We’ll remain mild New Year’s Eve Day with clouds on the increase late in the day as another area of low pressure approaches New England with more rain. First Night Festivities in Boston look mostly dry at this time, but rain showers will be nearby, moving in around or just after midnight.
New Year’s Day is looking wet as low pressure passes through southern New England. There looks to be just enough cold air to support snow across the western and northern mountains at this time which is great for our ski area which will endure a brief thaw during the next couple days. The start of the New Year is promising a pattern change with temps barely breaking freezing by the first weekend of 2025 and the potential for some storminess in the form of snow by early next week!
Have a great afternoon!
