12/19/11 Dreaming of a White Chirstmas?? It could be!

After the coldest morning of the season, (14 here - 18 at KBOS) , the coldest since March 3, the temperature will rebound today back into the 40s as we get to a southerly flow of air ahead of a cold front approaching from the north today. The flow will be windy, with gusts approaching 30-40 mph in some areas.



Cold air will be short lived as yet again, the flow of air will quickly shift form the north to the southwest as a storm that will  bring snow to the southwest will move in the direction of the northeast, but without a connection to any arctic air, we will see rain fall.

Cool Canadian high pressure will quickly push colder air off to the east on Tuesday and allow temperatures to climb back to near 40. Mild air over the southeast, will push the cold front back north as a warm front on Wednesday and bring temperatures to near 50!

As the precipitation begins to fall late Tuesday night into early Wednesday morning, some light snow could fall across Western MA and CT in the Berkshires.
A light dusting of snow may fall overnight Tuesday into early Wednesday. A few flurries may be seen in Boston with no accumulation.
The trending story now with the weather is the potential for a Christmas day snowstorm up the eastern seaboard.  This map shows one output for snow.

Yes this map may be a bit aggressive, but show snow from TX to New England falling Christmas Eve through Christmas Monday.
Another model showing a developing Christmas snow for New England on Sunday morning!
More details to follow this week.
