DAYS 1-5 (DECEMBER 23-27)…
\nThe warmth has been the story of December 2015, and will continue to be front and center for the next few days, which includes what will be a record warm Christmas Eve and a very mild Christmas Day too. Before that, a warm front will push northward toward the region today, bringing additional rain. Some of this rain may be heavy, impacting the evening commute and shopping trips. This rain will lead the warmest push into the region tonight and Thursday (Christmas Eve). Does someone see a 70 degree high on Thursday. Most areas will likely remain below that, but it is not out of the question entirely. In addition, we’ll see pretty high dewpoints for this time of year, so it will feel rather humid. A cold front will charge across the region Thursday evening, but it looks like most of the support for showers and possible thunderstorms will be in southwestern New England, leaving only a minor risk of activity across the balance of central and eastern MA, southern NH, and RI. A small bubble of high pressure will move in for Christmas Day Friday but the front will not be that far to the south, so some cloudiness may linger, and it will be mild, though not as warm as Thursday. That front will start to edge back to the north and be an avenue for low pressure waves that will bring some unsettled weather at times over the weekend, though I’m not looking for any significant storminess.
\nTODAY: Partial sun possible morning otherwise mostly cloudy. Cloudy afternoon with numerous rain showers arriving south to north. Highs 50-58. Wind light N shifting to E.

DAYS 6-10 (DECEMBER 28-JANUARY 1)…
\nDry, windy, colder December 28 as a cold high pressure area moves across eastern Canada. Low pressure from the west brings wet weather December 29 which may start as snow or mix as cold air hangs around briefly. Fair weather returns December 31 and lasts through the first day of 2016 with temperatures not as anomalously warm as previous days – averaging near to slightly above normal.<\/p>\n
DAYS 11-15 (JANUARY 2-6)…
\nStill leaning toward a mostly dry pattern, not as warm as many of the December days as we get into more seasonably chilly pattern for a time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
