Crisp morning chill in New England to quickly warm up with sunshine; pop-up showers possible
Nice cool, crisp morning! Sun will quickly help bounce us out of the chilly air, however. And while the pattern remains quiet, it's not without a few showery highlights. A large upper-level low pressure system is spinning overhead. This will allow clouds to snuff out our morning sunshine and keep us on the cool end of things this afternoon. We'll only manage the upper 60s to low 70s as some of these clouds to build into widely scattered showers as well.
