12/18/11 A chilly, with some Cape snow type of morning!

A developing ocean storm has brought some snow showers to the South Shore and the Cape this morning, but the low is tracking out to sea and most areas will see some clouds and diminishing snow flurries.

Light bands of snow showers set up over the Cape this morning, they will diminish as the morning continues

The coldest airmass of the season is overhead this morning with temperatures in the teens for most locations. (19 here at the WxBear Station). This air mass will have a difficult time gaining any warmth today as we are at the minimum for incoming solar radiation this time of year.

A warming trend will occur for the week ahead as a storm from Texas pushes into the northeast. It may start off as some snow showers on Tuesday, but change to rain in Wednesday.

A cold arctic air mass will filter in again on Christmas Eve next weekend.
