If you blink you may miss it, but winter weather is going to make a short visit tonight and early Saturday in the form of snow showers, with some accumulation in eastern MA and southern NH. Cold air, moving in during this evening, will stick around through early Sunday morning. The snow will be produced by the combination of a strong disturbance and a cold front passing through southern New England. The disturbance will ignite a low pressure area just offshore Saturday morning which may enhance snowfall in northeastern MA and southeastern NH, especially near the coast, where the most snowfall is expected. This will not be a major snowfall by any stretch, but up to a few inches may occur, and that will be enough to have to push off walks and driveways. Roads may see some slushy accumulation and may be briefly snowcovered and slick, but existing warm ground will not allow this to last very long.<\/p>\n
By the time we get to Sunday and Monday, a new warm-up will be underway, and the mild pattern will last for much of next week, with temperatures closer to the coast being determined by the wind direction, as winds will be variable and at times off the ocean as we get to the middle of next week.<\/p>\n
