DAYS 1-5 (DECEMBER 30 \u2013 JANUARY 3)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As we approach the end of 2022, we will experience a spell of mild weather thanks to a combination of a Pacific jet stream having flushed most of the cold air out of the US and high pressure to our south giving us a warming southwesterly air flow in contrast to the anomalous arctic delivery from southwest wind just about 1 week prior. We see fair weather today, but as we count down the final hours of 2022 and get ready to welcome 2023, we’ll have to deal with a low pressure and frontal system from the west bringing us some wet weather for New Year’s Eve and into part of New Year’s Day. This won’t be a heavy rain producer, but enough to put a damper in some of the outdoor celebrations and travel to and from New Years events. At least we won’t have to deal with any ice as our temperatures will be running quite above normal – maybe even challenging a few record high minimums for the first day of the year. The current record high mins for 1-1 are 48 at Boston, 45 at Hartford, 43 at Worcester, and 42 at Providence, all set in 1965. Drier air will return during the midday and afternoon hours of Sunday behind the departing system, and a shot of slightly cooler air, but still milder than normal, will be inbound for that night as well as Monday, with dry weather. Clouds return Tuesday as a warm front approaches ahead of low pressure heading for the Great Lakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 6-10 (JANUARY 4-8)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Warm sector weather as low pressure passes to the north of our area January 4 with very mild temperatures and a chance of rain showers. Cooling trend thereafter but only back toward normal as high pressure builds in eastern Canada and toward the Great Lakes while another high holds off the East Coast but gives ground with time. In between that, for our region, there can be additional unsettled weather with rain then some risk of mix\/snow before a series of disturbances depart the region late period. There will be a lot of fine-tuning to do as we get closer to this unsettled stretch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (JANUARY 9-13)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pattern should support closer to normal temperatures heading toward mid January with fair weather to start then a return to unsettled weather.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
