Light snow was reported in northern New York and Vermont. The cloudy skies in southern New England kept temperatures from cooling too much. So by early morning, temperatures ranged through the upper teens and 20s. Scattered snow showers may reach southwest New Hampshire and northeast Massachusetts this morning, but any snow would be less than an inch. The area of clouds will move off to the east by midday, bringing increasing sunshine to southern New England. Temperatures today will be milder than Saturday, topping out in the 40s. The mild spell will continue into Sunday and Monday as well. Sunshine and a light southwest wind will allow temperatures Sunday to climb into the 50s. Although Monday will feature more clouds, the mild air will already be in place, so temperatures will once again reach the 50s. === The weather observed at WORCESTER, MA at 07:54 AM EST was: === The skies were mostly cloudy.
