Residents of southern New England are currently experiencing unexpected, late October warmth, with towns in the area seeing temperatures hover near 80 degrees, as reported by Boston 25 News. However, this brief summer-like pause is expected to end on Saturday with the arrival of a cold front.

On Saturday, high temperatures are forecast to maintain around 80 degrees, under fair skies with potential for a late-day shower, according to NBC Boston. Southern New England is bracing itself to quickly transition from unseasonably warm to starkly cool conditions over the weekend.
By Sunday, temperatures are projected to dramatically drop, reaching daytime highs only in the 50s—that's a considerable 20-degree difference from Saturday. These cooler conditions will be marked by limited sunshine, cloud buildup and possible evening showers as elaborated by another NBC Boston report.
Demonstrating the fall season's volatility, a procession of fronts and low-pressure systems will cruise over the region. Resulting rainfall is expected to persist into Monday, with the intensity of showers peaking between Sunday night and Monday morning, according to Boston 25 News.
