Mild now, but trending colder

This is the mildest day of the week as we’ll begin a cooling trend tomorrow. The weather pattern is an active one this week with a few rounds of precipitation as the jet stream wind, the storm track hovers overhead.  This warm front  may give us some pre-dawn snow and rain showers Tuesday with a second round rain showers Tuesday evening as the low pressure area passes through.

Wednesday night and Thursday we’ll be watching a warm front edging in. With cold enough air to the north of that front for wintry precipitation, we’ll see a rain-ice line set up somewhere across southern New England.  Where that ends up will determine who gets the treacherous travel conditions. Stay tuned!
