The advertised milder pattern has arrived, but will not be without a few chilly days. Today was one, much cooler than the very mild temperatures enjoyed on Monday. But the mild air is going to return tonight and Wednesday, this time with some unsettled weather. As a warm front approaches tonight, a band of precipitation will move in from the southwest. It will be cold enough for some snow and sleet to start, especially northwest of Boston, with mostly rain to the southeast. All areas will transition to rani as warm air moves in during the night. The rain exits during Wednesday but clouds will be stubborn. Despite that, look for a decent temperature rise on a gusty southerly breeze. A cold front will sweep through from west to east Wednesday night but will do so without precipitation. This will return cooler air to the region for Thursday and Friday. By the time we get to the weekend and early next week, it still looks like a bit of an unsettled pattern shaping up. For now it looks like it will be too mild for more than a mix to rain. Some guidance has hinted at a stronger storm trying to form, but it’s too early to have any confidence in such an outcome.<\/p>\n
