Norton, MA, is gearing up for a diverse range of weather this week, with forecasts indicating everything from clear, chilly nights to potential rain showers. According to the National Weather Service, residents can expect increasing clouds today with a brisk high near 42 degrees and gusts reaching up to 29 mph. The chill will continue into the night as temperatures drop to around 25 degrees, with winds slightly slowing down.
Despite the cold, stargazers have something to look forward to as "Thursday will be the coldest day of the week," bringing with it the prime opportunity to witness the Geminid meteor shower in clear skies, NBC Boston reports. The meteor shower is expected to be visible due to the mostly clear conditions, with a low of around 27 degrees, although residents will have to brave the cold with highs just in the 30s during the day.
Friday promises a reprieve from the biting cold with sunny skies and temperatures forecasted to climb up to 50 degrees, the National Weather Service highlights. This warming trend appears brief as the lows on Friday night will dip to around 35 degrees, suggesting that the crisp fall-like weather is not quite ready to relinquish its hold.
Heading into the weekend, Norton's weather will remain generally stable, though a snowy surprise is off the table. Temperatures hover near a comfy 50 during the day and in the 30s at night, making for a mostly pleasant December weekend with just a touch of New England's briskness in the air, but don't get too cozy—rain is on the horizon with a 30% chance starting Sunday night blossoming into "rain likely" come Monday, the forecast states.
For those planning the start of the new work week, keep umbrellas at the ready—Monday and Monday night will see a 60% chance of rain, with temperatures reaching a high near 52 degrees and lows around 37. The dance with precipitation continues into Tuesday, though with less certainty, as there's a 40% chance of rain, partially sunny skies, and robust winds with the possibility of gusts up to 28 mph.
