“I’m dreaming of a White Christmas, just like the ones I used to know.”
Sorry Bing, it looks like you’ll need to keep dreaming again this year. It’s not going to be in the 60s like last year, but it’s probably not going to be white either. The week will start off quiet though, which is a welcome change from the rollercoaster we’ve been on for the past few days. High pressure builds in with dry and cold conditions for Monday, but temperatures will gradually moderate Tuesday and Wednesday as high pressure slides off to the south and east of New England. Another system passes to our north on Thursday, with some snow or rain showers expected. High pressure returns for Friday and Saturday, giving us some nice weather for those last-minute trips to the mall, so that you can finally start your Christmas or Hanukkah shopping. As for Christmas Day itself, for now, it looks to start off dry, but another storm system will be moving across the Great Lakes, possibly sending some rain or snow into the region at night. We’ll have more on that system latr in the week as the details become a bit clearer.
If you’re wondering when we might be looking at another snowstorm, you can probably flip your calendar to 2017. The final week of 2016 looks mild for now, though we’ll need to keep an eye on the timeframe around New Year’s Eve, as at least one model is hinting that something could be brewing around then.
Monday: Partly to mostly sunny. High 22-29.
Monday night: Clear skies. Low 7-14.
Tuesday: Sunshine and some afternoon clouds. High 28-35.
Tuesday night: Partly cloudy. Low 22-29.
Wednesday: A mix of sun and clouds. High 36-43.
Thursday: Mostly cloudy with rain or snow showers possible. High 39-46.
Friday: Plenty of sunshine. High 37-44.
Saturday: Partly sunny. High 40-47.
Sunday: Becoming mostly cloudy, chance of rain or snow at night. High 39-46.
