.DISCUSSION...
A weak front will bring scattered rain and snow showers tonight.
Low pressure tracks to the south later Thursday and Thursday
night and may graze the Cape and Islands with some light snow but
latest indications are that most if not all the precipitation
from this system will remain south of New England.
.OUTLOOK...Friday through Tuesday...
High pressure builds in for Friday, then moves offshore Friday
night followed by a SW flow of milder temperatures on Saturday. A
cold front drops south across the region Saturday night followed
colder temperatures and the risk of some light snow or snow
showers Sunday. A shot of arctic air returns Sunday night, then
another storm system may impact the region sometime Monday or
Tuesday but it may also remain to the south.
