Our 'eyes' are focusing on a low pressure system that will jet from the midwest and head into southern New England and the mid-Atlantic states tonight through Saturday afternoon.
The core of the low will stay offshore and to our south.
However, every model is showing snow showers/mix affecting our viewing area after midnight tonight into Saturday afternoon between 2 and 5 p.m.
The precipitation will taper off between 2 and 5 p.m. from western and central Massachusetts to the Cape/Islands where it will stop towards the tail end of that time frame.
Depending on the exact track of the low, there may be an inch or two of slushy snow for higher elevations of central Massachusetts.
Westernmost of the area will have a rain/snow mix late tonight and the mix switching to rain showers before shutting off.
Sunday (a.k.a. April Fools Day) will be sunny thoughout the morning before afternoon clouds fill-in and showers develop during the evening.
Areas across northern New England will see snowflakes mixing in with the raindrops. High temps will be in the lower to middle 50s.
The jetstream flow that is basically zonal will induce a fast-moving, progressive pattern throughout the next 7 days.
Temperatures also look like they'll stay cool through mid-April.
Happy FRRRiday!
