The weather, currently.
A storm system to the west of New England will bring rain and eventually some snow to the area late Thursday into Friday. As colder air works in the rain will change to snow even along the coast Friday morning. There could be a coating to a couple of inches.
Temperatures will only be near 40°F with the clouds on Thursday and staying in the '30s on Friday. The weekend looks dry with some sun on Saturday but also a lot of clouds. More precipitation arrives overnight Sunday into early Monday. Right now it looks like rain is warmer air moves in. Another system comes for later Wednesday and Thursday. There could be enough cold air with this one for a more significant snow event but that is into the future.
