The warmth is gone, as is the rain, the really picturesque sky at sunset Tuesday, and the super bright rainbows that some got to enjoy. That was all part of the transition between a very mild air mass and a return to a chilly stretch of weather, which is getting underway now and will last for several days. With high pressure centered mostly to the north of New England, a north to northeasterly flow will be dominant, keeping the weather mainly dry. Clouds from the departing cold front will linger over Cape Cod and the Islands today.\u00a0 Also, an astronomically high tide combined with a north to northeast wind may allow for some minor coastal flooding in prone areas especially midday Wednesday and Thursday. Some low clouds from the ocean may occur over southeastern Massachusetts Thursday. Some high clouds may cross the southern New England sky from late Thursday into part of Friday as a weak disturbance at high levels of the atmosphere propagates through. Otherwise, sunshine will dominate most days through Saturday. Beyond this, the questions start. We do know there will be another storm developing south of New England, which will try to push northward, while high pressure holds strong to the north. This may eventually lead to increasing northeast to east winds, a sky turning cloudy, and a rain threat. The timing\u00a0 suggest we make it through Sunday dry followed by a rain threat early next week. This is still far off with much uncertainty.<\/p>\n
