Wednesday Forecast

7:32AM

DAYS 1-5 (MARCH 16-20)…
Low pressure departs to the east while a warm front approaches from the west today. Lots of clouds will dominate with the best chance of sun breaks over the interior this morning and early afternoon. An episode of rain will cross the region with the warm front tonight and this will lead to a murky start for St. Patrick’s Day Thursday then a spring-like feel as we get into the warmer air at the surface. However, with cold air aloft and an approaching low pressure trough, rain showers and thunderstorms may develop in parts of the region during the afternoon and evening. A stronger cold front will push through the region from north to south on Friday with a few rain/snow showers then much colder air coming in for the weekend. We’ll be watching a storm approaching from the southwest by late in the weekend which will bring a threat of snow Sunday night, in the early hours of actual Spring (we’ve seen it before, nothing new here in New England).
TODAY: Mostly cloudy to partly sunny. Highs upper 40s to middle 50s. Wind NW 5-15 MPH, higher gusts, shifting back to NE.
TONIGHT: Cloudy. A period of rain. Areas of fog. Lows upper 30s to lower 40s. Wind E 5-15 MPH shifting to SE.
THURSDAY: Partly cloudy. Chance of late-day rain showers and possible thunderstorms. Highs ranging from the upper 40s South Coast to lower 60s interior MA and southwestern NH. Wind SW 10-20 MPH and gusty.
FRIDAY: Partly sunny to mostly cloudy and windy. Chance of rain showers, eventually a few snow showers. Temperatures fall to 40s AM, 30s PM.
SATURDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 20s. Highs in the 30s.
SUNDAY: Clouding up. Chance of snow at night. Lows in the 20s. Highs in the 30s.

DAYS 6-10 (MARCH 21-25)…
Snow/mix possible to start March 21 then improving but windy and colder through March 22. Fair and milder to warmer March 24. Chance of rain or rain showers March 24 followed by fair weather again March 25 as we remain in a pattern of quick-moving systems.

DAYS 11-15 (MARCH 26-30)…
Still looking like a progressive pattern with up and down temperatures and quick-passing weather systems bringing precipitation threats.

Tuesday Forecast

7:34AM

DAYS 1-5 (MARCH 15-19)…
A broad and complex low pressure area continues to drift through the region today with additional wet weather, though the heaviest rain is moving away slowly and what is left will be mostly lighter rain/drizzle today, becoming more intermittent with time. A break Wednesday between this departing system and an approaching warm front which may bring some wet weather Wednesday night. The warm air mass arrives for St. Patrick’s Day Thursday but an approaching cold front may trigger a few rain showers and even a thunderstorms that evening. That front and a secondary one, which may trigger a rain or snow shower Friday, will deliver a much colder air mass for the start of the weekend.
TODAY: Cloudy. Rain and drizzle becoming more intermittent with time. Areas of fog this morning. Highs in the 40s. Wind E to NE 10-20 MPH with higher gusts.
TONIGHT: Cloudy. Chance of drizzle early. Lows in the middle 30s to lower 40s. Wind N to NW 5-15 MPH.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly cloudy to partly sunny. Highs upper 40s to middle 50s. Wind NW 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.

SATURDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 20s. Highs in the 30s.

DAYS 6-10 (MARCH 20-24)…
Cold with a chance of snow or mix late March 20 ending March 21 depending on development and track of low pressure both upper level and surface. Dry, colder March 22 and milder March 23. Chance of rain March 24.

DAYS 11-15 (MARCH 25-29)…
Looking like a progressive pattern with up and down temperatures and quick-passing weather systems bringing precipitation threats.

Monday Forecast

7:18AM

DAYS 1-5 (MARCH 14-18)…
Broad low pressure area drifts northeastward through the region today and Tuesday with wet weather, mainly rain that may start as a sleet/snow mix in some interior areas later today, then a tapering off of rain during Tuesday. The midweek period will be unsettled as some additional disturbances move through the region with a broad trough in place. A couple cold fronts may cause a rain or snow shower Friday as cold air begins to move in.
TODAY: Cloudy. Rain develops mid to late afternoon from southwest to northeast, may start as a mix of sleet and snow especially higher elevations of north central MA and southwestern NH. Highs upper 30s to middle 40s. Wind NE to E 5-15 MPH.

Up and down temperatures. A few systems pass through with threats of precipitation as the pattern is unsettled.

