DAYS 1-5 (DECEMBER 18-22)
\nA piece of arctic air comes across New England today on gusty northwest winds under a bright but low angle sun mixed with clouds as we approach the winter solstice, which will occur Friday late-day and during weather much different than what starts this 5-day forecast period. The transition from here to there will be rather tranquil as high pressure moves overhead Wednesday then offshore Thursday with moderating temperatures. Friday’s weather will resemble spring a little more than the first day of winter as we see low pressure track just west of the region, dragging some warm air with tropical moisture up the eastern seaboard. By Saturday, we’ll be getting a drying westerly wind but with cold air lagging it will still be mild.
