A bright and cold start and a grey and cold finish can be expected today as high pressure to the north of the region slips away to the east and a low pressure area approaches the Great Lakes and spreads increasing cloudiness across southern New England. This system will attempt to redevelop just south of New England and track just offshore, but will be quite weak and rather fast-moving. With cold air locked at the surface for the early to middle stages of the event Monday morning, most areas will start as snow, but as warm air comes in aloft rather rapidly, a change to rain will take place. This rain will freeze on the surfaces it falls on in areas north and west of Boston for a time Monday morning to midday, with the best chance of some minor icing being mainly near I-495 through the Worcester Hills and into interior southern NH. But even here the ice should melt as temperatures go above freezing during Monday afternoon. Moisture exits the region from south to north by Monday evening but we may be left with some fog. As low pressure finally pulls away by early Tuesday, we’ll see drying and cooling take place, but a frontal system trailing the low will be lingering offshore and a wave of low pressure will ride up along it and bring the chance of a period of light mix\/snow to the South Coast and Cape Cod Tuesday morning to early afternoon. The mid to late week will feature dry and cold weather as a northwesterly flow becomes established. A few disturbances moving along the flow may bring some clouds at times and there may also be a few instances where snow showers from the Great Lakes try to sneak into parts of the region, but these will be the exception rather than the rule, and the main story will be the cold along with some windy episodes.<\/p>\n
