DAYS 1-5 (DECEMBER 25-29)
A cold front passes through today and brings the chance of a few snow showers (rain or snow showers south of Boston where temperatures are more marginal). A colder air mass arrives behind this for Friday and Saturday. A clipper low will come along and deliver a minor snow event late Friday to midday Saturday, with the best chance of accumulation snow to the southwest of Boston. This will be followed by a break, before the next low pressure area tracks north of our area and brings a mix to rain event Sunday night into Monday. There may be some icing involved in that system but details need to be worked out.
TODAY (CHRISTMAS DAY): Variably cloudy. Chance of a passing snow shower in the morning except mix/rain shower Cape Cod midday. An additional passing snow flurry is possible in the afternoon mainly north of I-90. Highs 35-42. W to NW 10-20 MPH.
TONIGHT: Clouds decrease. Lows 12-19. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.
FRIDAY: Clouds increase. Highs 22-29. Wind N 5-15 MPH.
FRIDAY NIGHT: Cloudy. Light snow develops. Lows 15-22 evening, rising slowly overnight. Wind variable to NE under 10 MPH.
SATURDAY: Cloudy with some light snow in the morning, favoring Boston south and west. Partial clearing afternoon. Highs 24-31. Wind NE up to 10 MPH.
SATURDAY NIGHT: Clearing. Lows 16-23. Wind variable up to 10 MPH.
SUNDAY: Increasing clouds. Highs 32-39. Wind variable up to 10 MPH.
SUNDAY NIGHT: Cloudy. Snow/mix/rain potential. Lows 30-37 then a slow temperature rise. Wind SE 5-15 MPH.
MONDAY: Cloudy with a chance of rain in the morning. Breaking clouds in the afternoon. Highs 38-45. Wind variable to SW 5-15 MPH becoming W 10-20 MPH with higher gusts in the afternoon.

Thanks, TK.
TK and to everyone else, Merry Christmas!
So yes, contrary to what was mentioned on the previous post comments section…
Saturday is not a miss. It’s not a major snow event. It was never expected to be. There will be areas that see very little snowfall from it. This is the nature of a system in a dry environment that has a low center passing to the south. There is NO REASON WHATSOEVER that it’s a “miss, because it would have been snow”. That is just simply NOT the case. I have said this now so many times…
The idea of snow missing and rain hitting on a routine basis is a false notion.
Thanks TK !

Hopefully the trends hold for my area of CT for a nice solid 4-8 inch snowfall.
First of the 12z runs HRRR. Sorry eastern SNE snow lovers as not much in the way of snowfall.
