Boston 25 Weather

Bitter cold vacation week

FRIGID SUNDAY

Brace for bitter cold today. Morning singles and teens will only rise into the 20s this afternoon, despite sunny skies across most of southern New England. Ocean effect clouds and light snow showers will impact the South Shore and Cape this morning. Cape Cod will dry out this afternoon, but remain partly cloudy.

HOLIDAY WEEK

A weak storm system will swing through tomorrow. In fact, after midnight we have the chance for a patchy coating of snow. The main event will run from 7 AM - 1 PM locally with light snow. A coating-1″ is in the forecast in eastern MA with 1-2″ north and west of I-495. Light snow may transition to light rain over the Cape by late morning with temperatures above freezing. Clouds will break in the afternoon for some partial sun before sunset.

Christmas Day will be dry with partly sunny skies with highs in the 30s. The Cape may, again, see a few ocean effect flurries. Inland towns will be the brightest. Since snow won’t be in a hurry to melt, many local towns will see a “White Christmas” with 1″ or more snow on the ground.

Conditions will gradually warm late week with highs back in the upper 30s to lower 40s this weekend.
