Overview
- Tuesday morning will start in the single digits and teens for much of New England with wind chills near or below zero.
- A fast clipper late Tuesday night should produce only spotty light snow with at most a coating, and Boston has a low chance of flakes.
- A more organized system Wednesday is expected to keep Boston in the warm sector with about 0.10 inch of rain while inland areas pick up 1–3 inches of snow, with near 6 inches possible at higher elevations.
- The rain–snow boundary is expected to set up west of Boston near Worcester, with forecasters refining the line as new model guidance arrives Tuesday.
- Temperatures are running 15–20 degrees below normal, Greater Boston is experiencing its coldest start to December since 2007, much of New England ranks among the top 10 coldest to date, and Logan’s snowless streak remains the city’s third longest.
