Mostly clear skies are in the forecast Monday before a mix of snow and rain returns Tuesday, according to the National Weather Service.
The region got a dusting of snow Sunday before the clouds gave way to mostly sunny skies. The forecast calls for a low of 17 degrees overnight into early Monday.
Monday will be sunny and chilly, with a high just below freezing, the weather service said. The low Monday evening will dip to about 22.
Tuesday morning could bring a little more snow, less than an inch, turning to rain as the day grows warmer toward noon, forecasters said. The rain is expected to continue into the evening. The high Tuesday will be about 40, with an overnight low approaching 36.
For the rest of the week, the weather looks "kind of unsettled," said Jay Engle, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Upton. A chance of scattered rain lingers, ranging between 30% and 60%. But temperatures will be mild, he said.
Wednesday's high is expected to hit about 45, with a 30% chance of rain in the morning. Thursday will be warmer still, reaching 50 in the day and dropping to 37 by the evening. Rain is likely in the afternoon.
The forecast for Friday is for a high of 45 and, once again a chance of rain.
