A lot of clouds will accompany this feature, but it will be a rain-free day for the most part, with only a few light rain showers possible late in the day in areas north and west of Boston, and then a few more of those possible later tonight as a cold front swings through, passing offshore early Saturday morning. The air behind the cold front is not really that cold, so despite a developing gusty wind and dry weather on Saturday, it will be on the milder side. It won&#8217;t be until a secondary cold front comes through the region Saturday night or very early Sunday, possibly accompanied by a snow shower in northwestern reaches of the WHW forecast area, that we will be introduced to a little blast of cold air for the final full day of winter, fittingly, on Sunday, which will be chilly and windy, but dry. But we&#8217;re going to have a moderation in temperature just in time to welcome spring with the vernal equinox on Monday, and the first full day of the new season on Tuesday as high pressure sinks to the south of the region. After a cold start early Monday, a warm-up will commence, with continued fair weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TODAY: Mostly cloudy. A late-day rain shower possible central to northeastern MA and southern NH.
