Columbus Day will be mostly sunny, breezy, and warm in Southeastern New England. Highs will be around 10° above normal for mid-October. It will stay relatively mild on Tuesday in spite of more clouds and possibly a few stray showers. Cooler weather arrives through the midweek.
A cold shot is possible next weekend. It may be preceded by showers on Friday. If the core of the cold weather reaches Southern New England, then there could be sub-freezing low temperatures inland next weekend. It’s still unclear if it will be a glancing blow or the full brunt of the cool air. In any event, you expect it to be cooler than normal next weekend.
The cold weather will likely not stay around for too long. A surge of milder air will arrive in the early to middle part of next week. Showers are possible late in the week. Overall, the pattern looks mainly dry for the next two weeks.
