A few changes being made to the previous forecast, but nothing major. Here’s a summary of what is coming and a short update, with a longer post later today for the week upcoming.<\/p>\n
High pressure slides east of New England today as low pressure travels north northeastward into the Upper Ohio Valley. A southerly wind will bring the chance of some light rain later today along with milder air, but it may be cold enough at the surface in the remote northwestern suburbs of Boston for a period of freezing rain first. Not much precipitation is expected, however, so any problems will be very limited.<\/p>\n
Monday, the low pressure area will track into eastern Canada, intensifying and whipping a strong cold front eastward across southern New England. With mild air in place a period of rain showers can be expected, but by the end of the day it will be dry and turning colder. A secondary Arctic boundary will cross the region Monday night with a chance of snow showers and snow squalls, and a strong westerly flow will push an Arctic air mass right into the region Tuesday, a much colder day than Monday.<\/p>\n
High pressure will try to rebuild over the region Wednesday and Thursday as the core of the coldest air moves out of the region. A weak weather system is expected to push through the region early Friday but it looks like it will be weakening and transferring energy off the Mid Atlantic Coast with fair weather later Friday and Saturday. Confidence on the late week portion of the forecast is low.<\/p>\n
