Temperatures at dawn were milder than the past few mornings, mostly between 25 and 35 degrees, but readings stayed near 40 along the south coast due to a brisk wind. Satellite pictures showed lingering clouds exiting the coast early this morning, so the day will start off with plenty of sunshine throughout the region. A cold front will push south from the Saint Lawrence valley this afternoon, causing skies to cloud over by late afternoon. The front will cross southern New England tonight, and may be accompanied by a little rain or snow. On Monday, the front will become stationary over the mid Atlantic states, as high pressure builds into New England for a short time. Low pressure developing over the Tennessee valley Monday will track northeast into New York state Tuesday. Due to cold air trapped near the ground, it will spread wintry precipitation in the form of snow, sleet, freezing rain or rain into southern New England late Monday into Tuesday. By Tuesday night, a gusty south wind will bring mild air into the region, and cause the mixed precipitation to change to all rain. === The weather observed at WORCESTER at 07:54 AM EST was: === The skies were clear.
