Not a direct shot of Arctic air, but more of a glancing blow, will come across the region during the next 36 hours. This is being lead in by some clouds and even a few very light snow showers this afternoon (one is occurring here NW of Boston at the time of this writing, around 3PM). The overall pattern is dry and rather chilly, with the coldest day of the next several to be tomorrow. A moderating trend may occur sometime next week but at this time there are no major storms in sight, just minor disturbances marking air mass changes. The best chance of seeing any snow showers will be with a disturbance passing through on Friday morning.
