7:25AM

DAYS 1-5 (MARCH 17-21)
A low pressure area moving through the region today creates unsettled weather which includes snow showers for parts of the region this morning, then mainly rain showers, ending late-day. Dry, seasonably chilly air returns tonight and Wednesday courtesy high pressure. But things continue to move along and the next system, similar to but a little more potent than today’s will arrive Thursday. This one also has some cold air to work with and should start as snow for a good part of the area before rain once again takes over. Very quickly behind that yet another low travels through the Great Lakes and down the St. Lawrence Valley on Friday, the first full day of spring, and it will drag warm air into the region, making Friday quite the temperature anomaly day compared to the other 4 days in this 5-day forecast period. But that won’t last, and after a cold front passes through in the evening will be right back to the chill of March by Saturday, with wind, although it will be dry again after a rain shower threat (and maybe even a late-day thunderstorm) on Friday.
TODAY: Cloudy. Periods of light rain, but will start as snow and/or mix away from the South Coast. Brief minor accumulation of snow expected on colder surfaces. Highs 42-49. Wind SE 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Clearing. Lows 28-35. Wind variable becoming NW 5-15 MPH.
WEDNESDAY: Sun and passing clouds. Highs 38-45. Wind NW 10-20 MPH.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Clouding over. Lows 25-32. Wind N up to 10 MPH.
THURSDAY: Cloudy. Snow arriving except rain/mix South Coast, with minor accumulation possible, then changing to rain in all locations. Highs 43-50. Wind NE 5-15 MPH shifting to SE.
THURSDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Temperatures steady 43-50 evening, rising into the 50s overnight. Wind SE up to 10 MPH evening, SW 10-20 MPH overnight.
FRIDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of rain showers. Highs 63-70. Wind SW 15-25 MPH.
FRIDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy with a chance of a shower or thunderstorm early, then clearing. Lows 38-45. Wind W 10-20 MPH, higher gusts.
SATURDAY: Sun and passing clouds. Highs 45-52. Wind NW 15-25 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (MARCH 22-26)
We will be vulnerable to unsettled weather at times during this 5-day period being near the border of cold air north and warm air to the south. Too early for specifics. But leaning toward March 23-24 and March 26 as the most vulnerable days for precipitation.

DAYS 11-15 (MARCH 27-31)
Look for drier weather much of this period, temperatures trending to above normal, but this remains a low confidence forecast at this point.

7:40AM

DAYS 1-5 (MARCH 16-20)
A chilly and dry start to the week courtesy Canadian high pressure. St. Patrick’s Day will feature weather you would often see in Ireland, chilly and damp with some light rain, which may start as snow for portions of northern MA and southern NH but with no accumulation. Another Canadian high brings fair and seasonably chilly weather back for Wednesday. Cancel the quick warm-up for Thursday as we stay on the colder side of the boundary as another wave of low pressure moves west to east across the region, and this one may start as snow for more of the region, with even some accumulation possible especially north and west of Boston, but eventually will end up as a rain event before ending and moving away. We will welcome the official start of spring that night, and the first full day of spring on Friday will be significantly warmer, but will feature a rain shower chance as low pressure heads through the Great Lakes and down the St. Lawrence Valley.
TODAY: Sunshine followed by increasing high clouds. Highs 35-42. Wind N up to 10 MPH.
TONIGHT: Clouds thicken and lower. Lows 27-34. Wind E under 10 MPH.
TUESDAY: Cloudy. Periods of light rain, but may start as snow and/or mix anywhere north of I-90 and especially southern NH. No accumulation of snow expected. Highs 42-49. Wind SE 5-15 MPH.
TUESDAY NIGHT: Clearing. Lows 28-35. Wind variable becoming NW 5-15 MPH.
WEDNESDAY: Sun and passing clouds. Highs 38-45. Wind NW 10-20 MPH.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Clouding over. Lows 25-32. Wind N up to 10 MPH.
THURSDAY: Cloudy. Snow arriving except rain/mix South Coast, with minor accumulation possible, then changing to rain in all locations. Highs 43-50. Wind NE 5-15 MPH shifting to SE.
THURSDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Temperatures steady 43-50 evening, rising into the 50s overnight. Wind SE up to 10 MPH evening, SW 10-20 MPH overnight.
FRIDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of rain showers. Highs 63-70. Wind SW 15-25 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (MARCH 21-25)
Low pressure departs, high pressure moves in, bringing drier but colder weather for the first full weekend of spring March 21-22. Probably windy March 21 with passing fair weather clouds, and less windy March 22 but an increasing in high and mid level clouds may occur then. Unsettled weather potential March 23-24 with fair weather returning at the end of the period, based on projecting timing of systems. Continued fairly low confidence so this outlook will likely be tweaked significantly if needed.

