DAYS 1-5 (DECEMBER 12-16)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We’ve an active weather pattern on our hands and a few other things to talk about too! We start our weekend with the approach of a warm front which will lead to thickening cloud cover after much of the region starts the day with fog. Areas of rain will follow the thickening cloud cover, arriving from southwest to northeast later this morning through the afternoon hours. While it won’t likely rain the entire time, a few of the episodes may be moderate. The low pressure area parenting this warm front will track northwest of New England tonight and north of the region Sunday. The warm front will probably not get through the entire area, with northern MA and southern NH staying coolest through Saturday night. The cold front trailing this low pressure area will cross the region during Sunday morning (as a warm occlusion in areas that the warm front has not passed). This front may produce a few rain showers, but the balance of the day is expected to be rain-free and rather mild by December standards. A secondary cold front will sweep across the region behind the departing low from northwest to southeast Sunday night, delivering a batch of colder air to the region. Let’s hope for some clear sky Sunday evening as we experience the peak evening of the Geminid meteor shower, with up to 60 meteors per hour visible away from city lights. If the sky is clear enough, look into the east northeast sky between 8PM and 11PM for peak activity, radiating out from the left side of the Gemini Constellation. During Monday, a wave of low pressure will be moving rapidly east northeastward and will pass southeast of our area. Model guidance has trended a little further north with this system, and it may indeed have some impact on the region Monday, spreading its precipitation shield at the very least into southeastern portions of the forecast area. Will forecast a minor snow accumulation event for this and make adjustments if necessary on tomorrow morning’s blog update. Temperatures will be marginal for this event and rain will likely be involved as well, at least for parts of the region, if the precipitation shield does indeed make it far enough north. Regardless of the details, behind this system will come colder air as high pressure builds across eastern Canada. We’ll have dry weather Tuesday and at least into Wednesday as we eye the approach of another storm system that threatens the region with snow as early as Wednesday afternoon…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
