TUESDAY RAIN
A storm system is making its way toward New England, pushing a front through on Tuesday. Parts of northern New England will see the potential for a wintry mix early as the storm arrives. A Winter Weather Advisory has been issued for parts of Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine, where we could see slick spots and light ice early in the day. Massachusetts will see some rain between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. We are still at the point where we need rain, and we could easily pick up a widespread 1/4″ for southern New England. This could slow travel down through the day, but dry weather will arrive for evening drivers.
THANKSGIVING FORECAST
If you’re hitting the road or catching a flight on Wednesday, you’re in luck. The weather looks perfect for travel, with dry conditions and highs in the upper 40s.
That all changes for Thanksgiving as we’re tracking a storm system that will impact our region. The storm hasn’t developed yet, but we believe southern New England will get mostly rain with some mixing or snow in the highest hills, while northern New England will see some snow, especially in the higher elevations. We’re also keeping an eye on the potential for gusty winds as this storm moves through. It’s expected to move through quickly, clearing out by Thursday night.
For those planning to hit the stores on Black Friday, be prepared for cooler and windier conditions. Temperatures will be chilly, and gusty winds will stick around through the weekend, making it feel even colder. If you’re planning to do some outdoor shopping or standing in line for early deals, make sure to bundle up. However, it does look clear for travel back home.
