High pressure brings a nice mild day today. Cold front settles into the region from the north tonight but never really pushes far enough south to bring cold air back in before low pressure travels along the front while intensifying on Wednesday. This means a mostly rain event for a good portion of southeastern New England (some mix far northwest), but then a switch to snow on the back side as the storm moves away, enough for some minor accumulation but a possible quick freeze up early Thursday (more on this later). Thursday will end up windy and very cold. Friday will be fair and more tranquil as high pressure moves in. A disturbance passing north of the region will bring a milder southwest wind Saturday but with clouds and a rain shower risk, then colder air back in on Sunday with fair weather. Longer range outlook – storminess stays well offshore early next week.<\/p>\n
