Our post-Christmas forecast will be very similar to the actual holiday with highs Thursday in the upper 30s to lower 40s.
In the morning, there may be some patchy black ice again and spots of fog, but our thaw continues Thursday afternoon even with cooler air in place. The cloud cover will also decrease a bit by afternoon.
Warmer temperatures will roll back into New England as we wrap up 2019. First on Friday, our highs reach the mid to upper 40s as a warm front lifts through the area.
There is a chance for a light wintry mix across higher terrain Friday morning in the afternoon, while southern New England may squeeze out a few rain showers. Otherwise the region will see mostly cloudy skies.
The mild air settles in through Saturday as we dry off, the sun breaks out and highs again reach the upper 40s.
Sunday afternoon will be primarily dry and near 50 degrees by evening.
A larger area of low pressure tracks way to our northwest for the last couple days of 2019. This swings in a wintry mix across the mountains of northern New England and scattered rain south.
