“Halcyon Days” are defined as a stretch of chilly & quiet weather in late Autumn or early Winter. With high pressure dominating this will be the case for the next 5 days. It won’t be completely clear though as some high clouds fan across the southern sky and a few low clouds cross Cape Cod today from the influence of a wave of low pressure on the recently passed frontal system offshore. Another reinforcing cold front dropping down from the north late Friday night or early Saturday may also bring a few clouds with it, otherwise it’s quiet for a while.<\/p>\n
There are increasing signs of a change in the weather pattern back to that of November, that is, chilly and dry. But let me caveat this by saying “dry” does not mean zero precipitation. It means below average precipitation. In fact, there is a chance of precipitation Sunday, and it may very well be snow for a good portion of the area. At this far-away stage it does not, however, look like a big storm. Just some snow that may be put down as we enter the final 10 days before Christmas. Stay tuned as this comes into focus in the days ahead.<\/p>\n
