But behind that cold front strong gusty winds will usher in what will be the coldest air of this month of december so far. Let me show what you that will do to our temperatures. Right now sitting at 41 in boston, 38 in lawrence, 36 in keen still almost 50 degrees in nan tunth. Watch how the numbers really start to drop during the overnight hours. Down to the low to mid30s in boston. Lots of upper 20s on the map a little bit later on tonight. Then notice our high temperatures tomorrow are really no different. Almost no warmup from the afternoon hours tomorrow and it will remain cold overnight tomorrow night and that will be the setup for what could be our first measurable snowstorm of the year. Right now that snowstorm is in texas. Sam one that brought Severe Weather to starts of texas. This is heading our way. Not expecting the Severe Weather but we are expecting some of that snow because the air will be quite a bit colder than it has been both tomorrow and heading into tomorrow night.

So looking at mainly rain from boston south. And concern about the possibility of a brief period of freezing rain. Middle part of the day mainly right around worcester or northern parts of Worcester County could be a little bit of accumulation. Even light accumulations for freezing rain can be very slippery conditions. By the time we get to the evening commute everyone is coming home this will be solidly rain. In terms of how much snow well get thinking about slushy one, two inches maybe in the boston area and probably be enough rain in the afternoon hours to completely wash it away. West of 128 could be just enough that you might actually have to do a little bit of shoveling or a little into tuesday afternoon. 35 breezy and cold on monday. And then down to the mid to upper 20s Tuesday Morning. Thats what we could see the snow warming up to 41 tuesday afternoon. So again changing to rain in the afternoon hours. 46 on wednesday.
