Back And Forth

It's a tough day in New England Patriots' territory so we are going to make this as painless as possible. :)

'Back and forth' describes the temperature this winter.  We have a shot of cold air followed by the return of mild  air within a day or two. The peaks and valleys have had lower wave heights (not as drastic temperature swings) and have had less frequency when compared to an average New England winter. 

It's going to be a good-looking day with mostly sunny skies, a warm southwest wind, and highs in the middle and upper 40s.

A few weak disturbances will be affecting us in a minor ways.  Tuesday will be sunny with more midday clouds as a cold front sweeps through the region.  Highs will remain mild in the middle 40s.  However, cold air advection will be felt on Wednesday in the wake of the cold front.  Highs on Wednesday will be in the middle and upper 30s with a few flurries and snow showers possible for the South Coast, Cape, and Islands. This is due to a wave of low pressure riding along the same cold front that will pass through our backyards on Tuesday.

Thursday will be the product of high pressure...sunshine accompanied by high temps in the lower 40s.  A 'dry' cold front will move across the area on Friday. This will open up the gates for cold air to seep southward, but that chill won't be felt until this weekend. Highs on Friday will remain in the 40s.
