DAYS 1-5 (DECEMBER 12-16)
\nWe start the week with a weak but somewhat significant system, weak in terms of its strength, but significant in terms of its impact on the morning commute, as snow will be in the process of transitioning to rain from south to north across the region, with a period of freezing rain over north central MA and southern NH for a while. The snow is expected to have accumulated less than 1 inch across far southeastern MA, southern RI, and the immediate coast of eastern MA, with 1-3 inches in the I-95 belt, 2-4 inches in the I-495 belt, and 3-6 inches from north central MA into southwestern and south central NH. By midday and afternoon it’s a done deal and the sky will be clearing for tonight’s Monday Night Football game in Foxboro between the Patriots and Ravens. In fact, with not too much cold air behind the storm, it won’t be all that bad for player and spectators. Expected dry weather Tuesday with a seasonable chill, then changes start to take place. Wednesday, a storm system will develop but should pass south of the region. We’ll have to watch for a period of cloudiness and perhaps a little snow\/mix near the South Coast, but for now going with the idea of it staying too far south. This storm system will turn more to the north once by the region and combine with another low into a stronger system in the Canadian Maritimes, helping to drag down some very cold air for Thursday and Friday. A couple disturbances may result in snow showers\/squalls Thursday afternoon and night. Expect a lot of wind as well on Thursday and Friday.
\nTODAY: Overcast into afternoon with rain southern MA\/RI\/CT and snow transitioning to rain northern MA into southern NH but with a period of sleet and freezing rain possible north central MA into interior southern NH, then rain ending from west to east midday and early afternoon. Breaking clouds late day. Highs 38-46 late-day. Wind variable under 10 MPH becoming W 5-15 MPH.
\nTONIGHT: Clearing. Patchy black ice on untreated surfaces. Lows 23-31. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
\nTUESDAY: Partly cloudy. Highs 34-42. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
\nTUESDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 22-30. Wind SW 5-10 MPH.
\nWEDNESDAY: Mostly cloudy southeastern areas morning, otherwise partly cloudy. Highs 33-41. Wind W 10-20 MPH.
\nTHURSDAY: Variably cloudy. Scattered snow showers\/squalls. Windy. Temperatures fall through the 20s.
