DAYS 1-5 (DECEMBER 30 – JANUARY 3)
We’re down to the final 2 days of 2025, and they will be cold ones. Today will be the windiest one as we’re under the back side of the circulation around a monster storm in Atlantic Canada. This was the system that brought us the unsettled weather yesterday. Today it brings us a strong wind, dry weather, and a chill, made more stinging by the wind. We’ll remain under the influence of the upper level trough that helped develop that storm into midweek. As we get ready to greet the coming year, a trough coming around the south side of the upper low will bring us some light snow or snow showers in the early hours of the first day of 2026. We should get through the evening hours and the count-down on Wednesday night without much happening, and winds by then will be lighter, although it will still be cold. Once the disturbance moves beyond our region Thursday, we’ll have a return of dry weather with continued cold into late week.
TODAY: Sun/cloud mix. Highs 25-32. Wind W 15-25 MPH, frequent gusts 25-35 MPH, occasional gusts 35-55 MPH – strongest in higher elevations of southwestern NH and central MA.
TONIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 13-20. Wind W 10-20 MPH, gusts 25-35 MPH.
WEDNESDAY: Partly cloudy. Highs 27-34. Wind W 5-15 MPH, gusts around 20 MPH.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Partly to mostly cloudy. Snow showers or occasional light snow overnight – generally after midnight. Lows 13-20. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
THURSDAY (NEW YEAR’S DAY): Partly sunny. Morning snow showers possible. Highs 24-31. Wind W to NW 10-20 MPH.
THURSDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 11-18. Wind NW 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.
FRIDAY: Partly cloudy. Highs 22-29. Wind NW 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.
FRIDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 11-18. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
SATURDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 25-32. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
DAYS 6-10 (JANUARY 4-8)
Watching January 5-6 for a clipper low potential and the very end of the period for the potential for a more formidable low pressure threat. The first one would most likely bring a light snow threat. With medium range uncertainty I cautiously lean toward a track mostly south of our region for the second threat.
DAYS 11-15 (JANUARY 9-13)
Variable temperatures averaging around normal. Dry weather favored to start. Precipitation threat increases later period.
Thanks TK
Pattern looks awfully quiet over the next two weeks. Cold and dry with a few minor chances.
Ho hum, Wordle in 4, feeling sad about how little of this forecast is relevant to me anymore…

First of the 12z runs for the system New Year’s Eve night into New Year’s Day. NY with an opportunity to add to it’s 3 inch lead over BOS . I am hoping this holds as I would be waking up to a 1-2 inch snowfall on New Year’s morning.
12z HRRR

Interesting. Getting juicier!!!
From Meteorologist Mike Masco
NYE/NYD clipper likely brings light snow region-wide with redevelopment potential toward Boston.
