We need a little bit a warm warmup, especially coming out of the last weekend some time to thaw out. Right now seasonable temperatures as we headed into this afternoon. We did top out at 40 degrees in bedford, norwood as well, 35 for boston, were sitting just a degree below most of those marks marks.

Little bit breezy for us tomorrow. But then a really nice day for us to enjoy on sunday as that breeze dies down. Before we get there though, we do have a few flakes heading into our area and thats actually due to a warm front. That warm front is giving us enough lift and moisture to pop those snow flicks out of the sky as we head into the overnight hours but its not a lot of moisture so it wont be a lot of snow. This one sliding through southern quebec and it wont even bother us aside from that warm front thats moving through overnight tonight in through early tomorrow morning. So running through the time line you can see by about 10 00 p. M. And two hours either side of midnight we could see those snow showers but then the milder air starts to work in from the south you see these temperatures popping up to the mid to upper 30s by 3 00 a. M. And were chewing away at that snow line possibly some sleet pellets as you get into worcester currently overnight tonight by early tomorrow morning by daybreak i think six, 6 00 in the morning were sufficient looking at rain showers drying up by midday but cant rule out a pop sprinkle as we get into the afternoon and evening hours. So how much snow is on the way . Not much and really nothing if you are south of the city. Southeastern mass and south shore, cape cod an islands but a coating to an inch is a possibility. The more northwest you get, north of the mass pike, whatever tomorrow. Precipitation very early in the mo about, a 30 shot then again a pop sprinkle not out of the question as we get into evening hours. Overnight tonight temperatures not dropping like they did overnight last night, 27 to 35 for us and then tomorrow 46 to 5 55 feeling more like april than like february. Luck at these highs. Even making it into the mid 50s some spots. Waltham 55, framingham at 55 as well and down in southeastern mass 50 for plymouth and a little cooler for cape cod. Were talking mid to upper 40s for highs tomorrow. But this does not mean stay off the slopes because really its a fantastic ski weekend as well. Those temperatures a touch cooler even though snow showers getting the slopes tomorrow. Now watching out for a couple of shots at snow as we get into next week. First chance will be overnight sunday into monday. This looks to be a system that just grazes us, but it could actually bring us some snow and rain snow mix for that morning commute monday morning. We are waving that one as well making these head loins for wednesday. Snow, mix, rain, how much, where the timing, all still to be determined so. Stay tuned on that one.
