SUMMARY…
\nSpring was ushered in by a snow event across much of southern New England. Nothing unusual about that as it has happened many times. The weak disturbance that prolonged the snow into midday Saturday as now exiting and a little sun may pop out for a while across some areas. But this won’t last too long as a trough and cold front will swing through this evening with a few rain showers, then a few snow showers, and a sharp temperature drop. Late-season Arctic air will move in overnight and Sunday and remain in place through Monday, though those 2 days will be bright and dry. After a very cold start to Tuesday as high pressure is overhead, the strong sun and a return southwest flow on the back side of high pressure moving away will allow temperatures to start a moderation. This will also continue into midweek but that period of time will not be as sunny as we’ll have a warm front scoot across the region Wednesday followed by a cold front later Thursday. The timing of this front will determine how warm we get here on Thursday, so there is some uncertainty in that part of the forecast. Further uncertainty exists for the end of the week as there may be storm development on the lingering cold front as it slows down offshore.<\/p>\n
