Good afternoon from SCW.
I have to be honest. Some of my favorite forecasts are short and simple like this one. After a sunny but cold couple of days, we will see a very nice week ahead with rising temperatures and continued nice conditions. Will that warmth last? Let's see below...

GOES-E imagery from today showing sunny skies across New England. That white you see? The remainder of the snow cover that once blanketed Maine to Maryland!
Monday-Tuesday
Tomorrow currently looks like the coldest part of the forecast period. Sunny conditions will remain, but it will be a chilly day. Highs should be in the upper 30s to low 40s. The warm up looks to begin on Tuesday, as a warm front passes early in the morning and temperatures top out in the 50s. It will be nice, but not as nice as Wednesday and Thursday!
Wednesday-Friday
The warmest temperatures of the season so far are likely during this period as a ridge to our south becomes dominant for a time. Simply put, it is going to feel great. The shoreline will be a few degrees cooler as it'll be under the influence of the colder Long Island Sound. It'll be nice there nonetheless.
There may be some high clouds around on Wednesday and Thursday, but overall it looks sunny, nice, and warm. Highs will be in the 60s inland and upper 50s to low 60s at the shore. This seems like a decent setup for inland temperatures to overperform on Thursday especially, so we'll watch for that.
By Friday, we will be watching a front approach. That means that showers are possible but for now I think things will be mostly dry. Friday could be the warmest day of the week if the cold front stays to our west. I'm excited.

Above: GFS depiction of Thursday's temperatures. This is likely underdone by a few degrees.
Saturday-Sunday
Sadly, however, it looks like the warmth won't last terribly long. By the weekend the cold front should be approaching or past our region. That means temperatures drop back to near normal, and likely below normal further out past this forecast period. Conditions look fine during this period too but as GP mentioned, the longer range is looking more active.
The Dailies
Monday: Mostly sunny and seasonably cold. Highs is the upper 30s to low 40s.
Tuesday: Partly cloudy early, highs in the low to mid 50s.
Wednesday: Mostly sunny. Highs in the low to mid 60s inland and mid to upper 50s at the shoreline.
Thursday: Mostly sunny. Highs in the mid to upper 60s inland and upper 50s to low 60s at the shoreline.
Friday: Increasing clouds. Highs in the upper 60s to low 70s inland and upper 50s to low 60s at the shoreline. Chance of showers 30%.
Saturday: Mostly sunny and colder. Highs in the mid to upper 40s.
Sunday: Partly sunny. Highs in the low to mid 40s.
