DAYS 1-5 (DECEMBER 2-6)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’s now the “day-of” the long-talked-about storm threat, which all along has not really looked like that big a deal. Basically there are no changes to what I said yesterday. So basically reiterating, a dual system passing by our region today and tonight consists of a weakening northern system and a strengthening system to the south, the latter of which has a low center that takes over the action as it passes to our south, intensifying, but not at a very rapid rate. Also working with marginal temperatures in place, and the warming influence of the ocean, this system will have a rain\/snow line that is mainly north and west of Boston for most of its duration, starting out in the northwest suburbs closer to the city at the onset of precipitation during the mid morning to midday hours, then moving more to the northwest through the time of the low pressure area’s closest pass, before being pulled back to the southeast as the storm begins to move away from the region, with the rain\/snow line likely reaching Metro Boston just as the precipitation begins its taper-off process. Additionally, prior to all of this, an initial southerly air flow and a little convergence is creating a band of mix\/rain showers in parts of RI and east central MA that will fade by mid morning. This is an indicator of the milder air at the surface which is going to prevent much of any snow from occurring over the South Coast \/ MA South Shore areas. Snow amounts forecasts haven’t changed and will be reflected again in the detailed forecast section below. Once this storm exits, a quick chill-down will create icy untreated surfaces late tonight into Wednesday morning, so be careful if traveling (by foot or vehicle) during this time. Daytime Wednesday I expect dry, breezy, chilly weather behind the storm system. Still watching for the timing and potential rain and snow showers \/ squalls with the passage of a sharp cold front later Thursday. Leaning toward a late afternoon snow shower or potential squall in areas north and west of Boston and an evening snow or rain shower with more marginal temps to the south. This front will usher in a very cold air mass for early December, with well-below-normal temperatures, dry weather, and a gusty wind for Friday. A weak low pressure area and trough extending to the north of it will pass by Friday night and Saturday morning with a bit of light snow possible, and a secondary trough may cause a snow flurry later Saturday as well, but that system looks rather benign at this point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TODAY: Overcast. Precipitation arrives prior to midday north and west of Boston, around midday Boston southward \u2013 snow to potential mix I-495 to I-90 north and west, snow\/mix to rain I-95 belt, mainly rain but can start as brief mix Boston south. Highs 33-40 except 40-47 Cape Cod \/ Islands. Wind NE 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TONIGHT: Precipitation ending followed by overnight clearing. Expected snow totals generally a trace to 1 inch I-95 belt with closest to 1 inch most likely inland, 1 to 3 inches interior southern NH and I-495 \/ I-90 region west from I-495 westward, 3 to 6 inches higher elevations Worcester County to interior southern NH, with isolated 6+ amounts at highest elevations. Lows 22-30. Wind shifting to NW 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 6-10 (DECEMBER 7-11)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Watching for a couple systems to pass through or near the region with mostly minor precipitation threats (snow favored over rain) as temperatures stay mostly below normal during this period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (DECEMBER 12-16)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another one or two systems can threaten with rain\/mix\/snow but early indications are for no major storms. Temperatures trend milder into mid month as the main storm track shifts to the Great Lakes for these systems.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
