A couple mild days will start the week out as high pressure sinks to the south of New England Monday and a cold front approaches Tuesday. A southwest wind will transport the mild air into the region. Only a few showers are possible with the cold frontal passage later Tuesday, but this front will settle just to the south and wait for a wave of low pressure to travel along it on Wednesday, and this will bring a chance of some rain, especially to southern and eastern portions of southeastern New England.\u00a0 As the low departs Wednesday evening, any lingering moisture and a very chilly air mass could create just the right combination for a few areas to see their first flakes of snow mixed in with a few lingering rain showers. It would not be a snowstorm situation. This low pressure area will intensify as it pushes through the Canadian Maritimes, and as upper level low pressure takes up residence in eastern Canada, this combination means a windier and colder pattern for the end of the week. A disturbance will have to be watched for the weekend as it may bring some unsettled weather to the region and also reinforce the colder air. Details on how this may play out are not clear so the forecast for the end of the week is low confidence.<\/p>\n
