Our moderating trend will continue Tuesday with lots of sun and a continued westerly air flow. With the dry weather and breezy conditions through Tuesday, the risk of brush fires will be increasing. Avoid use of open flame outside near flammable brush if at all possible. Wednesday, clouds arrive and it cools slightly as a southerly air flow blows slightly cooler air in from the waters to the south of New England. The clouds that arrive finally yield some wet weather by Wednesday night as a warm front moves through. Right now it looks like we&#8217;ll be in a warm sector behind that front and ahead of a cold front on Thursday, but clouds should dominate with additional wet weather at times. The frontal boundary settles southward but rather sluggishly, allowing additional moisture as a wave of low pressure moves along the boundary bringing more rain to the region on Friday, along with somewhat cooler temperatures. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TODAY: Sunny.
