On the calendar, today is the final full day of winter. Spring arrives tomorrow at 12:57PM.<\/p>\n
Today’s weather, though still with a winter chill, will be a little less cold than the last 2 days. As high pressure slips offshore and low pressure approaches from the southwest, sun will give way to clouds. Precipitation will arrive this evening and will likely be in the form of snow or a snow\/sleet mix northwest of Boston, where some minor accumulation is expected. Elsewhere, it should be rain, with rain overtaking most of the region in the early hours of Thursday, peaking between 3AM and 6AM, before the entire rain area sweeps offshore about dawn. Thursday itself will be a mild day for the first day of Spring as clouds break for sun with dry air sweeping in behind the departing low. A secondary cold front will come through without fanfare at night and set up a breezy and cool but dry Friday. Another small system passes through on Saturday – with mostly rain showers though some snow showers are possible northern areas if precipitation arrives early enough. A more significant shot of cold air follows this Sunday into early\u00a0 next week. Still eyeing a storm threat in the Tuesday \/ Wednesday period next week.<\/p>\n
