (records date back to 1932).”
Up to 18 here. brrr. This is cold enough for me. 🙂 🙂

It was coming down pretty hard in southern VA and SE Kentucky last night when I checked out the radar as well.
Thanks TK.
7F for a low in Coventry CT this AM.
0z Euro Op with an interesting setup about a week from now…

0z ICON had it as well with a much stronger coastal:
https://www.pivotalweather.com/model.php?m=icon&rh=2025120500&fh=168&dpdt=&mc=
0z CMC keeps it weak and well south of us and 6z GFS sends a weaker system north of us.
4 models/4 different solutions.
That ICON is too tight for my liking. Great for up North, but another bummer for here. Long way to go, but something to monitor for sure!
Thanks TK
Thanks, TK.
As you know, today is a 10 in my book. A tad colder would be ideal. But I’ll take it: Sunny, very little wind, a refreshing chill. My 6.5 mile run along the Charles was quite spectacular. As I’ve said before, even if it doesn’t snow in winter, it’s these days that I long for.
Colder ?!?!?!?!?!
That’s great !! You are likely to get your wish, at least a couple times, in the next few to several weeks. 🙂
I’m glad. I thrive in cold. I wilt in heat. I realize I am in the minority. My Mom once called me her little Inuit (I was 4). It’s because I loved being outside in winter. Cold never bothered me and I could stay outside in the snow and cold all day.
