3/28/2012 A mild rain will fall.

A warm front will push through New England today bringing a few need rain showers along with it. 

The first batch of rain, which will be light, will fall this morning between 9 and 11 AM, and mostly be confined to the NH/MA border.

Another line of rain will move through the Boston area between 1230 and 130 this afternoon. There could be a heavier shower, but will be over by 2 PM.

 An area of Low pressure tracking into Quebec will have a cold front trailing along it and this will push into the region by this evening.  There is the chance that southern parts of New England may see a rumble of thunder or at least a heavier shower around 7 PM tonight.

High pressure off of the Carolinas will usher in milder air ahead of a cold front poised to sweep across the northeast today. Cooler air is behind this front, but not as cold as the past 2 days.

The weather pattern has changed significantly from last week and is more typical of an early Spring, April Pattern. This means that we can expect, waves of colder air to move in, followed by spells of warmth as an almost regular interval. This is what is seen for the next 2 weeks.

An area of low pressure will track to the South of New England Friday night. On its northern edge, a band of snow may develop. While the low will stay south and not track up the coast, an area of brief but heavy snow could fall in SW Mass through CT and Rhode Island overnight Friday. Amounts are still not known, but the ground could get covered in the darker blue areas. A lighter snow could fall for the remainder of Mass with a mix along the coasts and the Cape.  Finer details to come. Of note: Some models keep it too warm to snow or just bring in the chance for a mix.
