Overview: A ridge of high pressure will build in from the west tonight, resulting in pushing the stalled cold front and storm system out to sea. Expect clear skies and cold temperatures tonight through the day Friday.
On Saturday, a weak disturbance will move through Northern New England. This will bring some clouds and a slight chance of rain-snow showers. Also, the weak disturbance will help bring in southerly winds into the region. Expect temperatures to rise around to above freezing this weekend. Great news for the start of the spring thaw.
