As we bid farewell to 2024 and ring in the new year, New England’s weather is shaping up to be dynamic and ever-changing. From a fast-moving cold front to a soaking rainstorm on New Year’s Day, followed by cooler and breezy conditions to start 2025, there’s plenty to discuss for the days ahead. Let’s break it all down!
Today: A Rainy, Windy Start, Clearing by Afternoon
This morning, a cold front will sweep through southern New England, bringing a brief but intense round of heavy rain and gusty winds. You can expect 0.5–1 inch of rainfall, with the heaviest amounts likely during the morning commute. Urban areas may experience minor ponding, so leave extra time if you're hitting the roads. Southerly winds will gust between 30–35 mph, with isolated gusts near 40 mph along the South Coast and Cape Cod.
Once the rain moves offshore by late morning, skies will clear quickly from west to east. Morning highs in the mid to upper 50s will gradually fall into the mid-40s to near 50°F by the afternoon as cooler air filters in. Tonight, partly cloudy skies will prevail, with lows dropping into the mid-30s inland and upper 30s near the coast.
Tuesday: A Calm Close to 2024
Tuesday offers a brief reprieve from active weather, with dry and mild conditions during the day. Skies will be partly cloudy in the morning, but clouds will thicken during the afternoon as the next system approaches. Highs will climb into the upper 40s to mid-50s, though earlier cloud cover may temper temperatures in some areas. Rain showers will move in after sunset, leading to a damp and mild night with lows in the mid-30s to low 40s.
New Year’s Day: Starting 2025 with Rain
The first day of 2025 will bring widespread rain as a low-pressure system tracks through the region. The rain will be heaviest during the morning and early afternoon, with totals ranging from 0.5 to 1 inch. While temperatures will stay above freezing—rising into the upper 40s to mid-50s—colder air will rush in behind the system during the evening. Overnight lows will dip into the low 30s inland and mid-30s near the coast, and higher elevations may see a brief period of snow showers as the system exits.
