Beautiful St. Patty's Day

We are in between low pressure systems today, warmth expected through tomorrow before cooling off for the upcoming weekend.

Today:  Lots of sunshine, highs in the mid 50s south, mid and upper 40s north.

Tonight:  Increasing clouds, slight chance of rain showers toward morning, lows in the 40s south, low to mid 30s north.

Tomorrow:  A few morning showers possible, breaks of sunshine develops, mild, highs in the low to mid 60s south, 50s north.

Tomorrow night:  Partly cloudy, lows in the upper 20s and low 30s south, teens and 20s north.

Saturday:  Partly sunny, highs in the mid 40s south, upper 30s and low 40s north.

Discussion:
We are under the influence of a small area of high pressure today that is wedged in between the storm we had yesterday and a system that will race to our north tomorrow.  Southwesterly winds and bring sunshine will push temperatures to above normal levels for today and this will continue tomorrow.  As the high pressure system shifts off shore tonight, a fast moving area of low pressure will slide by to our north during the first half of the day tomorrow.  This will swing a weak front through the region.  There doesn't appear to be very much moisture associated with the front in the forecast models, so only low chances of rain showers early on Friday morning.  Once the front passes through, we should see some breaks in the clouds develop.  With this sunshine, temperatures should get even warmer on Friday than we will see today.

Friday will be the end of the above normal temperatures for a few day unfortunately.  A secondary front will push through on Friday night, another dry frontal passage, but will bring the chilly air back.  Daytime highs over the weekend will be back to normal, 30s and 40s across New England.  Conditions should remain dry through the weekend, with our next storm potentially arrive on Tuesday.  This storm could be interesting depending on how much cold air it can tap into from Eastern Canada.  It looks like some places may see some snow out of this storm, particularly in Northern New England.  Timing and path of the storm will also play a role in who sees what.

So enjoy the warmth we will have today and tomorrow, this should go a long way to helping get rid of the remaining snow cover in Southern and Central New England.
