The city is primed for a drenching, as the WBZ Weather team has cranked out a Next Weather Alert for a rain-soaked Sunday. While you'll get a break with today's weather, perfect for decking the halls or scouting the perfect Christmas tree, the skies are plotting to open up by Sunday morning, promising a grim cap to the weekend, according to CBS News Boston.
Northern New England is set to snag some snowfall from these festivities, mainly gracing the peaks of Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine with a wintry blanket. As the snowflakes dance over the mountains—a projected 3-6 inches or more will lay claim to the higher elevations—a mix of rain and slushy snow is expected to pelt the Monadnock Region with minor accumulations, CBS News Boston reported.
On the flip side, the mercury isn't quite ready to take a dive yet. Massachusetts, per MassLive, is banking on "a wet, dreary, and raw day" coming tomorrow, with temperatures clinging to the 40s. The comfort of previous mild days will be stolen away by brisk oceanic breezes, making it feel even chillier for those braving the outdoors.
The sun, playing coy, might peek through the clouds this coming Monday morning, offering a slight reprieve as the storm system waves goodbye. Lingering clouds will still loom overhead, however, with the Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Vermont borders catching a few flurries or a sprinkle of showers, MassLive delineated.
Looking ahead, on December 6, the wintry forecast would be shrouded in mystery, with a clipper storm system potentially sneaking into the south of New England. This could mix the pot with light snow and rain showers—although widespread impact is still up for bets. Keep an eye out for Friday as well, when the region could face another round of weather roulette as the clipper system decides its final play.
