Prepare for a wet next several days, as rain and potentially snow are in the forecast.
Massachusetts will see a largely rainy and cool Sunday, with precipitation lingering into Monday before the storm system exits. Snow is possible Monday and again Wednesday, according to the National Weather Service.
Dry weather and mild temperatures Saturday will change overnight, giving way to rainy, cool and brisk conditions Sunday. Widespread rain is in the forecast in southern New England on Sunday, the Weather Service said.
The precipitation type Sunday will be all rain, and it will fall fairly steadily, lightly to moderately. No flooding issues are expected. However, Massachusetts is in store for “a wet, dreary and raw day,” according to the Weather Service.
Sunday will not be as mild as previous days either, with highs expected to be more typical for early December. Temperatures should hover in the 40s, but it will feel cooler given the brisk air coming from the ocean, the Weather Service said.
Conditions should be drier on Monday as the storm system exits. Breaks of sunshine are expected late Monday morning through the afternoon. However, there will likely be more clouds than sun, according to the Weather Service.
After Monday morning, the weather should remain dry for most of the region other than along the Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Vermont borders, where there could be a few spotty showers and perhaps a bit of snow mixing in across the higher terrain, the Weather Service said.
Tuesday through Thursday should be cloudy and chilly, with below-normal temperatures expected and little to no precipitation forecast. Wednesday, however, may be an exception to the otherwise dry weather, according to the Weather Service.
A clipper storm system, which tends to bring light and moderate snows, will slide in to the south of New England on Wednesday, but it could perhaps bring some spotty rain and snow showers. Uncertainty remains surrounding how widespread the storm will be and what precipitation type is likely, the Weather Service indicated.
The next shot for more widespread precipitation after Sunday comes Friday after the clipper system slides in. However, there is still “a fair amount of uncertainty with this system, especially on the intensity and exact track of the clipper system,” the Weather Service noted.
