DAYS 1-5 (DECEMBER 22-26)
High pressure brings fair, chilly weather today. A fast-moving clipper low brings the region a general light snowfall Tuesday, though marginal temperatures mean that some rain will likely be involved along the South Coast. while the track of the initial low pressure is going to be to our north, the system will be redeveloping as it moves offshore, and a trough around the back side of the newly-developing low can prolong snow shower activity near the eastern coastal locations, especially Cape Ann to Cape Cod MA, Tuesday night to early Wednesday. The rest of Wednesday – Christmas Eve – looks dry as a small area of high pressure moves in. A weak trough can cause a quick snow flurry in some areas Christmas morning, but the remainder of Christmas Day – Thursday – will feature lots of clouds but will be precipitation-free. We’ll be watching low pressure tracking along a frontal boundary just to our south on Friday, bringing the chance of snow/mix/rain to the region. It’s a bit soon for detail on this, in terms of magnitude and type of precipitation across the region, but this will be fine-tuned over the next couple of days. For now, plan for the potential for some weather-impacted travel conditions on the day after Christmas.
TODAY: Sunshine and some cloud patches. Highs 30-37. Wind NW 10-20 MPH, diminishing late.
TONIGHT: Clouds increase . Lows 23-30. Wind variable up to 10 MPH.
TUESDAY: Cloudy with snow (except some mix/rain MA South Coast briefly to South Shore longer), accumulation 1 to 3 inches except less than 1 inch near the coast south of Boston. Highs 35-42. Wind variable 5-15 MPH.
TUESDAY NIGHT: Variably cloudy. Snow showers possible Cape Ann to Cape Cod with minor additional accumulation possible. Lows 18-25. Wind variable then N to NW 5-15 MPH except 15-25 MPH coast.
WEDNESDAY: Variably cloudy. Possible snow showers early favoring far eastern areas. Highs 32-39. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 20-27. Wind W up to 10 MPH.
THURSDAY (CHRISTMAS): Partly cloudy. A brief snow flurry possible in the morning. Highs 35-42. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
THURSDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Lows 22-29. Wind variable up to 10 MPH.
FRIDAY: Overcast. Rain/mix/ice/snow chances. Highs 32-39. Wind variable 5-15 MPH.
DAYS 6-10 (DECEMBER 27-31)
Temperatures near to below normal with our region mostly on the colder side of a boundary. Some unsettled weather is still possible to likely during the December 27-28 weekend followed by a drier trend.
DAYS 11-15 (JANUARY 1-5)
Variable but overall near normal temperatures with a couple disturbances to bring some unsettled weather, but no indication of major storms in the early days of 2026.

Thanks TK !
Wordle: 5, there was potential for a 3 or 4, but not to be.
Thank you, TK. Up 26 from 24
Thank you TK. Appreciate the work during busy times!
Odd word again. Five is great Tom. 4 for me. Word always has me thinking of Ted. That should not give anything away
Patriots:
100% chance of being in the playoffs as we all know
80% chance of winning AFC East
40% chance of being AFC #1 seed
10% chance of winning the SB.
I think if they win the East they will be in the Top 3 seeds. Being the AFC #1 seed means the Pats would have to win remaining games and the Broncos would have to lose a game … actually not sure that scenario would be a 100% Guarantee.
Sounds about right.
Not likely to win super bowl, but with Drake Maye, not completely out of the realm of possibility. In a way, not unlike Tom Brady in 2001, SHOULD they make it.
Wordle in 4
And 4 for me as well.
Excellent!!
Thank you, TK.
Great comeback win for the Pats!
Was a fun game. Maye is so fun to watch.
Good morning and thank you TK.
27 here up from low of 25
Ocean: 45
Tomorrow: big woof. How much will have to fall for there
still to be a White Christmas in Boston? I don’t think 1 inch or less will cut it. Boston would need to pick up 2 inches tomorrow to have chance, my opinion anyway.
Pats: Exciting game. Nice to see Drake Maye come through when needed the most! VERY NICE!!! Maye picked an excellent game to have his first ever 300 yard game with 380 yards!!! Do you think he might be a KEEPER????
Wordle: A lousy 5 for me as I join Tom in the caboose today.
Nice 4s for the rest of you. To me it was a difficult word and getting ZILCH with my first guess didn’t help matters any.
Yes, I am certainly very familiar with the word for certain, but it didn’t fit well with the guesses.
12 NAM REALLY lays the snow upon us! NOT!!!

I’m with Tom. Color me NOT IMPRESSED. Not even amused.
Color me disappointed. Of course it has not happened yet, but I am not getting good vibes.
Forgot to post this last night, forgive me!

WBZ radio announcer this morning:
“We are NOW in the middle of winter!”
I could’ve sworn winter began yesterday. Did I miss something??

I think the GFS is overdone, but knowing the temps are very marginal inside 495, here is the snow depth change map.

Thanks TK.
Heading to Central Maine Wednesday. White Xmas pretty much a guarantee annually up there.
This system looks very robust up in Augusta and coastal Maine area. Saw a Winter Storm Watch was posted.
