DAYS 1-5 (JANUARY 1-5)
Happy 2026! The first day of the year will start with some additional snowflakes in the area, the first batch having moved in last night and dropped a coating to a couple inches (least to the north, most to the south). Other than Cape Cod, that’s mostly off to the east now at dawn, but a band of snow showers, some moderate to heavy, is moving eastward through the region, and while it’s fairly narrow, it can reduce visibility significantly for anybody traveling early to mid morning from west to east across the region. This will be followed by a slow clearing trend and falling temperatures from west to east today. Cold and dry weather with a west to northwest air flow will then dominate our weather Friday into the weekend. On Sunday, low pressure will pass well south of our region, and a smaller disturbance moving along to its north can bring our region a few snow flurries. Another northern stream disturbance will approach our area later Monday with clouds moving in and the potential for some light snow later on.
TODAY (NEW YEAR’S DAY): Cloudy start with light snow exiting southeastern MA early, and a band of snow showers, some moderate to heavy, moving west to east across the region early to mid morning with additional accumulation of up to but mostly under 1/2 inch. Clearing / increasing sun west to east after. Highs 25-32 morning, falling slowly afternoon. Wind W to NW increasing to 10-20 MPH, gusty late-day.
TONIGHT: 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.
SATURDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 11-18. Wind NW up to 10 MPH.
SUNDAY: Sun / cloud mix. Chance of a snow flurry. Highs 24-31. Wind W up to 10 MPH.
SUNDAY NIGHT: Clearing. Lows 12-29. Wind NW up to 10 MPH.
MONDAY: Increasing clouds. Chance of light snow late. Highs 26-33. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
DAYS 6-10 (JANUARY 6-10)
Unsettled weather potentials January 6, 7, and late January 9-10. Light mix / snow favored for first episodes and mix / rain favored later in the period. No major storminess indicated. Temperatures somewhat variable but mostly near normal.
DAYS 11-15 (JANUARY 11-15)
Variable temperatures averaging around normal. While the pattern looks a little more active for precipitation, there are still no strong indications of major storminess.
Thanks TK. Happy New Year All! Getting ready for the snow squall arrival shortly.

Happy New Year!
I’m starting the Wordle Year by running on the track trying to grab onto the railing at the back of the caboose after failing. 🙂
Sorry to hear. I’LL throw you a line as I am close to the caboose.
31 here after low of 25.
Ocean; 43
Did someone say Ocean would not be below 47 by New Years?
Wordle: 5. Made mistake. Should have been 4.
Waiting on a bunch of 3s today.
SNOWING pretty good here, BUT NOTHING worthy of the snow squall WARNING notification on my phone thatcwoke me up!! Also, Barely any wind, NONE of the 35 mph from the warning.
YET, anyway
It’s not going to be every piece of real estate, but they need to warn.
Just talked to someone south of you with a whiteout.
Thanks TK !
Happy New Year everyone !
I didn’t want to set the bar too high for myself in this new year, Wordle: 6

No wonder that’s a pretty intense squall for eastern New England.
IMPRESSIVE!!!
I mean the satellite loop.
Looks like worst of the snow is passing Just South of my area.
Figures.

I can hardly see the house behind me right now. This is an intense squall.
Lucky you. Not so here. Just happy it’s snowing again.
No change here. Robust light snow at times bordering on moderate. No
Heavy snow. NO wind.
But, additional accumulation.
It’s puking snow as you like to say!
That’s a Hadi saying
Maybe a holy crap Batman.
Thank you, TK.
Happy New Year to all at WHW!
It’s a beautiful snow squall in downtown Boston right now. While it isn’t heavy snow per se it’s as heavy I’ve seen the snow fall in quite some time.
I do want to add that TK was telling us several days ago about these snow squalls that would arrive this morning. One of many reasons for me to rely on TK’s forecasting (and explanations) rather than so many others.
Happy New Year
Wordle yet to bed determined. I have 3 letters after four guesses. Two in correct place. And absolutely no clue. I may set the lowest bar.
Thank you TK. 23 up from 20. Just called in our total so far. 3.5 on the dot in SE Sutton
NOW IT is Heavy snow with plenty of wind!! Yay!!!!
Nice! Looks like we may get another thinner band shortly.
Thanks, TK. And a Happy New Year to you and everyone!
So far we have had only light snow, maybe an inch or so, but no wind or heavy snow – yet.
