Discussion
High pressure will slide off the northern New England coastline today and this will allow moisture to advance into our region from the southwest. While there can be a few rain showers today, the heaviest and steadiest rainfall during this next precipitation event will hold off until late today, tonight and Saturday. Also, as the initial rain showers move into the region this morning, it will be just cold enough for ice pellets to mix in at times; especially, in suburban locations. Behind the system on Sunday, clearing skies will take place with a chilly wind, and it’ll stay colder-than-normal for this time of year. After that, attention will turn to the coastline for the possibility of a strong storm to form in the "late Monday/Tuesday/early Wednesday" time frame.
