A nice sunrise was just visible in eastern MA and southeastern NH with much of the region also frosted over heavily as overnight calm and mainly clear weather allowed temperatures to fall to dew point levels.  Clouds advance quickly from west to east this morning and a brief episode of rain and\/or sleet may occur, mainly northwest of Boston and near the South Coast, as a warm front moves through. This will be followed by the return of sun and a milder afternoon. The upcoming weekend will feature above normal temperatures, despite the passage of a cold front Saturday night. This front will bring rain showers to the region, but dry weather will dominate during the day Saturday and again on Sunday. Ahead of the front, Saturday will be the warmest day with 50+ high temperatures for pretty much everybody except perhaps portions of the South Coast, Cape Cod, and the Islands which may fail to reach 50. We can also see some areas of fog Saturday morning before we see lots of clouds and intervals of sun. I think the sun will lack enough so that record high temperatures, including the 60 set just last year at Boston, are not tied or broken. Sunday will be the cooler of the 2 weekend days, but still above normal for this time of year as the colder air will be slow to advect into the region. And then early  next week, while colder air continues to filter into the region from high pressure in eastern Canada, we&#8217;ll be watching for the passage of low pressure near or south of the region. Model guidance continues to be in disagreement and inconsistent with this system. For now, it&#8217;s safe, forecast-wise, to go for a swath of probable precipitation of the liquid or frozen variety, odds favoring the frozen variety for most of the region, from late Monday to midday Tuesday. Details in precipitation type and timing will still need to be worked out. Model watchers: Knowing the uncertainty, don&#8217;t focus on any one model solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TODAY: Early sun east coastal areas, then lots of clouds through midday including the potential for brief rain or sleet north and west of Boston and near the South Coast. Sunshine returning during the afternoon west to east. Highs 43-50. Wind S under 10 MPH becoming SW and increasing to 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TONIGHT: Partly cloudy. Areas of fog forming. Lows 36-43. Wind SW 5-15 MPH evening, diminishing to under 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SATURDAY: Areas of fog until mid morning, otherwise lots of clouds and intervals of sun. Late-day rain showers southwestern NH and central MA. Highs 48-53 South Coast, 54-59 elsewhere. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SATURDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy with rain showers early to mid evening. Partly cloudy late evening and overnight. Lows 33-40. Wind SW 5-15 MPH shifting to NW, a few higher gusts possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SUNDAY: Partly sunny. Highs 40-47.
