1 To 3 Inches Of Snow Accumulation Is Expected On Tuesday Across Western & Central Mass (Issued: Early Monday Afternoon 12/22/2025)

For The Rest Of This Afternoon: Lots of sunshine can be expected throughout the remaining parts of this afternoon. Temperatures will be around 30 Degrees. Winds will be West to Northwest at 10 to 20 mph.

Tonight: Skies are expected to start out clear to partly cloudy this evening, but will become cloudy after midnight as a warm front begins to approach the region. Low temperatures will be near 20 Degrees. Winds will be West at 6 to 12 mph.

1 To 3 Inches Of Snow Accumulation Is Expected On Tuesday: A warm front is expected to affect the entire area during the day on Tuesday. It is still expected that our area will be on the colder side of this warm front and because of this, all snow is expected throughout much of the day on Tuesday.

Snow is expected to overspread Western Mass between about 7 and 9 am Tuesday morning and then begin across Central Mass between about 9 am and 11 am Tuesday morning. Snow is then expected to continue throughout Tuesday afternoon before it comes to an end during the early evening hours of Tuesday.

All-in-all, this continues to look like a 1 to 3 inch snowfall across the entire area. You can what I’m thinking with the forecast snowfall map attached to this post.

For those of you traveling on Tuesday or if you are going to be out and about on Tuesday, be aware that untreated roads and other surfaces will likely be slick as the snow will be wet in consistency leading to greasy surfaces. So, be careful out there on Tuesday.

High temperatures Tuesday will be in the low 30s. Winds will be Southwest at 5 to 10 mph in the morning and East at 5 to 10 mph.

Christmas Eve & Christmas Day: A windy Christmas Eve is expected under partly sunny skies. High temperatures will be around 35 Degrees. Winds will be North to Northwest at 15 to 20 mph.

Christmas Day looks cloudy with high temperatures between 35 and 40 Degrees.

Two Other Storms – One For Friday & A Second For Sunday – Need To Be Watched Closely: The immediate post Christmas weather pattern looks potentially very active as a sharp frontal boundary will separate a very cold air mass across northern New England and some downright warm temperatures over the Mid-Atlantic and southern United States. This frontal boundary looks to produce two storms that could bring wintry weather to our area. The first chance of wintry weather looks to occur on Friday and the second possibly occurring on Sunday. That being said, there remains a high amount of uncertainty to the forecast for late this week and this weekend.

First for the possible storm on Friday – The weather forecast guidance continues to be in quite a bit of disagreement with each other on how far south that frontal boundary sinks & whether the very cold air mass just to our north is able to suppress the wintry precipitation to our south or not. It’s possible that we could completely miss Friday’s winter weather event & it’s equally as possible that we see a decent winter weather event that produces both snow and ice. The forecast for Friday needs to be watched very closely & I will have more updates in the days to come.

Now, for the possible storm on Sunday – A second storm system is expected to move in close behind the first one leading to the possibility of snow and ice to occur during the day on Sunday. Since this is still some 6 days away, I don’t want to say more than snow and possible ice is in the cards for Sunday, which could definitely impact travel.
