Any snow will taper to flurries, drizzle, mist, or light rain by early Wednesday afternoon. It will stay damp through the day, with some clearing at night. The temperature will climb into the mid to upper 30s in the afternoon, but it will not be enough to melt the snow in areas that see more than one inch. When skies clear late at night, the temperature will fall below freezing, and it is a good setup for some black ice to form on the sidewalks, driveways, and roads.
Thursday looks relatively quiet with a blend of clouds and sun and highs around 40. An ocean storm may brush eastern MA with some snow Thursday night. As it departs, much colder air will move in briefly on Friday. The temperature will not make it out of the 20s in most places on Friday. The weekend will start out with some seasonable weather on Saturday, but another cold front promises the coldest air of the season by Monday. Sunday will be the transition day as the cold air starts to barrel in on a strong northwesterly wind. It should be plenty cold and windy at Gillette Stadium if the front passes through by Sunday afternoon as currently projected.
