Temperatures were in the mid 30s to mid 40s just before sunrise. The cold front will move off the coast this morning, followed by a northwest flow of drier air into the region. High pressure over the midwest will build over New England tonight and Monday, then become stationary off the coast by Tuesday. This will set up a mild southerly flow of air for at least the first part of the week. Wet weather will probably return later in the week, as a cold front approaches from the Great Lakes, and a series of low pressure centers travel along it. === The weather observed at WORCESTER, MA at 07:54 AM EST was: === The skies were clear.
