A frontal system crosses through the region tonight and

morning. After steady rain exits, scattered showers and blustery
winds are expected as drier and cooler air filters into New 
England. Quiet, mild, and dry weather returns through early 
next week... becoming quite dry and gusty on Monday. Low 
pressure approaches the region toward mid-week, likely bringing
the next chance for widespread rain.
