What a dreary day! Shower chances increase Monday evening from 7 to 10 p.m. due to a cold front moving quickly across New England.
Behind the front, gusty northwest winds kick in, strongest along the coast and higher terrain, where gusts could top 35 to 40 mph. Tuesday will be dry but breezy with sunshine returning.
Another quick-moving system arrives late Wednesday, bringing another round of scattered showers and a reinforcing shot of cooler air. The higher peaks of Vermont and New Hampshire could even see some flakes flying late Wednesday to Thursday — among the first snowflakes of the season as colder air filters in behind that midweek front.
Speaking of snow, we’re still weeks away from the average date of the first snow in Boston. But it’s closer for other parts of the region — the average day of the first snowfall is right around Nov. 19 for Worcester, Massachusetts, and Concord and Manchester, New Hampshire.
Up in Burlington, the average day for the first measurable snow is earlier: Nov. 8. And the season’s first snow has already fallen way up on Mount Washington.
When will it snow in Massachusetts and the rest of New England? NBC10 Boston’s Tevin Wooten takes a look at first snowfall dates across the region.
The Boston area’s weather pattern stays active but manageable heading toward the weekend. Another rain chance slides in Friday night into Saturday with a few showers and another round of gusty winds.
A stretch of highs in the 40s comes next week — some of the coldest air of the season so far.
