DAYS 1-5 (DECEMBER 13-17)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A cold front crosses the region later today with a few snow showers possible in the region, favoring southern NH and northern MA. Otherwise, we stay in a dry pattern into the coming weekend. The coldest day of this stretch will be Thursday, and a moderation will follow. When we get to Sunday, we’ll be watching low pressure down the Atlantic Coast. Guidance is in good agreement that a large low pressure system will get going down there, but the details of its evolution are a little fuzzy still. My early idea is for a system that matures pretty far south and while the primary low sits down there longer, it sends a plume of moisture up the coast and that will be our best chance of getting some rainfall up here. Based on moderate confidence current timing I’d expect this to be late Sunday. (More in the 6-10 day section.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TODAY: Sunny start, then a sun\/cloud mix. A passing snow shower possible this afternoon, especially north of I-90. Highs 36-43. Wind W 5-15 MPH, higher gusts, shifting to NW by late in the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TONIGHT: Partly cloudy early with a brief snow shower possible, mainly northern MA and southern NH, then clearing. Lows 21-28. Wind WNW 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
THURSDAY: Sunny to partly cloudy. Highs 32-39. Wind W 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
THURSDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 15-22. Wind W up to 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
FRIDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 42-49. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
FRIDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 23-30. Wind SW up to 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SATURDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 44-51. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SATURDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 27-34. Wind W under 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SUNDAY: Increasing clouds. Chance of rain late-day or night. Highs 45-52. Wind SE 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 6-10 (DECEMBER 18-22)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While there is uncertainty in the eventual evolution of low pressure on the East Coast, and some guidance showing a vastly different scenario, my early meteorological opinion is that the broad low pressure system will be shunted eastward after the initial push of wet weather goes by our area. This would lead to a return to dry and seasonable to mild weather for much of next week. Not a high-confidence forecast, but the leaning at this time, and to be updated as things become more clear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (DECEMBER 23-27)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fairly dry, seasonable to mild pattern leading up to about Christmas. Possible unsettled weather late in the period. White Christmas chances are lower than climatology for southeastern New England in the expected pattern, but will watch for any “surprises”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
