Just enough cold air in Maine, central and northern New Hampshire and eastern Vermont made for plenty of ice on the roads Friday morning.
As a southerly wind increases, we are slowly seeing warmth, already in southern New England, making its way northward to change freezing rain over to plain rain for northern New England.
Eventually, temperatures hit the 60s in southern New England and 50s north as periodic rain and areas of fog make for a damp day. As rain breaks into leftover showers Friday evening, cooler and drier air drops temperatures below freezing for many communities overnight Friday night, which may result in patchy black ice, though most of New England likely avoids this.
Holy Saturday brings a northeast wind, blowing off the ocean, which will keep New England's eastern coastlines cool in the 40s, contrasted to 50s farther inland, but that onshore wind also will add enough moisture for a number of clouds in southern New England, with brighter skies farther north.
Easter Sunday looks quiet and fair, with seasonable temperatures in the 50s after sunrise temperatures in the 20s and 30s.
Next week features bookends of rain - a cool rain on Monday, then warming temperatures through the week eventually push New England into the 60s, meaning a milder rain with a chance of thunder by next Friday. The early call on next weekend is that Saturday may be better than Sunday...but it's early.
