DAYS 1-5 (DECEMBER 20-24)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A weak area of low pressure passes through the region during today with lots of clouds and some rain and snow shower activity, rain showers favoring Cape Cod & coastal areas with snow showers favoring inland spots. Other than the risk of brief coatings of snow, this will have very little impact. Another low pressure area will develop on an offshore frontal boundary on Monday but should scoot just southeast and east of New England, a fairly close shave though, with some cloudiness and even a chance of a period of rain on Cape Cod. Meanwhile, another area of energy will be diving through the Great Lakes and while not able to catch up to the offshore storm in time to give it a shot of energy, it should bring some mix\/snow shower activity to our area on Tuesday. I’m still hopeful that we’ll have just enough clear sky between these systems to be able to view the great conjunction of Jupiter & Saturn in the southwestern sky at dusk Monday. When we get to midweek, high pressure to the west brings fair and cold weather Wednesday, then slides offshore with moderation on Thursday, Christmas Eve. The next system to the west likely holds off so that dry weather will also be expected for Santa’s visit later Thursday night…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 6-10 (DECEMBER 25-29)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A frontal boundary with a couple low pressure areas on it will bring unsettled weather to the region for Christmas Day, December 25, but the exact evolution and behavior of this system is somewhat in question. Current thinking is a brief shot of mild air and rather short-lived period of rain showers for the morning, followed by a sharp temperature drop with a shifting wind and a chance of snow showers. Fair, chilly weather expected for December 26-28 and then a risk of a wintry weather threat to end the period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (DECEMBER 30 \u2013 JANUARY 3)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Low confidence forecast but current idea is for fair and tranquil weather for the last couple days of 2020 before a quick-moving system brings some unsettled weather to greet 2021, followed by a shot of colder, dry weather.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
