The weather in New England takes a turn as drier air moves in following the passage of a cold front Saturday. Mostly clear skies last night allowed the temperatures to drop into the 30s.
Expect a bright and breezy Sunday, although the tail end of an upper-level storm system may bring a few extra clouds and isolated showers to parts of northern and central New England. Highs will be in the upper 40s and low 50s. Monday and Tuesday maintain this calm weather pattern but high temperatures dip to the low 40s.
As Tuesday progresses, expect an uptick in cloud cover. Looking ahead to Wednesday, the major travel day, a wet scenario is likely for the Boston metro area and a significant portion of New England. Brace for slower traffic and potential congestion if you're traveling to your holiday destination on Wednesday.
