Wet Weather, Warm Temperatures Heading Our Way

The big question on everyone’s mind is will it be a white Christmas or not this year?

Well, unless the Snow Miser throws snowballs at his brother, the Heat Miser, it’s unlikely.

In fact, with the rain coming into the region, followed by a warm front hitting the Northeast and New England on the day before Christmas, it might be the warmest Christmas Eve on record, according to the meteorologists at AccuWeather.com.

Temperatures on Thursday will be 25 to 30 degrees above normal … it will feel like Spring, not Christmas, forecasters predict.

Here’s a look at the area’s Christmas week forecast:

• Tuesday: Expect a quarter of an inch of rain on Tuesday with a high of 54. Partly cloudy skies Tuesday night and a low of 37.

• Wednesday: Clouds early Wednesday with showers for the afternoon and a high of 52. Rain is likely for Wednesday night with a low of 46 degrees.

• Christmas Eve: Cloudy with occasional light rain in the afternoon and a high of 68. A few clouds for Santa’s travels Thursday night and a low of 46.

• Christmas Day: Mostly sunny with a few afternoon clouds and a high of 59. Christmas night expect increasing clouds with periods of rain after midnight with a low of 38.
