The weather will be more tranquil but also cooler for a good chunk of the extended holiday weekend.

Low pressure pulls away this evening with rain ending, and skies slowly clearing out overnight. High pressure builds in for Thanksgiving with sunshine and seasonably cool temperatures, but it will remain breezy as our low pressure system continues to intensify in Atlantic Canada. Another cold front moves through on Friday, but with only a few clouds accompanying it. Behind it, even colder air will settle in for Friday night and Saturday on gusty northwest winds. Temperatures on Saturday likely stay in the 30s for highs, with lows Saturday night dropping into the 20s, with some teens in the normally colder locations. Keep this in mind if you’ll be out during the day Saturday or at night. Temperatures will start to moderate on Sunday, but clouds will also stream in ahead of both a low pressure system moving off the Mid-Atlantic coast and another cold front moving in from the west. A period of rain showers seems likely Sunday night into Monday morning as the low passes by offshore and the cold front moves in. Temperatures may be marginally cold enough for some snow to mix in at the start well north and west of Boston. We’ll start to clear out behind both systems Monday afternoon.