Sunday Forecast

8:22AM

DAYS 1-5 (MARCH 13-17)…
A short update as not much has changed in the overall thinking of the pattern. Just a few adjustments, especially to temperature forecasts, which always give me trouble this time of year…
TODAY: Lots of high clouds filter the sun this morning. Less high clouds allow brighter sun this afternoon. Highs in the 50s. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Clouds return and then thicken overnight. Lows upper 20s to middle 30s. Wind light NE.

DAYS 11-15 (MARCH 23-27)…
Temperatures variable, near to slightly below normal overall, with an unsettled pattern bringing a couple of precipitation threats (no change to yesterday’s outlook here – just too much uncertainty this far out at this time).

Saturday Forecast

7:45AM

DAYS 1-5 (MARCH 12-16)…
High pressure brings fair weather this weekend. Just a weak cold front from the north will make Sunday a little cooler than today in most areas. Low pressure moves in from the southwest early next week with rain arriving Monday, peaking Monday night, then lingering as only spotty rain/drizzle during Tuesday. Broad trough remains in the area Wednesday but the initial surface low pressure area is well to the east and a second one is well to the west or northwest of the region so some partial improvement is likely.
TODAY: Sunny. Highs upper 50s to middle 60s. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows middle 30s to lower 40s. Wind light W.
SUNDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs in the 50s. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.
MONDAY: Cloudy. PM rain. Lows 35-45. Highs 45-55.

DAYS 6-10 (MARCH 17-21)…
Cooling trend and windy with a risk of rain showers March 17 and isolated rain or snow showers March 18. Fair March 19. Risk of unsettled weather and possibly cold enough for mix and snow March 20-21.

DAYS 11-15 (MARCH 22-26)…
Temperatures variable, near to slightly below normal overall, with an unsettled pattern bringing a couple of precipitation threats.

Friday Forecast

7:18AM

DAYS 1-5 (MARCH 11-15)…
A few adjustments on today’s update but no major changes. Less chilly air in the short term is one change, so bumped temperatures up for the next few days. Overall weather still expected to be about the same as previously expected with departing wet weather system today replaced by dry weather through the weekend, then a new storm system arriving from the southwest to start next week with more wet weather.
TODAY: Lingering rain ends northwest to southeast through mid morning followed by clearing by midday. Sunshine dominates the afternoon. Highs middle 50s to lower 60s. Wind NW 10-20 MPH with higher gusts.
TONIGHT: Clear. Lows in the 30s. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.
SATURDAY: Sunny. Highs upper 50s to middle 60s. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
SATURDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows middle 30s to lower 40s. Wind light W.
SUNDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs in the 50s. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.
MONDAY: Cloudy. PM rain. Temperatures in the 40s.
TUESDAY: Cloudy. Chance of rain and drizzle. Temperatures in the 40s.

DAYS 6-10 (MARCH 16-20)…
Fair and cooler March 16. Fair followed by rain shower risk March 17 with milder conditions. Fair, windy, and cooler March 18. Fair March 19. Risk of unsettled weather and possibly cold enough for mix and snow March 20.

DAYS 11-15 (MARCH 21-25)…
Colder overall with some unsettled weather at times including a chance of snow showers early in the period and another mix event later in the period.

Thursday Forecast

7:17AM

DAYS 1-5 (MARCH 10-14)…
The air mass that caused yesterday’s record warmth in much of the region tries to hang on today but a cold front from the north will eventually push it out. A wave of low pressure moving along the front actually delays its southward push until tonight and allows much of the region to be quite mild, eventually turning wet for a while. Cooler and drier air arrives Friday but a quick warm-up comes on Saturday as a weak high pressure area behind the front slips off to the south. Another front drops in from the north Sunday to cool it down again with dry weather. An approaching low pressure area from the southwest will bring clouds back and a chance of rain returning by later Monday.
TODAY: Mostly cloudy to cloudy. Chance of rain, especially northern MA and southern NH, favoring the afternoon hours, though brief light rain may occur anywhere at any time. Highs middle 50s to lower 60s but may fall to the 40s southeastern NH and northeastern MA later. Wind W 10-20 MPH and gusty, shifting to NNE in southern NH and northern MA by late day.
TONIGHT: Cloudy with periods of rain. Lows in the 40s. Wind NW to NE 10-20 MPH.
FRIDAY: Any early rain ends then clouds breaking for sun. Temperatures holding in the 40s. Wind N 10-20 MPH and gusty.
SATURDAY: Partly cloudy. Lows in the 30s. Highs in the 50s.
SUNDAY: Mostly sunny. Temperatures fall to the 40s.
MONDAY: Clouding over. Chance of rain. Lows in the 30s. Highs in the 40s.

