It looks like we have reached a break in the stormy pattern that has gone on for 6 weeks. The blocking pattern that forced cold air southward into the eastern US and storms down toward the Gulf of Mexico and often up the East Coast has broken down, and will be replaced by a more zonal (west to east) flow in the upper levels during the next week. This will be slow to occur, with a broad trough translating eastward across the Great Lakes & Northeast during the next few days, bringing drier but cold weather to New England.

Slightly milder weather will visit the region starting on the weekend. But don’t expect completely sunny weather. A couple disturbances passing through the region may produce some snow showers and even a period of light snow.
