A possible nor’easter is headed to southern New England next week that could bring rain and wind for most and snow for some in the higher elevations.
While cooler and drier conditions are expected early next week, the National Weather Service in Boston/Norton says guidance is starting to pick up on the possible development of another low-pressure system that could bring more unsettled weather to Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut later in the week.
In its latest Area Forecast Discussion, NWS Boston noted that cooler and drier conditions are forecast to arrive next week. However, it could turn unsettled once more toward the second half of the week.
According to the discussion, guidance has begun to show the possible development of another low-pressure system originating just to the south of the region, along or just off the Mid-Atlantic coast. This potential system appears to be driven by the approach of an upper-level shortwave tracking from Canada southeast into the Mid-Atlantic region.
With this possible system, the National Weather Service said the region could see the return of more unsettled conditions for the second half of the week. Specifics have not yet been nailed down as the system remains in the early stages of guidance.
