DAYS 1-5 (DECEMBER 4-8)
\nOur 3-day winter storm now history, we re-enter a faster-moving weather pattern during this 5-day period with progressive systems moving generally west to east. Today, a trough crosses the region with clouds and a few snow showers. A dry but chilly northwesterly flow dominates on Thursday, a cold early December day. On Friday, the next system moves through. It will be a clipper low pressure system and its track will determine its impact here in southeastern New England. A track further north brings a few snow showers (rain showers south). A track further south brings a more widespread light snowfall. At this moment I’m leaning toward the track further south. Regardless of track, behind this system comes a brief shot of arctic air for Friday night and Saturday, coinciding with high school super bowl football games around the region. By Sunday, as a center of high pressure slides south of the region we’ll already see moderating temperatures, but also introduce more cloudiness. The forecast details…
\nTODAY: Mostly cloudy. Isolated to scattered snow showers. Highs 35-42. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.
\nTONIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Isolated snow showers. Lows 24-31. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
\nTHURSDAY: Partly cloudy. Highs 33-40. Wind NW 10-20 MPH.
\nTHURSDAY NIGHT: Clear. Lows 15-22. Wind N under 10 MPH.
\nFRIDAY: Clouding over. A period of snow probable. Highs 28-35. Wind NE up to 10 MPH.
\nFRIDAY NIGHT: Cloudy with a chance of snow showers early, then clearing. Lows 10-17. Wind N to NW 10-20 MPH. Wind chill below 10.
\nSATURDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 25-32. Wind NW 10-20 MPH. Wind chill below 20 at times.
\nSATURDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 15-22. Wind W 5-15 MPH. Wind chill near 10 at times.
\nSUNDAY: Increasing clouds. Highs 33-40. Wind W 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n
DAYS 6-10 (DECEMBER 9-13)
\nHigh pressure offshore and a trough to the west along with an approaching cold front with low pressure waves on it will result in milder air and rain showers December 9-10. The front will pass by with colder air arriving and a few possible snow showers December 11. A clipper type low pressure system may bring cloudiness and a risk of snow or snow showers later December 12 into December 13, but this part of the forecast is low confidence. <\/p>\n
DAYS 11-15 (DECEMBER 14-18)
\nGeneral west to east flow overall but mean ridge position off the East Coast and a minor amount of moisture from a very weak subtropical jet stream may bring a wet weather threat around mid period (favoring rain over snow). This should be the mildest stretch of the month, although not overly warm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
