DAYS 1-5 (JANUARY 4-8)

Our pattern remains cold and for the most part dry, but we have a decent westerly air flow allowing some moisture to make its our way via the Great Lakes in the form of occasional cloudiness. Some of these clouds are capable of releasing snow showers, but most of them are just light flurries. This continues this weekend. Monday, a quick-moving low pressure area will pass just south of the region and I do not believe any of its snow shield will make it to New England. After a lighter northerly wind as that low goes by and interrupts the larger scale northwesterly air flow over us, the latter will return Tuesday and Wednesday with more cold and dry weather on tap.

TODAY / TONIGHT / SUNDAY: Partly cloudy. A few snow showers possible. Highs 27-34. Lows 12-19. Wind W 5-15 MPH with gusts over 20 MPH.

SUNDAY NIGHT: Increasing clouds. Lows 12-19. Wind NW to N up to 10 MPH.

MONDAY: Decreasing clouds. Highs 25-32. Wind N to NW 5-15 MPH.

MONDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 11-18. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.

TUESDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 23-30. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.

TUESDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 8-15. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.

WEDNESDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 24-31. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (JANUARY 8-13)

Cold and dry pattern. Suppressed storm track keeps snow threats to south, but one system may make a close pass around mid period so it’ll be watched for sneakiness.

DAYS 11-15 (JANUARY 14-18)

Cold continues, but storm track also edges closer with a potential storm threat evolving – nothing specific to detail this far in advance.

DAYS 1-5 (JANUARY 3-7)

The theme is cold and dry as we head through the first weekend of 2025 and into the first full week of the new year. A blocking pattern features a large low pressure circulation in Atlantic Canada and high pressure to the west, and New England in a cold northwesterly air flow, and this doesn’t change much at all. I’ve been eyeing the January 6-7 period for many days now to watch a low pressure area passing to our south, and it will definitely do that, and the closest it appears it can get is maybe to send a few snowflakes into the South Coast region Monday, if that. Beyond the opportunity for a passing snow shower wandering our way from around the Great Lakes today and tomorrow, and the aforementioned minor threat to the south Monday, there isn’t anything else to talk about besides dry weather and a cold breeze.

TODAY: Partly cloudy. Chance of a brief passing snow shower. Highs 31-38. Wind NW 10-20 MPH, higher gusts.

TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 15-22. Wind NW 10-20 MPH, a few higher gusts.

SATURDAY: Mostly sunny to partly cloudy. A slight chance of a brief passing snow flurry. Highs 27-34. Wind NW 10-20 MPH, a few higher gusts possible.

SATURDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 12-19. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.

SUNDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 25-32. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.

SUNDAY NIGHT: Increasing clouds. Lows 12-19. Wind NW to N up to 10 MPH.

MONDAY: Cloudy morning-midday with a chance of light snow near the South Coast, then increasing sun. Highs 24-31. Wind N to NW 5-15 MPH.

MONDAY NIGHT: Clear. Lows 11-18. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.

TUESDAY: Sunny. Highs 23-30. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (JANUARY 8-12)

Cold and dry pattern. Suppressed storm track keeps snow threats to south.

DAYS 11-15 (JANUARY 13-17)

Cold continues, but storm track also edges closer with a potential storm threat evolving.

DAYS 1-5 (JANUARY 2-6)

The next few days will see us in a dry, colder trend, with persistent northwesterly air flow. Today, winds will be significant, with gusts over 40 MPH common in the region. A slight chance of a passing rain or snow shower exists, and an additional snow shower can drift by Friday and/or Saturday, otherwise the theme is breezy, cold, and dry through the weekend. Monday, we’ll watch a wave of low pressure passing to our south, which is still expected to pass mostly to the south, but may be close enough to throw a swath of light snow into southern areas. There’s still some uncertainty with that low’s track, so it’ll be monitored closely for any changes.

