The coldest weather in nearly eight months is heading for New England in the middle of the week. Highs will struggle to reach 35 on Wednesday – even with some sunshine. There could be snow showers or flurries as warmer air tries to arrive late Wednesday night. The temperature should reach the 40s on Thursday before a reinforcing cold shot arrives for Friday into the weekend.
Highs may not make it out of the 30s again on Saturday. Sunday looks milder, with highs in the 40s to possibly low 50s with enough sunshine. The next storm that will hit Southern New England will likely bring rain and mild weather early next week. Unlike this week, there could be a second storm that follows on the heels of the first, bringing more rain in the middle of the week. The track and development of the second storm is still in question, and we’ll be watching the trends closely.
Looking ahead to Thanksgiving, now it looks dry and cool, but not brutally cold. The general trend of cold/dry weather followed by wet/mild weather may continue into early December.