DAYS 11-15 (MARCH 26-30)
Look for drier weather much of this period, temperatures trending to above normal, but still a low confidence forecast at this point.

11:58AM

DAYS 1-5 (MARCH 15-19)
High pressure provides dry and chilly weather today and Monday, before a low pressure area moving eastward brings unsettled weather for Tuesday, before being replaced with another chilly high pressure area Wednesday. The jury’s out on Thursday’s weather, but at the moment I am leaning toward a little faster movement of coming systems, which would bring a warm front toward the region, producing a turn back to at least a cloudy sky and possibly some precipitation on Thursday.
TODAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 38-45. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Clear. Lows 25-32. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.
MONDAY: Sunny. Highs 37-44. Wind N 5-15 MPH.
MONDAY NIGHT: Increasing clouds. Lows 28-35. Wind variable up to 10 MPH.
TUESDAY: Mostly cloudy. Spotty light rain, may begin as snow in a few areas. Highs 45-52. Wind variable up to 10 MPH.
TUESDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy evening. Clearing overnight. Lows 25-32. Wind NW 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.
WEDNESDAY: Sun and passing clouds. Highs 43-50. Wind NW 10-20 MPH, higher gusts.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear evening. Increasing clouds overnight. Lows 27-34. Wind N diminishing to under 10 MPH.
THURSDAY: Cloudy. Spotty light snow/sleet/rain possible. Highs 38-45. Wind NE to E up to 10 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (MARCH 20-24)
Low to medium confidence as we will be in a progressive pattern with a sharp temperature contrast between cold air in Canada and much warmer air to the south of New England. Current idea is very mild with a risk of rain showers March 20, windy and colder with a risk of a few snow showers March 21, next system arriving later March 22 to early March 23 with a risk of mix/rain, but probably a minor fast-moving system, and another rain risk by the end of the period.

DAYS 11-15 (MARCH 25-29)
Leaning drier, milder but with a high degree of uncertainty. This will probably change.

9:40AM

DAYS 1-5 (MARCH 14-18)
No significant changes to the outlook posted yesterday. This means expect a gusty breeze, sunshine & fair weather clouds, and eventually a shield of higher clouds fanning into the sky later in the day in advance of low pressure that will pass south of the region Sunday. That is when we will see the high clouds retreat and a sunnier and less windy but colder day as polar air flows in from Canada, holding in place through Monday as well. Tuesday will be an unsettled day with the passage of a low pressure system, and while this system is likely to produce mainly light rain, there may be enough cold air around at the start for some locations, especially southern NH and northern MA, to experience some snowflakes. Another high pressure system approaches Wednesday, which will be a dry, breezy, and chilly day.
TODAY: Mostly sunny through mid morning, then partly sunny. Highs 45-52. Wind W 10-20 MPH, higher gusts.
TONIGHT: Variably cloudy. Lows 28-35. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.
SUNDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 38-45. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.
SUNDAY NIGHT: Clear. Lows 25-32. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.
MONDAY: Sunny. Highs 37-44. Wind N 5-15 MPH.
MONDAY NIGHT: Increasing clouds. Lows 28-35. Wind variable up to 10 MPH.
TUESDAY: Mostly cloudy. Spotty light rain, may begin as snow in a few areas. Highs 45-52. Wind variable up to 10 MPH.
TUESDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy evening. Clearing overnight. Lows 25-32. Wind NW 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.
WEDNESDAY: Sun and passing clouds. Highs 43-50. Wind NW 10-20 MPH, higher gusts.

