DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 2-6)
\nHigh pressure retreats to the east today but the day itself will be nice after a cold start. Low pressure will intensify off the Mid Atlantic Coast later today and track north northeastward, passing southeast of New England Wednesday. Its closest pass during the first half of Wednesday will put its precipitation shield over southeastern New England, as mainly rain, but can still get a mix with or flip to snow toward the end if it is heavy enough. This remains possible pretty much anywhere except Cape Cod, despite a short range model shift slightly eastward with lighter precipitation. These models do not always pick up banding features that can result in enhanced precipitation, so I’m not going to blindly model-follow and just wipe the chance off the board. Either way, it’s all gone midday Wednesday and clearing quickly follows for an afternoon much different than the morning was. A cooler shot of air arrives Thursday along with an upper level disturbance that will bring some cloudiness to the region. After that, low pressure approaches from the Ohio Valley Friday, and wet weather is expected by Friday night (this may start as snow in some areas) lingering into at least part of Saturday.

DAYS 6-10 (APRIL 7-11)
\nWarm front approaches April 7 and after that it’s a little uncertain whether or not we get into the warm sector sometime April 8 and\/or April 9 before we’re back on the cooler side of the boundary. Unsettled weather is possible any time during this 5-day period.<\/p>\n
