December 19th Update
The weather looks relatively quiet in Southeastern New England leading up to Christmas. After a very chilly start to the week, the temperature will warm into the 40s by midweek, and it looks relatively mild around Christmas. There are a couple of chance of precipitation, but accumulating snow is unlikely, and it will probably not be a white Christmas in most or all of Southeastern New England.
Lows will be in the teens Monday night under clear skies. Look for sun and a lighter breeze on Tuesday. It will warm into the mid to upper 30s after the cold start. Quiet weather continues on Wednesday. Highs will be in the low 40s with a blend of clouds and sun.
Clouds increase on Thursday, and rain showers are possible late in the day and/or at night. Highs will be in the mid 40s. There is a low chance of snow showers inland instead of rain – we’ll keep you posted. Dry weather returns on Friday. It will be breezy with highs in the low 40s.
Last Christmas was incredibly warm, and this one looks mild, but not record-breaking. Highs will be in the mid to upper 40s on Christmas Eve. It may reach the low 50s on Christmas Day. Rain showers are possible Saturday night. It will probably not be enough to cause any travel issues.
