And so begins a week-long pattern transition, much of it without a whole lot of sunshine.\u00a0 The mild stretch of weather will be coming to an end but that will take time. We’ll go through some unsettled weather to get from it to the onset of another stretch of cold weather.<\/p>\n
A low pressure area will pass west of New England late Friday with a warm front moving into the region. This front will slow down and briefly stall for a while on Saturday with a little wave of low pressure along it. Some wet weather will move in late Friday and linger to early Saturday. The clouds will dominate the weekend, even when the warm air finally moves in full force on Sunday.<\/p>\n
A transition to colder weather will take place during the Monday-Wednesday period, which will be unsettled, as a series of cold fronts moves through the region slowly, along with waves of low pressure moving up along it. Most of the precipitation will likely fall is rain but some mix\/snow may also occur, depending on the regional temperature profile.<\/p>\n
By late in the week, mainly dry and much colder weather will be in control as the jet stream finally shifts enough to let some very cold air out of Canada and into New England.<\/p>\n