DAYS 6-10 (MARCH 19-23)
A quick temperature moderation possible March 19 which should remain dry. The remainder of the period as much less certain of a forecast as we’ll be near a boundary between cold air in Canada and warm air to the south of New England. This sets up a potential for unsettled weather and a shaky temperature forecast. The leaning is toward mostly rain for any precipitation but can’t completely rule out mix/snow either for portions of the region.

DAYS 11-15 (MARCH 24-28)
Additional unsettled weather around early to mid period. Temperature start near normal, end above normal.

7:25AM

DAYS 1-5 (MARCH 13-17)
Low pressure races eastward passing north of our area today, its warm front bringing a round of rain showers and some downpours through midday, its cold front possibly bringing an additional rain shower west to east around mid afternoon before we clear out late in the day. Weekend and Monday: Dry and turning colder as Canadian high pressure approaches and moves in. By Tuesday, this high will retreat to the east making way for the next low pressure area to arrive from the west, bringing weather typical of Ireland in time for St. Patrick’s Day, cool and unsettled.
TODAY: Cloudy with numerous rain showers, a few heavy, through midday. Mostly cloudy with an additional rain shower possible through mid afternoon. Clearing west to east late-day. Highs 58-65. Wind SE 5-15 MPH shifting to SW 10-20 MPH then W late day, higher gusts at times.
TONIGHT: Clear. Lows 32-39. Wind W 10-20 MPH, higher gusts.
SATURDAY: Sunniest early then lots of clouds . Highs 45-52. Wind W 10-20 MPH, higher gusts.
SATURDAY NIGHT: Lots of clouds evening then clearing. Lows 28-35. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.
SUNDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 38-45. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.
SUNDAY NIGHT: Clear. Lows 25-32. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.
MONDAY: Sunny. Highs 37-44. Wind N 5-15 MPH.
MONDAY NIGHT: Increasing clouds. Lows 28-35. Wind variable up to 10 MPH.
TUESDAY: Mostly cloudy. Spotty light rain, may begin as snow in a few areas. Highs 45-52. Wind variable up to 10 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (MARCH 18-22)
Dry weather returns the middle of next week with a quick chill-off then a warm-up. Boundary between warm air south and increasing cold air in Canada sets up nearby in the March 20-22 time frame when we become vulnerable to additional unsettled weather but with a temperature profile in the region that is indeterminate at this time.

DAYS 11-15 (MARCH 23-27)
Additional unsettled weather around early to mid period. Temperature start near normal, end above normal.

7:15AM

DAYS 1-5 (MARCH 12-16)
High pressure centered to the north of New England sends a light easterly air flow off the ocean today, keeping it on the cool side. Low pressure will track north of New England Friday, sending a warm front / cold front combo through the region with some wet weather. Departing low pressure and approaching high pressure means dry, breezy, and cooler weather Saturday. That high pressure area sending the cooler air in will be quite strong as it bridges across southeastern Canada, keeping it dry and turning it colder for Sunday and Monday.
TODAY: Some sunshine mainly eastern MA and RI to star, otherwise becoming mostly cloudy. Highs 41-48. Wind E up to 10 MPH.
TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Possible drizzle and light rain overnight. Lows 34-41. Wind SE up to 10 MPH.
FRIDAY: Cloudy with areas of fog, drizzle, and periods of light rain morning. Mostly cloudy with numerous rain showers early to mid afternoon. Clearing late afternoon. Highs 53-60 Merrimack Valley westward, 60-67 elsewhere. Wind SE 5-15 MPH morning, SW 10-20 MPH with higher gusts early through mid afternoon shifting to W late afternoon.
FRIDAY NIGHT: Clearing. Lows 32-39. Wind W 10-20 MPH, higher gusts.
SATURDAY: Sun and passing clouds. Highs 43-50. Wind W 10-20 MPH, higher gusts.
SATURDAY NIGHT: Clearing. Lows 28-35. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.
SUNDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 38-45. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.
SUNDAY NIGHT: Clear. Lows 25-32. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.
MONDAY: Sunny. Highs 37-44. Wind N 5-15 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (MARCH 17-21)
Low pressure moves across the region west to east March 17 with unsettled weather, mainly in the form of rain and drizzle, but may start as mix/snow in some areas. Fair, cool March 18 as high pressure approaches. Fair, milder March 19 as high pressure slips off to the southeast. Strong cold front moves through the region March 20 and may set up a rain/mix/snow event for the end of the period as low pressure arrives with a cold high pressure area to the north. Low confidence on this at the moment but something to keep an eye on.

