The sun will return on Friday and stay through the weekend.

Tonight: Cloudy skies, with a touch of snow likely toward dawn. Lows in the lower 30s (1°C) along the Cape down to the mid 20s (-3°C) further inland. The chance of snow is 70 percent.

Wednesday: Snow quickly changing to freezing rain inland with rain more likely in Boston. Winds increasing along the coast. Highs ranging from the upper 30s (4°C) along the coast and the lower 30s (1°C) more inland. The chance of precipitation is near 100 percent.