DAYS 6-10 (MARCH 15-19)…
Episodes of rain/drizzle possible March 15. Improving weather with a drying trend during March 16. Generally fair March 17-19. Temperatures near to mostly above normal.

DAYS 11-15 (MARCH 20-24)…
Trend to colder and unsettled weather during this period. At least a couple chances of rain, possibly even mix/snow, as the pattern sets up for such events.

Wednesday Forecast

7:21AM

DAYS 1-5 (MARCH 9-13)…
Warm front pushing through first thing the morning with clouds then opening door to the first day of 70+ for much of the region. Exceptions will be the South Coast through Cape Cod and the Islands which will not get above the 50s in most locations. Also, a few east-coast areas may fall short of 70 as well. Cold front sags southward into the region Thursday but may take most of the day to actually push through the region, even into the night or early morning Friday to completely clear the southern coastal areas as a wave of low pressure ripples along it first. Behind this a push of much cooler air arrives for Friday, but a quick turn around as a small area of high pressure then slides overhead and then to the south by Saturday, which will be a warmer day. And then another cold front arrives from the north as high pressure builds across eastern Canada to send the temperature back down again during Sunday.
TODAY: Clouds eastern MA and RI for a while early to mid morning may hang over Cape Cod into late morning. Otherwise, sun will dominate then give way to some clouds again from the west late in the day. Highs upper 60s to middle 70s most areas, warmest Merrimack Valley and southwestern NH, coolest eastern coastal areas, but only in the 50s South Coast through Cape Cod and Islands. Wind SW increasing to 10-20 MPH with higher gusts.
TONIGHT: Partly to mostly cloudy. Lows in the upper 40s to middle 50s. Wind SW 10-20 MPH.
THURSDAY: Mostly cloudy to cloudy. Chance of rain, especially northern MA and southern NH, favoring the afternoon hours. Highs middle 50s to lower 60s but may fall to the 40s southeastern NH and northeastern MA during the afternoon. Wind W 10-20 MPH and gusty, shifting to NNE in southern NH and northern MA during the day.
THURSDAY NIGHT: Cloudy with periods of rain. Lows in the 40s. Wind NW to NE 10-20 MPH.
FRIDAY: Any early rain ends then clouds breaking for sun. Temperatures holding in the 40s. Wind N 10-20 MPH and gusty.
SATURDAY: Partly cloudy. Lows in the 30s. Highs in the 50s.
SUNDAY: Mostly sunny. Temperatures fall to the 40s.

DAYS 6-10 (MARCH 14-18)…
Unsettled March 14-15, threat of rain but may end as mix in a few areas March 15 as it turns colder. Improving weather March 16 then fair with a warming trend March 17-18.

DAYS 11-15 (MARCH 19-23)…
Mild start to the period but with a chance of rain showers. Trending colder, briefly fair, then a chance of some storminess of rain/mix/snow later in the period.

Tuesday Forecast

7:31AM

DAYS 1-5 (MARCH 8-12)…
Today, I’m making it a short discussion to basically say I’m not making any significant changes, because confidence drops off rather quickly with time in this forecast, but the overall idea remains the same: Nice today, coolest coast. Warmest Wednesday. Cold front drops through Thursday, wave of low pressure brings some wet weather. Much cooler Friday, milder again Saturday.
TUESDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs middle 50s to lower 60s interior, 40s coast. Wind variable up to 10 MPH with sea breezes.
TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Lows in the 40s, may rise toward dawn. Wind variable becoming SW 5-15 MPH.
WEDNESDAY: Partly cloudy. Highs around 70 except cooler coastal areas especially Cape Cod (50s there). Wind SW 10-20 MPH with higher gusts.
THURSDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of rain showers. Lows around 50. Highs around 60 except cooler South Coast, but falling to the 40s in the afternoon especially coastal areas and north of Boston.
FRIDAY: Chance of rain/mix early then clearing. Lows in the 30s. Highs in the 40s.
SATURDAY: Partly cloudy. Lows in the 30s. Highs in the 50s.

DAYS 6-10 (MARCH 13-17)…
Unsettled weather is likely at times from later March 13 into March 15 followed by fair weather later in the period. Temperatures variable, averaging near to above normal.

DAYS 11-15 (MARCH 18-22)…
Up and down temps with mostly fair weather to start the period then risk of storminess and colder weather goes up later in the period.

