Low pressure moving off the New England coast in combination with high pressure north of the Great Lakes will give us a brisk northwest flow of colder and drier air today. Temperatures will fall from the upper 30s early this morning to near 30 by sunset. Winds gusting at times above 25 mph will make it feel colder.
The high pressure will be over us Sunday morning and with light winds the early morning temperatures will fall well down into the teens. The daytime highs will be in the 30s with continued light winds. A weak warm front will give us a chance of light snow at night.
Monday will be partly sunny and mild but a cold front will come through in the afternoon.
Tuesday will still be dry with temperatures a little lower than Monday.
A frontal system will give us a good chance of light snow on Wednesday mixing with sleet and freezing rain at night and change to all rain on Thursday along with milder temperatures.
High pressure will then build into our area for Friday giving us a mostly sunny day with seasonably mild temperatures.
