More rain on the way

We'll squeeze one nice day out today before a few days of unsettled weather.

Today:  Partly to mostly sunny today, highs in the upper 50s and low 60s south, in the upper 40s and low 50s north.

Tonight:  Increasing clouds, chance of rain showers south, snow showers north, lows in the upper 30s and low 40s south, near 30 north.

Tomorrow:  Cloudy, rain possible at times, especially in the afternoon, highs in the 50s south, near 50 north.  Best chance of rain will be in Southern New England.

Tomorrow night:  Showers possible, snow or mixed precipitation north, lows in the upper 30s and low 40s south, upper 20s to near 30 north.

Wednesday:  Rain chances continue, highs around 50 south, 40s north.

Discussion:

We'll manage a nice day today before a warm front extending eastward from a developing low pressure system in the Central US.  Temperatures will be mild and we'll see a decent amount of sunshine.  Tonight is when conditions will gradually start to deteriorate.  The warm front will start to press in from the west and this will bring clouds and rain chances.

Temperatures are going to be cold enough in spots across New England to provide some wintry precipitation during overnight hours with this storm.  I'm not expecting any significant accumulations with this storm, but more of an annoyance than anything Eventually this storm will pass off to our north and west on Wednesday evening.  So tonight through Thursday morning, we are looking at occasional rain chances here in New England.  I don't think we will have steady rain/snow/mix for more than an hour or two.  For the most part we'll be dealing with cloudy skies, cooler temperatures and periodic showers.

Once this storm clears, Thursday should bring improving weather and this should continue into Friday.  Looks like our next chance of rain will come on Saturday.

Sorry for the quick one today, preoccupied by a "can't sit still" toddler.  Thanks for reading!