Monday Forecast

7:26AM

DAYS 1-5 (MARCH 7-11)…
Disturbance passes today with some cloudiness and a slight risk of brief light rain in a few areas. High pressure builds Tuesday and Wednesday and in comes the warm air, especially Wednesday, but as previously discussed, coastal areas and Cape Cod will be cooler than the majority of the region on both days. A cold front drops through the region Thursday and then provides the avenue for a wave of low pressure. This results in a cooling trend for the end of the week and some wet weather at least part of Thursday into early Friday (timing still not completely certain).
TODAY: Sunshine gives way to lots of clouds. Slight chance of brief light rain but mainly rain-free. Highs upper 40s to lower 50s, except lower to middle 40s southern coastal areas especially Cape Cod.
Wind SW increasing to 10-20 MPH with higher gusts.
TONIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows middle 30s to lower 40s. Wind W to NW 5-15 MPH with higher gusts.
TUESDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs middle 50s to lower 60s interior, 40s coast. Wind variable up to 10 MPH with sea breezes.
WEDNESDAY: Partly cloudy. Lows near 50. Highs around 70 except cooler coastal areas especially Cape Cod.
THURSDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of rain showers. Lows around 50. Highs around 60 except cooler South Coast, but falling to the 40s in the afternoon.
FRIDAY: Chance of rain/mix early then clearing. Lows in the 30s. Highs in the 40s.

DAYS 6-10 (MARCH 12-16)…
Likely near a boundary with disturbances aplenty, therefore up and down temps and periods of unsettled weather, impossible to time this far in advance.

DAYS 11-15 (MARCH 17-21)…
A continuation of the up and down may be the case early in the period. Subtle indications of a more important storm system toward the end of the period.

Sunday Forecast

7:45AM

DAYS 1-5 (MARCH 5-9)…
No changes to the previous discussion. On to an updated forecast we go!
SUNDAY: Decreasing clouds / increasing sun. However cloudiness hangs on into midday over lower Cape Cod with snow showers resulting in up to 1 inch of accumulation. Highs from the upper 30s to middle 40s. Wind light variable.
TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows middle 20s interior to lower 30s coast. Wind variable to S up to 10 MPH.
MONDAY: Partly sunny. Highs around 50 except cooler southern coastal areas especially Cape Cod. Wind SW increasing to 10-20 MPH with higher gusts.
TUESDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows around 40. Highs around 60 except cooler coastal areas especially Cape Cod.

DAYS 11-15 (MARCH 16-20)…
Cooling trend continues with episodic unsettled weather but no indications of major storms at this time.

Saturday Forecast

7:33AM

DAYS 1-5 (MARCH 5-9)…
A chilly couple days with a disturbance moving through from west to east bringing a period of cloudiness, is what we can expect for this first weekend of March. High pressure building the East Coast both surface and aloft will bring fair weather and a significant warming trend Monday through Wednesday.
TODAY: Some ocean clouds streaming north to south over Cape Cod this morning with sunshine elsewhere. Increasing clouds west to east this afternoon. Highs from the middle 30s to near 40. Wind N 5-15 MPH except 15-25 MPH Cape Cod this morning, diminishing gradually this afternoon.
TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Lows in the lower to middle 20s. Wind light variable.
SUNDAY: Mostly cloudy in the morning. Increasing sun in the afternoon. Highs from the upper 30s to middle 40s. Wind light variable.

Cooling trend with episodic unsettled weather but no indications of major storms at this time.

Friday Forecast

7:24AM

DAYS 1-5 (MARCH 4-8)…
A large and deepening storm passes well south of New England today and is only close enough to put some northern-fringe snow over Cape Cod and the Islands with minor accumulation there. Wind will be a bigger issue in that area. In addition, an ocean flow will put some snow showers into eastern coastal areas of NH an MA at times, with minor accumulation also possible there in some locations. A small high pressure area brings fair weather but not quite as cold Saturday, and a weakening low pressure combines with a northeasterly air flow for more cloudiness and maybe a few snow showers Sunday. High pressure building over the region both at the surface and aloft will ignite a significant warm up early next week.
TODAY: Mostly cloudy. A period of snow South Coast and Cape Cod with accumulation up to 2 inches possible, and a few snow showers with minor accumulation at most eastern MA and NH seacoast locations. Highs 30-36. Wind NE 10-30 MPH, strongest Cape Cod area, including higher gusts.
TONIGHT: Variably cloudy. Snow showers possible eastern to southeastern MA evening. Lows 20-26. Wind NE to N 5-15 MPH except 15-25 MPH Cape Cod.
SATURDAY: Partly cloudy. Highs in the 30s. Wind NW 10-20 MPH.
SATURDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Lows in the 20s. Wind variable 5-15 MPH.
SUNDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of snow showers. Highs in the 30s. Wind variable 5-15 MPH.
MONDAY: Partly cloudy. Lows in the 20s. Highs in the 50s.
TUESDAY: Partly cloudy. Lows in the 40s. Highs in the 60s.

