The tranquil weather that has been over New England will come to a sharp end this Wednesday as a coastal storm tracks up the coast. This low will track south of New England and bring some rain showers north of it on Thursday night and Friday. However , the storm will drag in much colder air as it exits the coast. Some of the end precipitation may end as some wet snowflakes with some areas seeing a possible dusting of snow. Not likely in Boston, but if enough cold air works in a few flakes may be seen.

Then, with some colder air in place, another storm, which a majority of the weather models develop a storm of the DelMarVa and bring the possibility of a major coastal storm to New England Saturday afternoon into Sunday. The air will be cold enough that some of the early models are predicting an early snowfall for much of New England.
The storm may take on a bit of a tropical feature with a calm center passing over Cape Cod late Saturday into Sunday, however, winds around the storm could gust as high as 60mph +

| And yes, it will be cold enough for the possibility of a snowstorm away from the coastline. This model is putting out a swath of 5" snows from Concord NH to Maine and a 4" swatch along 495. Lesser at the coast and none from the southshore to the Cape. |
This forecast is likely to change some, but the models are coming into agreement that there will likely be a strong storm coming this weekend with colder air.