TODAY: Partly sunny. Chance of brief passing rain / snow showers. A couple snow showers may be briefly heavy with minor accumulation in areas well west of Boston. Highs 36-43. Wind NW 15-25 MPH, gusts 30-50 MPH, strongest over open areas and higher elevations.

TONIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 22-29. Wind NW 15-25 MPH, higher gusts.

FRIDAY: Partly cloudy. Chance of a brief passing snow shower. Highs 31-38. Wind NW 10-20 MPH, higher gusts.

FRIDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 15-22. Wind NW 10-20 MPH, a few higher gusts.

SATURDAY: Mostly sunny to partly cloudy. A slight chance of a brief passing snow flurry. Highs 27-34. Wind NW 10-20 MPH, a few higher gusts possible.

SATURDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 12-19. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.

SUNDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 25-32. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.

SUNDAY NIGHT: Increasing clouds. Lows 12-19. Wind NW to N up to 10 MPH.

MONDAY: Cloudy. Chance of light snow South Coast. Highs 22-29. Wind N up to 10 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (JANUARY 7-11)

Cold and dry pattern. Suppressed storm track keeps snow threats to south.

DAYS 11-15 (JANUARY 12-16)

Cold relaxes slightly, but storm track also edges closer with a potential storm threat evolving.

DAYS 1-5 (JANUARY 1-5)

Happy New Year! Low pressure sitting over our area starts our 2025 out on a cloudy, damp note. While a belt of heavier rain and embedded thunderstorms has moved on, and some additional rain lingers as we start daylight, we’ll see this taper to lingering drizzle and light rain showers with areas of fog as low pressure lifts northeastward into the Gulf of Maine. This process will allow a transition from the variable and light wind of early morning to a westerly breeze during the course of the day, but one more batch of showers will cross the region from west to east this evening, mainly as rain except some snow mixing in over higher elevations to the west. After this, we enter a 4-day period of colder trend with mainly dry weather. A passing rain or snow shower is possible Thursday, and a passing snow shower can occur Friday and/or Saturday, but by and large we’re just looking at dry weather and a bit colder each day, including Sunday. During this time, our departed storm system will evolve into a quasi stationary Atlantic Canada low with a large circulation, and this will keep the wind active here, especially on Thursday with notably strong gusts will occur. A very gradual lessening of wind will occur each day after that, but it will remain breeze through the first weekend of 2025.

TODAY (NEW YEAR’S DAY): Cloudy. Rain tapers to patchy drizzle / scattered rain showers. Areas of fog through midday. Highs 45-52. Wind E 5-15 MPH with higher gusts early, becoming variable around 10 MPH, then W 5-15 MPH with higher gusts later in the day.

TONIGHT: Cloudy with rain showers except mixed rain/snow showers higher elevations to the west this evening. Partly cloudy overnight. Lows 30-37. Wind W 10-20 MPH, higher gusts developing.

THURSDAY: Partly sunny. Chance of brief passing rain / snow showers. Highs 36-43. Wind NW 15-25 MPH, gusts 30-50 MPH, strongest over open areas and higher elevations.

THURSDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 22-29. Wind NW 15-25 MPH, higher gusts.

FRIDAY: Partly cloudy. Chance of a brief passing snow shower. Highs 31-38. Wind NW 10-20 MPH, higher gusts.

FRIDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 15-22. Wind NW 10-20 MPH, a few higher gusts.

SATURDAY: Mostly sunny to partly cloudy. A slight chance of a brief passing snow flurry. Highs 27-34. Wind NW 10-20 MPH, a few higher gusts possible.

SATURDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 12-19. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.

SUNDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 25-32. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (JANUARY 6-10)

The theme is cold and mainly dry with a suppressed storm track keeping any significant snow to the south of our region, but still have to watch a system early in the period as it goes by, just in case.

DAYS 11-15 (JANUARY 11-15)

Cold pattern continues. Dry at first, then a snow threat mid or late period. Too soon for any further detail.
