Sunday looks mostly cloudy with possible light rain or snow showers. There is a better chance of rain showers than snow showers, and even if the precipitation is snow, it should be mild enough to prevent any accumulation. Highs will in the upper 30s inland, and in the low 40s near the coast.
Monday will be partly to mostly cloudy and cool, with highs in the upper 30s to low 40s. A storm will develop in the Atlantic Ocean by Monday night, and it may come close enough to bring rain and/or snow to Southern New England. The precipitation type and intensity is uncertain. The best chance for steady precipitation is in Eastern MA, but the colder air will likely be found inland. The potential exists for a light accumulating snow, but it also may be a bit too warm for that to happen. Right now, the timeframe looks like Monday night through Tuesday. We’ll keep you posted.
