Expect a quiet to the weekend as tomorrow will feature highs in the low 80s and not much else.  Monday and Tuesday are a rather interesting forecast though.  There is a cold front that will be approaching New England from the Northwest, but the timing of the front should be interesting.

Right now it appears that the timing will be such that Eastern portions of New England may miss out on the chance for good thunderstorms.  On Monday afternoon and evening the position of the front will allow for thunderstorms to enter Western portions of New England; then slide east as the night progresses.  Still a couple of days away, but portions of Western CT and Western MA looked to have a chance at a few stronger storms.  As any convection that enters New England Monday evening slides east, expect it to weaken as night falls.

Then on Tuesday, the cold front will have moved into New England and by Tuesday morning it should basically be right in our neighborhood.  Meaning that we could potentially miss out on a chance of thunderstorms on Tuesday because the front will be through the area before we have a chance to warm up the atmosphere.  Right now though I will say that even though the front’s location will prevent us from any really exciting weather, there is definitely a chance of a shower or storm on Tuesday.

As is always the case with forecasting the weather, a forecast is subject to change.  Especially one like this that deals with the timing of a frontal passage.  Speed the front up by a few hours and Monday could be exciting for all.  Or slow the front down for a few hours and Tuesday could become exciting.
