?️ Rain, Ice, and a Sharp Cooldown Ahead for Plymouth County
PLYMOUTH COUNTY, MA — Residents across Plymouth County are dealing with wet and potentially slippery conditions as rain moves through the region, followed by a noticeable drop in temperatures heading into the week.
Rain developed Sunday and is expected to continue into Monday, with temperatures climbing into the upper 40s to near 50 degrees. While the milder air will reduce icing concerns, wet roads and poor visibility may impact travel, especially during the Monday morning commute.
By Tuesday, a strong cold front will move in, bringing a sharp cooldown. Daytime highs will fall into the upper 20s to low 30s, with gusty winds making it feel even colder. A few snow flurries are possible, though no significant accumulation is expected at this time.
Looking ahead to midweek, conditions remain cold and mostly cloudy, just in time for New Year’s Eve celebrations. New Year’s Day will be chilly but mostly dry, with highs staying below freezing in many areas.
The end of the week and upcoming weekend look quieter, featuring mostly sunny skies and cold but calmer winter weather — favorable for outdoor plans if residents bundle up.
⚠️ What Residents Should Know:
- Expect rain and slick roads through Monday
- Much colder air arrives Tuesday
- Watch for wind chills and possible flurries midweek
- Weekend outlook improves, though temperatures stay cold
Residents are encouraged to drive with caution during wet conditions and dress warmly as winter temperatures settle in for the start of the new year.
