Now that the disorganized winterish sort of event is winding down as snow in most places, and rather slowly at that, the only lasting impact from it will be tonight’s freeze-up as temperatures sit in the 20s in most locations (bit milder coast and southeastern MA for a while).<\/p>\n
Not far behind this departing system is the next low pressure area, but like many others this season, this one has a destination that brings it on a track north of southern New England, putting us on the warm side. Only some brief snow\/sleet may occur Friday night at the start of the precipitation from a bit of cold air hanging on. But eventually this becomes a numerous rain shower producer, but moves through rather quickly, fast enough so that the sun may even make an appearance before Saturday is over! Some lingering upper level low pressure troughing in the region means that lots of clouds will return on Sunday and probably linger on Monday as well, with a trend to chilly temperatures for a short time.<\/p>\n
As we reach the middle of next week, it looks like a significant warm-up will take place, along with fair weather – a taste of spring (not that far different from what much of the winter was like).<\/p>\n
