We have a typical New England spring day Wednesday with a tale of the Haves and The Have Nots. An east wind has blown in clouds already to the South Shore, the Cape and islands on a northeast wind. This will keep our temps in the 40s for the rest of the day, with drizzle developing at the coast by sunset.

Friday will feel more late winter-ish, with some flakes mixing in with rain showers. The rain will be in New England on Friday morning predawn, with snow showers in higher elevations. The snow throughout the day does battle the high sun angle, and a thawed ground. So scattered coatings to 3 inches of snow at the mountain peaks can be expected through Friday night. The rest of the northeast will see rain.
The storm wraps up early afternoon with cold air from the northwest. This switches Boston to the wet snowflake mix briefly before exiting. It gets quite windy Friday evening with northwest gusts 40-50 mph.

Then the wind will be around 30 mph from the west on Saturday. But thankfully highs reach the 50s to low 60s with sunshine.
Cooler temps return Sunday with highs in the mid 40s. Our next storm system may move in Monday as a surface low develops. Depending on the track, we may see rain to snow, but stay tuned since this can still change.
