The second storm system in 2 days will move through southeastern New England this afternoon and tonight. It will be mild enough for mostly rain from the immediate Boston area south and southeast, but cold air hangs on for mix\/snow to the west and north. where rain occurs, it may be heavy enough for some local flooding of streets and parking lots due to snow-blocked storm drains. The storm is made up of one low passing to the northwest of the region and a secondary low forming near or just south of Boston which will then move into the Gulf of Maine this evening. Enough cold air coming in at the end of the precipitation may flip it to snow into Boston and parts of southern MA to northern RI, but with only minor accumulation in these areas.<\/p>\n
A break comes tomorrow, which will be a fair day with relatively mild air, as non-Arctic high pressure dominates. Clouds will arrive later tomorrow as a warm front approaches, and this may bring some rain later at night, especially from Boston north and west. A one-day shot of warmer air comes on Friday, but a cold front sweeping eastward into the region will bring a band of showers and even the chance of a few thunderstorms during the afternoon. This will push eastward and out of the region Friday evening. The air will not be too cold behind the initial cold front, setting up a decent day Saturday with dry, mild weather. A second cold front will pass through the region Sunday with a few rain\/snow showers.<\/p>\n
Next week looks much colder as we get another visit from the infamous Polar Vortex, though it remains too early to be sure about timing of any snow threat.<\/p>\n
