Actually, the atmosphere being somewhat unstable today, we may see a few more of these pop up through the afternoon, but with no accumulation, and most of the day generally dry and cold in a northwest flow behind the storm and in advance of high pressure, which today will be centered over the eastern Ohio Valley. This high center will slide eastward just to the south of New England Sunday, which will feature lots of sun and less wind, but still chilly air. The jet stream express train will bring the next low pressure system into and across New England Monday, center passing north of our area Monday evening. Its trailing warm front \/ cold front combo will bring a period or two of precipitation, probably starting as snow for most (maybe mix\/rain South Coast) but a warmer air invasion above will probably flip this to a rain situation for most areas in the I-95 belt southeastward, with snow most likely holding on well to the northwest in north central MA and southwestern NH, with a mix zone between. This will not be a big precipitation producer. I&#8217;ll just have to detail the precip-type distribution as it gets closer. This system is out of here and fair weather returns for Tuesday and Wednesday, first with a bit cooler air Tuesday, then a quick moderation for Wednesday. If it were not for snow cover that will still be on the ground, we&#8217;d probably reach or exceed 50 that day, but my early call is to hold the temperatures in the 40s due to the refrigeration-effect. Still, looks like a nice day Wednesday &#8211; one that may kick-start your spring dreams. \ud83d\ude42 Just remember where we live and don&#8217;t get too used to the milder air. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TODAY: Clouds dominant this morning with a few snow showers likely.

Next threat of unsettled weather comes over the February 27-28 weekend with fair weather returning to end the period.
