Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow

We're still dry through Christmas Eve, but after midnight tonight... all dry bets are off as light snow starts flying by daybreak Christmas.  That snow drops through Christmas morning, tapers off to flurries by the afternoon with even a few breaks of sun possible near day's end north and west.  Overall, I'm not expecting a big storm, but one that could blanket many of us in southern New England with 1-2".  Although a few heavier pockets of snow will allow for  localized 3" amounts across the higher terrain in Worcester County and the Berkshires.   South of Boston, there's a winter weather advisory in place since a touch of freezing rain may mix in with the snow tomorrow morning, creating some slick spots.  Through the Cape/Islands, it may be rain, and that lowers the white Christmas chance there. For the latest thinking on who has the best chance to see snow, click on the "special map" under the weather section of the website.  

We have bigger fish to fry Wednesday night and Thursday as a storm rides up the eastern United States. This one has the potential for at least a half a foot to a foot of snow where it's all snow, lots of wind and lots of rain so it bears watching.  Right now, it does look more wet than white for many of us, but north and west of 495, we could see significant snow/sleet as the cold air is tough to scour out.   One thing that I'm confident is, is ski country doing well with this one as many resorts see the white gold over this Christmas vacation week.

Another storm is in the cards by next Sunday, this one could be a big one too, and indications are, the track favors a colder solution and more snow.  Still 6 days out, so plenty of time to track that... Enjoy hanging out with the family the next few days and Merry Christmas!

Summ-ah!

With the snap of the fingers we were thrown into summer this afternoon. Heat, humidity, A/C and shorts - with a hazy sun to boot. But with the sea breeze knocking back the temperatures (and bringing in a round of downpours this evening), there are changes afoot.

Feet First

Right into summer. Warm & humid weather expected for much of the week. Good?.....Well, keep in mind that warmth & humidity are the 2 key ingredients for thunderstorms. The last being something to *lift* that warm/humid air. Usually a front is a good device to do such that. Today, we will have a cool front approach New England very late in the day & evening. That may lead to an isolated storm or two after 4pm but most towns just have a fair amount of clouds, warmth & humidity. Temps will climb to near 80 by afternoon.

Warming Up and Unsettled

Well, it certainly was a great weekend weather-wise until this afternoon when the temps dropped and light showers moved in from west to east.  Despite the cool down, the theme for this upcoming week is warmer with higher humidity.  It'll also be unsettled at times. 

Pulling The Fade

Our fun in the sun ends this afternoon as morning sunshine fades behind thickening clouds.  As those clouds increase, a few showers break out this afternoon from west to east, with the highest chance for rain late afternoon and this evening.  Most of the showers are light, especially the early afternoon ones, but a heavier shower or two is possible near day's end and early this evening.  Highs reach the mid to upper 60s around noon, then fall back to near 60 mid to late afternoon thanks to scattered showers.  These showers are brought to us by a warm front.
