The broad but strong surface low is running into high pressure in Quebec. The upper-level system is also large so a wide band of intense precipitation is making its way into Southern New England while the surface center is hundreds of miles south. Here is the Northeast Regional Radar.

It looks like something a 4-year-old brings home from preschool and calls "art". If I were a parent and my child brought this home it would go right on the fridge. This simulated radar captures rain, sleet, snow, and freezing rain in one snap shot. Temperatures do not warm at the upper levels until the low-level storm center gets closer to New England. This happens tomorrow morning. Widespread heavy showers (occasional thunderstorms?)

I expect the showers to increase in the afternoon. This is more likely in Eastern MA and RI.

Temperatures will remain at or a few degrees above freezing for the next several days. Later this week temperatures will return to normal for late January/early February,
