NOTE: On this day in 2018 we received over 6 inches of snow most of it during the evening commute which caused massive traffic delays.
Today will be a seasonably cool day with light winds. A frontal system will give us showers and even a possible thunderstorm tonight ending before daybreak on Sunday. Temperatures should stay steady in the 50s overnight.
The low pressure will then move off the New England coast on Sunday and along with high pressure building from the west will cause strong winds again on Sunday with gusts to near 40 mph. Early temperatures in the 50s will drop to the 40s in the afternoon.
Mostly sunny on Monday but it still will be breezy and cool with some gusts to 30 mph.
Dry and cool Tuesday through the day on Thursday with much less wind.
Another frontal system approaching our area may give us some showers Thursday night into Friday along with milder temperatures.
