An area of light to moderate rain was just southeast of Nantucket this morning, and moving northeast. Temperatures ranged from the mid 30s across southern New Hampshire, into the lower 40s over Cape Cod and the islands. A pair of low pressures, one over southern Quebec and the other over the upper peninsula of Michigan, will affect our weather today and tonight. The Quebec low pressure will swing a cold front through southern New England today. This front should result in scattered sprinkles or light showers. The Michigan low pressure is expected to arrive on Sunday with another cold front. This time however, temperatures should fall enough to result in a changeover from rain showers to snow showers. Weak high pressure moves in Sunday night into Monday, with a return of drier weather. === The weather observed at WORCESTER at 07:54 AM EST was: === The skies were clear.
