Forecast: Blustery End To Week, With Snow Expected Saturday

A pair of cold days is on the way with temperatures staying under the freezing mark for most, if not all of southern New England Thursday. Friday highs will be a couple of degrees milder, with Cape Cod and the Islands breaking the freezing mark by a degree or two.

It will be blustery the rest of the work week, making the cold air feel that much colder. A weekend storm is still on the way with snow likely for all areas, including Cape Cod, before a possible change to sleet/freezing rain and rain later Saturday night.

The trend with this storm is for a colder one and therefore, at this stage, snow looks to be the predominate form the precipitation will take. This won't be a blockbuster snowstorm. The reason is the system will not intensify greatly as it passes Nantucket and moves out to sea early Sunday. Therefore, a light to moderate, not major amount of snow is likely.
