DAYS 1-5 (DECEMBER 13-17)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The next 5 days will continue our pattern of frequently passing weather systems as nothing hangs around in this fast-flowing jet stream set-up. Today will be a dry day but will start with an abundance of high level cloud cover (which gave a great sunrise for many areas in case you missed it) as warmer air moves in above us. These clouds will move out with sun taking over as the day goes on, and it will be a little milder and less breezy than yesterday was. A cold front quietly crosses the region tonight, and it’s a good thing it will struggle to produce even any clouds, because tonight we peak the Geminid Meteor Shower, which should put on a decent show despite some moonlight interference for the first part of the night. Tuesday, high pressure builds into eastern Canada and sends a slightly cooler by dry northern air flow into our region while the front that just went by comes to a stop to our south. This front will then make its way back northward Wednesday in response to the next approaching area of low pressure. This low’s track is destined for the Great Lakes and into southeastern Canada, so once again we’ll get into the warm sector behind the warm front and ahead of a cold front trailing from the low. Before that happens, a period of precipitation is possible Wednesday night \/ early Thursday, mostly rain, but across the hills of far north central MA and into southern NH some icing and even a bit of snow may occur as the air will be colder there. Any icing that does occur will not last long as we warm to the 50s regionwide Thursday. We may see a 60 degree reading in a few locations, so that will be the top range on my temperature forecast. Regardless, the warm-up is to be short-lived, as the aforementioned cold front will come through here with a band of rain showers Thursday night, returning us to cool but dry weather Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 6-10 (DECEMBER 18-22)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The overall pattern remains one with frequent, fast-moving systems. Overall storm track starts to shift more to the south with some more variety of precipitation types possible in what will probably be two low pressure systems to impact the region during this period. The first one will likely be December 18 (the first part of the coming weekend) with a variety of precipitation possible. Too early to time any subsequent precipitation threats at this point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (DECEMBER 23-27)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At least one more low pressure area may impact the region with a precipitation threat (increased risk of frozen precipitation being involved) with a colder trend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
