DAYS 1-5 (DECEMBER 19-23)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The rain is gone, the mild air has made its exit, colder air is on the way, and there’s snow on the way for most of the region. First, the wave of low pressure that brought a brief but decent slug of rain to the region has exited to the east and we’re in for a fair weather day with a sun\/cloud mix. This morning, some temperatures away from the immediate coast and urban areas have fallen close enough to freezing so that lingering wet ground may have converted to black ice on some surfaces, so use caution if heading out early until the temperature can rise sufficiently to eliminate that hazard. Otherwise – a nice day today! But changes come quickly. On Friday, low pressure organized off the Mid Atlantic Coast as high pressure filters cold air in from the north. The low pressure area will pass close enough to southeastern New England Friday night to throw its precipitation shield across much of the region. This will result in a period of accumulating snow, which will be least well northwest of Boston due to further distance and lighter precipitation amounts. A mix with rain over Cape Cod will be a limiting factor there. Between these areas, a general 1 to 3 inches snowfall appears quite probable. I can’t rule out enough synoptic “boosting” and\/or ocean enhancement to produce a few pockets above 3 inches. A more definite call on that will appear in tomorrow’s update. As low pressure pulls away it’ll pull in an arctic air mass for the weekend. Saturday can see additional snow showers as a disturbance at high levels drifts through. This day will also be rather breeze behind the departing low pressure area. High pressure will bring more tranquil weather Sunday, which continues Monday as well. The winter solstice occurs at 4:20 a.m. Saturday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
