From December 12 to 19, Watertown will experience a mix of winter and spring-like weather. Expect some cold, sunny days with gusty winds that will make it feel chillier than the actual temperature. There will be a brief shift toward milder conditions, with some rain possible, especially toward the weekend. However, winter isn’t done yet — colder temperatures will return, and there’s a chance of snow showers midweek. So, it’ll be a week of fluctuating temperatures, so be ready for both chilly and slightly warmer days, with some wet and possibly slippery conditions to watch out for.
