DAYS 1-5 (DECEMBER 24-28)…
\nA very strong warm push of air has arrived and this will make for records on this Christmas Eve. A cold front will move into the region this evening, but the front will be weakening and only make a sluggish push offshore by Christmas Morning, taking temperatures down a few notches but leaving them still significantly above average for Christmas Day. A wave of low pressure on this front will bring unsettled weather back for a portion of the weekend before the front is driven south and cold air arrives from Canada by Monday.
\nTODAY: Starting overcast with patchy fog, areas of drizzle, and isolated rain showers. Eventual breaking clouds with partial sun possible, but still a risk of isolated rain showers. Rather humid. Record warmth – highs 60-72, coolest South Coast. Wind SW 5-15 MPH with higher gusts.
\nCHRISTMAS EVE: Variably cloudy. Risk of rain showers mainly south central MA to RI early. Lows 45-52. Wind W 10-20 MPH with higher gusts.
\nFRIDAY – CHRISTMAS DAY: Partly sunny. Highs 55-62. Wind W to variable 5-15 MPH.
\nSATURDAY: Increasing clouds. Risk of light rain at night. Lows 35-45. Highs 45-55.
\nSUNDAY: Cloudy. Risk of light rain early. Isolated rain showers late. Lows 35-45. Highs in the 50s.
\nMONDAY: Mostly sunny and windy. Lows in the 20s. Highs in the 30s.<\/p>\n
DAYS 6-10 (DECEMBER 29-JANUARY 2)…
\nLow pressure is likely to bring unsettled weather December 29. Current timing likely means that inland areas may start as mix\/snow with no more than brief mix coast before the system produces mainly rain. Lots of cloudiness may linger December 30-31 as a front is nearby, but any precipitation, likely light rain, should be limited if it occurs at all. Fair and colder weather is expected for the first couple days of 2016.<\/p>\n
DAYS 11-15 (JANUARY 3-7)…
\nStill leaning toward a pattern of more seasonably chilly and mainly dry weather for the early days of January 2016.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
