DAYS 1-5 (NOVEMBER 26-30)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Time marches on. Thanksgiving is done. Black Friday has come, and so has a low pressure area, passing to the north, dragging a cold front through. This front will cause some rainfall this morning, but as it passes and cold air begins to rush in behind it, low pressure will form on the boundary just to our east, moving rapidly into the Gulf of Maine while intensifying. This will result in a wrap-around moisture area that will fall into air that is becoming cold enough to support frozen precipitation, maybe some sleet initially, but mainly snow, and one or two bands of that will likely come across southern NH and at least central and eastern MA during the early evening hours, possibly resulting in some minor accumulation, especially on unpaved surfaces. But if a snow burst is heavy enough we will have to watch for a quick accumulation on paved \/ cement surfaces as well which can cool rather quickly. Even without accumulation, wet ground is vulnerable to quick freezing where it does not have a chance to dry off from the wind even after the system departs and we are just windy, cold, and dry overnight. These will all be things to keep in mind if you need to travel for work, visits, or shopping today, or just want to be out taking a walk, because like me you’d walk in any kind of weather. \ud83d\ude09 The new storm will be well beyond the region by morning, but will serve, in combination with high pressure approaching from the west, to cause blustery and cold but dry conditions Saturday. On Sunday, as the high pressure area moves closer, while still being quite chilly it will be less windy and easier to be outside. After Saturday has a few passing low level fair weather cumulus clouds, Sunday’s sky will display some high and mid level clouds streaming in ahead of our next unsettled weather threat. This will consist of a low pressure area (clipper-type system) coming from south central Canada into the southern Great Lakes then heading for NY State while a weak secondary low forms off the northern Mid Atlantic and just south of New England. This will be a fast-moving system, and not that strong, so its impact will be minimal, though it will be cold enough for the precipitation to fall as snow in at least parts of the region, with a little better chance for mix\/rain right on the coast and especially over southeastern MA, possibly ending as snow. This will be followed by a dry and cold day to end November on Tuesday…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 6-10 (DECEMBER 1-5)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
West northwest flow dominates the early days of December with somewhat variable temperatures averaging near to below normal in our region. Weak disturbances may bring a couple episodes of clouds and a few rain\/snow showers, but hard to time these this far in advance. Either way, most of the time the weather will be fair in this pattern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (DECEMBER 6-10)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A little more west to southeasterly air flow at upper levels and a little more activity in the jet stream means that precipitation chances go up during this period. Temperatures variable, near normal overall.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
