Colder air is filtering into New England at this time and is setting the stage for a short-duration snow event Friday morning as a warm front crosses the region. The warmer air will win out at least aloft so that rain should take over before the steadiest precipitation moves out. It may never really get all that warm at the surface as the cold air gets stuck there. In either case, a cold front will sweep west to east across New England Friday evening with a round of rain showers (some possibly heavy including a chance of thunder). This will set the stage for a cool and very windy Saturday and slightly more tranquil conditions by\u00a0 Sunday though still chilly with a gusty breeze.<\/p>\n
The first part of next week should feature quiet weather with moderating temperatures. Unsettled weather may move in as we close out February (Leap Day) on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
