The heavy rain will push to Maine by dawn, and Friday afternoon should turn out nicer. Then, another low pressure will come up the coast on Saturday and with colder air in place a few wet snowflakes are possible. No accumulation is expected in the Boston area, but up here in NH and inch or so is possible.
