DAYS 1-5 (DECEMBER 10-14)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not a lot of change needs to be made to the previously-posted outlook. Overnight, a little very light snow occurred in some areas, mostly north of I-90, but it was so light that you’d probably never know if you didn’t see it. Today’s abundant cloud cover is the result of the air warming above us. We’ll feel a tiny bit of that warming at the surface too in that the maximum temperatures today will be a few to several degrees higher than yesterday. Low pressure tracks from the Upper Midwest through the Great Lakes tonight through Saturday then onward across southeastern Canada Sunday. This track will put us in line for a warm frontal passage early Saturday with some rainfall, then a cold frontal passage with a line of convective showers (maybe some thunder) Saturday evening \/ night from west to east. Between the two fronts we will find ourselves in the warm sector with a gusty breeze. This system is similar to but a little less potent than the one we experienced back on Monday. Behind this will come cooler weather for Sunday along with a gusty wind but dry conditions. The large scale pattern will set-up with a ridge of high pressure building in the east central US as we head into early next week, but with the axis of this ridge far enough west and the core of it far enough south, this will leave our region in a more west northwesterly air flow and with dry weather, the warm-up we see will be modest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TODAY: Mostly cloudy. Highs 38-45. Wind E to SE under 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TONIGHT: Cloudy. Periods of rain overnight, with pockets of freezing rain possible over some locations away from the coast for a short time. Lows 30-37 evening, followed by a slow temperature rise overnight. Wind SE to S up to 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SATURDAY: Cloudy with periods of rain early to mid morning. Mostly cloudy to partly sunny late morning on. Highs 57-64. Wind S to SW increasing to 10-20 MPH with gusts above 25 MPH likely and gusts to around 40 MPH possible, especially South Coast and higher elevations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SATURDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. A shower, possibly heavy, including the slight chance of thunder and small hail, from west to east late evening to early overnight hours. Lows 38-45. Wind SW 10-20 MPH frequently gusting to 30 MPH and occasionally gusting stronger, shifting to W from west to east.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SUNDAY: Mostly cloudy to partly sunny. Temperatures steady 38-45. Wind W 10-20 MPH, higher gusts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SUNDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 22-29. Wind W 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
MONDAY: Sun\/cloud mix. Highs 42-49. Wind WNW 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
MONDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 23-30. Wind WNW 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TUESDAY: Partly sunny. Highs 44-51. Wind WNW 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 6-10 (DECEMBER 15-19)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Low pressure passes north of the region during the middle of next week while the upper ridge stays in place to the southwest of New England but extending across much of the region before slightly retrograding westward later next week. The resultant weather here based on the best-guess I can make after applying the uncertainty factor is that we see some clouds from a warm front passing by December 15, the “warmest” day December 16 ahead of a cold front that then cools us down for the end of next week, but with mostly fair weather expected. Although, we must be on the look-out for at least a weak disturbance somewhere around the December 18-19 weekend that the model guidance doesn’t “see” this far in advance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (DECEMBER 20-24)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fast flowing west-to-east pattern expected. While day-to-day details can’t be determined this far in advance, the trend is to be seasonably cool with at least one disturbance bringing a precipitation opportunity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