DAYS 11-15 (MARCH 22-26)
Additional unsettled weather around mid period. Temperature start near normal, end above normal.

7:54AM

DAYS 1-5 (MARCH 11-15)
High pressure gives way to an approaching disturbance today, so a sunny start turns into a cloudy finish, but any precipitation with the passing disturbance tonight, although it may be in the form of mix/snow in southern NH and northern MA while falling as rain to the south, will be on the light side. Clouds will be more stubborn and will hang around a good part of Thursday in between weather systems, so we may need luck to see much sunshine (let’s hope this forecast is too pessimistic). Next low pressure system is a quick mover and I am moving up the timing from yesterday’s update, so that we should be seeing rain arrive west to east Friday morning and depart west to east by evening. With a bit of luck the wettest weather will occur between the 2 main commutes. The weekend: Canadian high pressure moves in, dry/cool/breezy Saturday, dry/less wind/colder Sunday.
TODAY: Sunny start, cloudy finish. Highs 51-58. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Cloudy. A period of light snow/mix/rain southern NH and northern MA, light rain to the south. Lows 32-39. Wind variable up to 10 MPH.
THURSDAY: Mostly cloudy. Highs 40-47. Wind variable up to 10 MPH.
THURSDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Lows 30-37. Wind variable up to 10 MPH.
FRIDAY: Cloudy through mid afternoon with a period of rain late morning to mid afternoon. Breaking clouds late day. Highs 48-55 except may briefly reach 55-62 in some southern areas. Wind SE 5-15 MPH shifting briefly to SW then W and increasing to 10-20 MPH and gusty late day. FRIDAY NIGHT: Clearing. Lows 32-39. Wind W 10-20 MPH, higher gusts.
SATURDAY: Sun and passing clouds. Highs 43-50. Wind W 10-20 MPH, higher gusts.
SATURDAY NIGHT: Clearing. Lows 28-35. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.
SUNDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 38-45. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (MARCH 16-20)
Fair and chilly under the influence of Canadian high pressure March 16. Disturbance from the west brings light precipitation at times March 17, anything from snow to sleet to rain possible, but a minor system. Fair weather returns March 18. High degree of uncertain thereafter. For now, still leaning toward mainly dry weather and a warm-up for March 19-20, but there is reliable guidance which says otherwise, but is inconsistent from previous forecasts. Will re-evaluate.

DAYS 11-15 (MARCH 21-25)
A boundary nearby continues to make for even more uncertainly in an already normally uncertain beyond-10-day forecast. We’ll have to watch for a quick turn to cold and still cannot rule out something frozen falling from the sky sometime during this period.

