There will be rain at times throughout the day on Thursday, April 15, starting in the mid-morning after scattered morning showers arrived around daybreak.

Thursday will be brisk, with the high temperature only in the mid 40s, and wind strength around 10 miles per hour.

The precipitation will continue overnight into Friday, April 16.

"As the storm intensifies just off the coast Thursday night, some heavier snow could develop over interior New England or eastern New York, which could help bring at least a mix of snow to some spots even in the Hudson or Connecticut River valleys," AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Dave Dombek said.

Friday will be cloudy and more rain at times and a high temperature in the upper 40s.

About 2 inches of rainfall is expected from Wednesday afternoon until Friday night.

Skies are expected to clear and temperatures will begin to climb during the weekend.
