Merry Christmas to all who are celebrating it today!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 1-5 (DECEMBER 25-29)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A warm wind & rain for Christmas Morning 2020. We have had a variety of weather on Christmas Day over the years & decades – nothing unusual since we live in a part of the world that sees great variety. Hopefully the power outage issue will be as minimal as possible. Look for poor drainage and small stream flooding this morning due to the heavy rainfall, so be aware of that if traveling. As the rain gradually ends later today and wind backs off, we can be thankful that drying should take place for a number of hours before the temperatures drop below freezing, so we will avoid a flash freeze, but not necessarily some icy areas that will form eventually with any standing water and wet, untreated surfaces, so be aware of that later this evening and into Saturday morning. In addition, the advection of cold air from Canada via the Great Lakes will carry with it some remnant snow showers from lake-effect snows, and we may see some flakes flying at times tonight and Saturday, but not to worry – it won’t be an accumulation snow event. A few rivers may get near flood stage on Saturday, but should, for the most part, be able to handle the run off from rain and melting snow. Dry and cold weather is expected for Sunday as high pressure dominates. Early next week, our next unsettled weather threat times out for later Monday, but looks fairly benign, just a period of rain and possible snow showers as low pressure tracks north of the region. Behind it will come a shot of colder air with dry weather for Tuesday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 6-10 (DECEMBER 30 \u2013 JANUARY 3)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dry and seasonably chilly December 30 as high pressure dominates. Similar to this week, high pressure moves offshore for New Year’s Eve with moderating temperatures as low pressure heads for the St. Lawrence Valley, passing northwest of New England, bringing a chance of rain showers for the first day of 2021, followed by drier and colder weather January 2-3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (JANUARY 4-8)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Milder but unsettled weather expected January 4-5, details dependent on the track of low pressure moving through the Northeast. Drier\/colder January 6-7 then the next chance of unsettled weather comes at the end of the period.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
