DAYS 1-5 (DECEMBER 4-8)
\nHigh pressure provides a nice December day to round out the first weekend of the final month of 2016. Winds which were brisk during the morning will relax during the afternoon. Things change quick around here, and clouds will sneak in tonight ahead of a weak area of low pressure that will pass just south of the region Monday, bringing a period of generally light precipitation, falling as mostly snow north and west of Boston, snow to mix\/rain Boston area south. Look for minor snow accumulation (details below). Another slightly stronger low pressure area will approach Tuesday night and move into the region Wednesday but will be weakening as it does this, and with a little milder air in place, this one will be mostly mix\/rain. Another low will try to form nearby Thursday. If it does so quickly enough, a period of rain to snow cannot be ruled out, but I believe it will evolve just far enough east to really bring just rain and snow showers to the region as colder air arrives.
\nTODAY: Sunny. Highs 37-44. Wind N 5-15 MPH with higher gusts, diminishing gradually.
\nTONIGHT: Increasing clouds. Snow arrives southwestern NH and central MA pre-dawn. Lows 22-27 except 28-33 immediate coast. Wind light variable.
\nMONDAY: Cloudy through mid afternoon with snow north and west of Boston amounting to a coating to 2 inches, greatest in higher elevations of north central MA to southwestern NH including Worcester and Fitchburg MA and Jaffrey NH. Snow\/mix likely turning to rain from Boston\/Providence southeastward with little or no accumulation. Clouds break late-day especially west of Boston. Highs 35-42. Wind variable 5-15 MPH shifting to N late.
\nMONDAY NIGHT: Slow clearing. Watch for icy patches on untreated surfaces. Lows 23-32. Wind light N to NW.
\nTUESDAY: Increasing clouds. Highs 40-48. Wind light variable.
\nWEDNESDAY: Cloudy with light mix\/rain. Lows 30-38. Highs 38-45.
\nTHURSDAY: Mostly cloudy with rain\/snow showers. Lows 32-40. Highs 40-48 but may turn much colder late.<\/p>\n
