It is a cold start this morning with temperatures in the teens. Max temps will rebound into the low to mid 30's which is a few degrees below average for mid to late December. Temperatures will moderate into the 40's by the holiday weekend. Although these readings will be above average they will still be a good 20 degrees below 2015 and 15-20 below Christmas 2014. Snow chances appear minimal through the forecast period. Unless there is a Christmas week miracle there will be no White Christmas in 2016.
High pressure is in control for the Northeast US through tomorrow. Our next cold front is just now entering the Pacific Northwest.

Temperatures max in the low 30's in Southern Worcester County, Eastern MA, RI an CT. Temps are closer to 30 or in the upper 20's in Western MA and Northern Worcester County. Today is the last full day of fall so there will not be much sunlight to work with in the afternoon to maximize the sunshine. Clouds will also be on the increase this PM.

Temperatures will not be as cold tonight as they are this morning but lows still drop into the low to mid 20's for most. We will drop into the upper teens in some parts of Western MA. Winds pick up a bit tonight as a weak front passes. This front will be mainly dry but a pocket of rain/snow showers is possible in SE MA especially the Cape and Is.

There will be isolated snow/rain showers during the day Friday but the best chance is in Central and Northern New England.

Here is what is "normal" and the extremes for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. 2015 is well represented here.
Everyone wants a White Christmas and then no snow after that (except for students and teachers). Well that just is not how it works. The majority of our snow falls after Jan 1.
