Temperature swings continue, with Tuesday afternoon being the highest point and highs close to 60 with a breeze.
The rest of the week turns more seasonable. Wednesday will start calm and dry, but clouds will increase with a line of rain and wind approaching by the evening. Parts of northern New England could see a wintry mix and light snow, anywhere from a coating to 3 inches. Most of the Boston area will see only rain.

Christmas Eve will continue this cold trend, but by Christmas, highs will be closer to normal in the upper 30s. And we're looking ahead to a dry stretch for much of next week.
