DAYS 1-5 (DECEMBER 17-21)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The WHW forecast area continues to be impacted by a winter storm, dumping a good amount of snow on much of the region, with a bit less to the southeast due to wetter snow, and even less on parts of the outer part of Cape Cod and over the Islands due to a change to rain there . The mix\/rain areas will see a flip back to snow before the end of the precipitation, and areas that had rain and wetter snow will experience a quick freeze-up when the cold air returns during the midday and afternoon hours today. There is also a drier slot with less or even no snow falling in the Merrimack Valley through parts of central MA. These areas will see additional snowfall though as a heavier band to the north and west rotates back through while weakening. Eventually all of the snow will move out from west to east, ending with accumulation with most areas somewhere in the expected ranges. Tonight comes clearing and mid winter cold, despite it still being autumn. Colder than normal but dry weather will dominate Friday and Saturday. Sunday will see slight temperature moderation but also some cloudiness and the possibility of snow and rain showers as a weak low passes by. Following this should be weak high pressure with a dry, seasonable Monday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TODAY: Overcast with snow except mix\/rain South Coast and Cape Cod for a while before changing to snow by midday from west to east.
