High pressure settles in for a short time Thursday, and that means sunshine and milder temperatures. Afternoon highs reach the mid to upper 50s with a westerly breeze and mostly sunny skies. The clouds increase Thursday evening as a warm front lifts from the south and this may trigger a few sprinkles.
Thursday night, our temps fall to the 40s as clouds and rain move in. The showers could be heavy at times overnight and through Friday afternoon. There is also a chance for some brief wet snowflakes to mix into higher elevations across central New England Friday morning.
