By Thursday, clouds will fill the New England sky as the anticipated late-week storm organizes over the Central and Eastern United States.
Farther south in Central and Southern New England, rain totals Thursday night through Friday will reach up to two inches, but the bigger problem is likely to be wind: southeast and then southerly gusts will reach 50 mph for many and may touch 70 mph at some immediate shorelines, likely to deliver power outages on Friday afternoon.
Utility crews undoubtedly will swing into quick action with the holiday weekend immediately following this storm, but nature won’t make the job easy: a flash freeze is possible Friday night as the rain ends but colder air sweeps in, and the wind will shift direction to blow from the southwest Friday night into Saturday and will drop in magnitude, but still feature frequent gusts to 30 and 35 mph, making work from bucket trucks a bit more challenging, especially as wind chill values dip to zero...
All the while, the increasing ocean waves coupled with a high tidal level due to the New Moon coming up on the 23rd will mean coastal flooding in pockets for the Friday late morning high tide, and for some at the South Coast, again Friday night.
Cold air continues Christmas Day with most New England towns not making 30 degrees and perhaps some ocean-effect flurries or snow showers on Nantucket, with a fair sky for most of the remainder of New England.The next chance of light snow thereafter is a possibility on Tuesday, though that’s less certain than some of our recent events have been in the extended forecast.
