As we head into the weekend, high pressure rules Saturday — a morning with temperatures in the 20s — but we rebound nicely to the 50s during the afternoon under a mainly sunny sky. Saturday is the pick of the weekend.
The forecast turns tricky for Easter Sunday. It looks like we will be sandwiched between a front and a surface trough that could yield light drizzle or flurries Saturday night into Sunday morning for western New England, with a blend of clouds and sun lingering all day.

It looks like a typical spring setup for the region when we get cooler conditions at the coast with 60s and sunshine across the Connecticut River Valley.
