DAYS 1-5 (DECEMBER 17-21)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A warm front passing by early this morning brings showers to an end by mid morning and sets up a mild day, despite a cold front passing through the midday hours. The cold front will have no more than a few isolated showers with it, so the general trend will be for dry with the return of sun. Clear, cooler (not too cold) for tonight as a narrow area of high pressure moves in. The next low pressure system tracks our way from the Midwest in rapid fashion on Wednesday, passing through the region at night with rain (maybe some wet snow in elevated areas to the north and northwest). This ends early Thursday followed by a clearing trend and the return of colder air, which will steadily overtake the region heading into late week. At this point we watch the evolution of low pressure to our south, off the Mid Atlantic Coast. The weather pattern likely carries the bulk of this system out to sea, but it may be close enough to throw its precipitation shield up into southeastern portions of our region Friday afternoon and Friday night. This will be in the form of snow if it occurs except rain or snow for Cape Cod. Additionally, a feed of colder air with a northeast wind both Friday and into Saturday will promote ocean-effect snow shower chances for parts of the MA coast (Cape Ann, South Shore). The coldest air of the season so far arrives just in time for the Winter Solstice (4:20 a.m. Saturday).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 6-10 (DECEMBER 22-26)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A weak disturbance can produce a few more snow showers on December 22. High pressure brings fair weather for the remainder of this period with temperatures starting below normal then recovering to near to above normal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (DECEMBER 27-31)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A Pacific air flow will bring milder air to wrap up December and the year, but indications are that weather systems will be weak with mostly fair weather and just a couple minor precipitation threats.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
