DAYS 1-5 (DECEMBER 18-22)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A weak area of low pressure skirts just south of the South Coast later today through early Sunday. This will give us a minor precipitation event, snow to start out for many (except rain Cape Cod and immediate South Coast), with a rain\/snow line progressing northward from the South Coast and westward from the eastern shores as time goes along. There will be some sleet in the mix\/change area, as well as some potential freezing rain pockets especially in central MA where temperatures may sit just below freezing. This system exits early Sunday followed by fair but colder weather as high pressure moves into the region. This high will sit right over us Sunday night (coldest night of the season so far) and Monday with fair and cold conditions. The high shifts to the south with a tiny moderation in temperature Tuesday, before a cold front slips down from the northwest and turns it a little colder again by midweek. We’ll have to keep an eye on the evolution of low pressure to the south and east of New England by later Wednesday as it could end up close enough to bring a snow shower threat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TODAY: Cloudy. Scattered snow\/sleet\/rain South Coast and a few snow showers southern NH and northern MA this morning. Steadier precipitation as mostly rain South Coast \/ Cape Cod, snow elsewhere eventually mixing with and changing to sleet and rain with pockets of freezing rain interior areas (mostly west of I-495). Snow accumulation under 1 inch immediate coastal areas, 1-2 inches away from the coast except 2-4 inches north central MA through interior southern NH Highs 32-37 inland, 38-43 coast. Wind NE 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
