Big blue high pressure sitting over us is providing a calmer day with less of a wind chill factor. This high will be pulling off the coast and begin to wrap in warmer SW during the afternoon.

Clouds will thicken in advance of the rain this afternoon with showers arriving in western New England around sunset. Showers will be reaching the coast between 6-8 PM...
Breezy NW winds will develop today as this low departs with cooler drier air on the move behind a cold front pushing off the coast. Winds will gust to 20 to 30 mph adding a chill to the air. Temps in the 30's this AM south will climb only into the Lwr 40's by the afternoon because of the cold air advection from Canada. Cooler 20's across the north will keep temps in the 30's.
