DAYS 1-5 (DECEMBER 22-26)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Drying air eliminates any patchy fog early today and then we will see a sun\/cloud mix as an upper level disturbance crosses the region, but with only a minimal chance of a passing snow flurry. This system will result mainly a shot of chilly air with gusty winds developing. It will remain cold but become more tranquil Wednesday as high pressure crosses the region. This high shifts offshore and allows temperatures to moderate on Christmas Eve as a low pressure area heads northeastward into southeastern Canada via the Great Lakes. The strong cold front trailing from this low will develop a wave of low pressure over the Appalachians which will move through NY in the early hours of Christmas Day and whip the front through the region with a short period of rain showers and very mild air, then a quick temperature drop behind it with drying weather and just a chance of a few snow showers surviving the trip from the Great Lakes region. Look for a chilly and breezy but dry Saturday between low pressure in the Canadian Maritimes and high pressure in the Appalachians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