DAYS 6-10 (MARCH 9-13)…
Fair and warm March 9. Turning cooler with periods of cloudiness and some light precipitation at times March 10-13.

DAYS 11-15 (MARCH 14-18)…
Variable temperatures average close to normal with a few minor precipitation events during the period.

Thursday Forecast

7:13AM

DAYS 1-5 (MARCH 3-7)…
High pressure dominates today with dry and cold weather. The cold hangs on Friday as a deepening ocean storm passes well south of the region and only grazes the South Coast and Cape Cod with some snow. Scattered ocean-effect snow showers are possible in eastern coastal areas due to an onshore air flow. Another high pressure area brings fair weather but not quite as cold Saturday, and a weakening low pressure combines with a northeasterly air flow for more cloudiness and maybe a few snow showers Sunday. High pressure builds back in Monday with fair weather and the start of a significant warming trend…
TODAY: Sunshine, dimming late-day as high clouds increase. Highs 28-35. Wind NW 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.
TONIGHT: Clouding up. Lows 16-23. Wind light N.
FRIDAY: Mostly cloudy. A period of snow South Coast and Cape Cod with accumulation up to 2 inches possible, and a few snow showers with minor accumulation at most eastern MA and NH seacoast locations. Highs 30-36. Wind NE 10-30 MPH, strongest Cape Cod area.
FRIDAY NIGHT: Variably cloudy. Snow showers possible eastern to southeastern MA evening. Lows 20-26. Wind NE to N 5-15 MPH except 15-25 MPH Cape Cod.
SATURDAY: Partly cloudy. Highs in the 30s. Wind NW 10-20 MPH.
SUNDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of snow showers. Lows in the 20s. Highs in the 30s.
MONDAY: Partly cloudy. Lows in the 20s. Highs in the 50s.

DAYS 6-10 (MARCH 8-12)…
Fair with significantly above normal temperatures March 8-9. Turning cooler with periods of cloudiness and some light precipitation at times March 10-12.

DAYS 11-15 (MARCH 13-17)…
Variable temperatures average close to normal with a few minor precipitation events during the period.

Wednesday Forecast

7:26AM

DAYS 1-5 (MARCH 2-6)…
Today will be a good example of the changing pattern as just within the 12 hours starting with the time of this post we’ll go from very mild and wet weather to windy, clear, and cold that feels like mid Winter, all thanks to a low pressure area moving across southeastern Canada and dragging a strong cold front through the region. The cold that arrives to end the day will be around for a couple days, and as stated yesterday, we’ll have fair weather due to high pressure Thursday and a chance of snow due to low pressure passing south of the region Friday. It still remains to be seen just how important (or unimportant) the snow event will be as this will depend on the exact track of the low pressure center. Still leaning toward a less important event but a greater risk of accumulating snow in southern and some eastern areas of southern New England. More to come on this. High pressure brings fair weather Saturday. A weakening low pressure area and a northeast flow combine to bring more cloudiness and possibly a few mix/snow showers Sunday.
TODAY: Cloudy through midday with periods of rain, some heavy, with a slight chance of thunderstorms. Clearing west to east during the afternoon. Highs upper 40s to middle 50s through midday then falling to the 30s during the afternoon. Wind S 10-20 MPH with higher gusts, shifting to W.
TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows upper 10s to lower 20s. Wind W 10-20 MPH with higher gusts. Wind chill 10 or below at times.
THURSDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs upper 20s to lower 30s. Wind N 5-15 MPH, diminishing during the day.
FRIDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of snow. Lows in the 20s. Highs around 30.
SATURDAY: Partly cloudy. Lows in the 20s. Highs in the 30s.
SUNDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of mix/snow showers. Lows in the 20s. Highs around 40.

DAYS 6-10 (MARCH 7-11)…
Temperatures warm to above to much above normal with mostly fair weather during this period. Will have to keep an eye out for sneaky cold air from the north.

DAYS 11-15 (MARCH 12-16)…
Temperatures above to near normal as a few systems bring changeable weather.
