Happy Thanksgiving to all of you!<\/p>\n
DAYS 1-5 (NOVEMBER 28-DECEMBER 2)
\nIf you’re an early riser on this Thanksgiving morning, especially in eastern areas, you woke up to rainy conditions. That is a lobe of energy traveling southeastward across the area, one the bridge between an old low pressure system to our northwest and a newly developed low that formed and triggered showers and even some thunderstorms over the region last night and is now in the process of turning into a powerhouse storm as it moves away via the Gulf of Maine. As the storm pulls away today and high pressure starts to nose southward from eastern Canada we will set up a gusty north to northwest wind, delivering chilly air. That air is dry and will help push the early wet weather away during the morning and midday, with just a few lingering rain or snow showers possible for any road races and football games. The chilly, dry, breezy weather will continue for Friday and into Saturday as well. And so ends November. When December arrives, we’ll get early practice on tracking a storm that includes some frozen precipitation. No we’re not about to open December with a big snowstorm, but we will have cold air in place as a broad precipitation shield from approaching low pressure arrives late Sunday or Sunday night, and some areas north and west of Boston will see some accumulating snow before warm enough air gets involved to change it to mixed precipitation or rain. Areas closer to the city and to the southeast may start briefly as snow or mix then go right to rain. While this low pressure area will track just south of the region, at this time of year the ocean water, and in this case the upper air, will be too warm to support snow for long over most of the region. However, any unsettled weather can have some impact on people traveling back into the area or heading back to colleges after the Thanksgiving break.

DAYS 6-10 (DECEMBER 3-7)
\nLow pressure to the east, high pressure to the northwest means a gusty breezy with dry and chilly weather December 3. But a west to east pattern moves things along and the next system threatens the region with some rain\/snow later December 4 to early December 5, but the early trend is for this system to evolve too far offshore for a significant impact. After that threat, dry and chilly weather is expected<\/p>\n
DAYS 11-15 (DECEMBER 8-12)
\nGeneral west to east flow. Dry weather should dominate in the December 8-10 time frame with unsettled weather (rain or snow threat) later in the period (December 11-12).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
