Wet Weather, Warm Temperatures Heading to MetroWest, Framingham

FRAMINGHAM, MA - The big question on everyone’s mind is will it be a white Christmas or not this year?

Well, unless the Snow Miser throws snowballs at his brother, the Heat Miser, it’s unlikely. In fact, with the rain coming into the region, followed by a warm front hitting the Northeast and New England on the day before Christmas, it might be the warmest Christmas Eve on record, according to the meteorologists at AccuWeather.com.

Temperatures on Thursday will be 25 to 30 degrees above normal … it will feel like Spring, not Christmas, forecasters predict.

Here’s a look at Framingham’s Christmas week forecast:
