Some warmer weather is on the way, but it won’t last too long.

High pressure remains in control into Friday with clear skies and seasonably cool temperatures tonight. We’ll start to warm up a bit on Friday, but also see clouds move in ahead of a weak upper-level disturbance and a warm front. The upper-level disturbance may produce a late-day shower across parts of southern New Hampshire and northern Massachusetts, but most of us will still dry. Low pressure heading into the Great Lakes will send a warm front our way Friday night, with a better chance for showers across the region. Behind the front, we’ll have a significant warmup on Saturday, with many locations away from the South Coast topping 70, but southwest to south winds will keep the South Coast and Cape Cod in the 60s or even 50s, as water temperatures remain rather chilly. Across inland locations, if we get enough sunny breaks, some places may even break 80. A cold front moves through late in the day, possibly producing a few more showers. High pressure builds in behind the front for Easter Sunday with breezy and cooler weather, but many locations will still top 60. For Patriots Day on Monday, we’ll see clouds moving back in with some showers by evening as another system approaches, but again we should top 60, cooler along the coast thanks to seabreezes.

Thursday night: Clear skies. Low 33-40.