7:36AM

DAYS 1-5 (MARCH 10-14)
A back-door cold front sneaked down the coast to about Boston overnight, chilling it off temporarily, but there is not a lot of push to keep it going, so we’ll warm it up one more time today before a cold front passes through tonight and returns reality to the region for the remainder of the week. Actually we do have a bit of a weather concern in what’s been an easy pattern through the winter. The first 3 months (to-date) of 2020 are running near a 3 inch precipitation deficit, and with no snowcover and no significant precipitation producers in the pipeline, both pollen and fire danger will be elevated, so we’ll have to keep an eye on that. Tonight’s cold front will produce limited rain showers, and a slightly more energetic system will produce a more widespread but short-lived rain event Friday, the benefit of which will be negated rather quickly when dry and breezy weather returns by the weekend.
TODAY: Partly sunny to mostly cloudy. Highs 52-59 South Coast, 60-67 elsewhere. Wind SW 10-20 MPH.
TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy with rain showers. Lows 45-52. Wind SW 5-15 MPH shifting to W.
WEDNESDAY: Partly sunny. Highs 52-59. Wind W 10-20 MPH.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Cloudy with showers of rain likely, possibly mixed with snow southern NH. Lows 32-39. Wind N 5-15 MPH.
THURSDAY: Mostly cloudy. Highs 40-47. Wind variable 5-15 MPH.
THURSDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 30-37. Wind light variable.
FRIDAY: Clouding over. Rain likely in the afternoon. Highs 43-50. Wind SE up to 10 MPH.
FRIDAY NIGHT: Cloudy with a chance of rain early, then clearing. Lows 32-39. Wind W 10-20 MPH.
SATURDAY: Partly cloudy. Highs 42-49. Wind W 15-25 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (MARCH 15-19)
High pressure moves in with fair, chilly, but tranquil weather March 15-16. A weak low pressure system may bring unsettled weather March 17. High pressure then moves back in with fair, cooler weather March 18 and a warm-up to quickly follow at the end of the period, based on current timing. If you are interested in which medium range model I am closer to for timing in this period, it’s the ECMWF (European).

DAYS 11-15 (MARCH 20-24)
A boundary nearby makes for even more uncertainly in an already normally uncertain beyond-10-day forecast. We’ll have to watch for a quick turn to cold and still cannot rule out something frozen falling from the sky sometime during this period.

7:48AM

DAYS 1-5 (MARCH 9-13)
Pick of the week comes right at the start, as a westerly air flow transports a shot of warm air into the region today along with plenty of sun to go with it. The back-door cold front we’ve been keeping an eye on for Tuesday will only make its way into southern NH and northeastern MA for a short time in the early hours of the day before a stronger southwesterly flow ahead of a cold front pushes it back to the north, so Tuesday, despite more cloudiness, will also be quite mild other than a brief chillier interlude in those locations where the front passes by for a few hours. The cold front from the west will bring a round of rain showers Tuesday night and a shot of cooler air for Wednesday. A follow-up low pressure area will bring some rain (and possible mix to the north) Wednesday night but that moves right along so that Thursday is likely precipitation-free. The fast-flowing pattern brings the next round of wet weather in during Friday.
TODAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 48-55 South Coast, 56-63 southeastern MA, 63-70 elsewhere. Wind W 10-20 MPH.
TONIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 38-45 southern NH and northeastern MA, 46-53 elsewhere. Wind W up to 10 MPH except NE in northeastern MA and southern NH.
TUESDAY: Mostly cloudy. Highs 50-57 South Coast, 58-65 elsewhere. Wind SW 10-20 MPH.
TUESDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy with rain showers. Lows 45-52. Wind SW 5-15 MPH shifting to W.
WEDNESDAY: Partly sunny. Highs 52-59. Wind W 10-20 MPH.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Cloudy with showers of rain likely, possibly mixed with snow southern NH. Lows 32-39. Wind N 5-15 MPH.
THURSDAY: Mostly cloudy. Highs 40-47. Wind variable 5-15 MPH.
THURSDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 30-37. Wind light variable.
FRIDAY: Clouding over. Rain likely in the afternoon. Highs 43-50. Wind SE up to 10 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (MARCH 14-18)
High pressure may control the weather this entire period, starting breezy and cool as low pressure moves away and the high approaches, then more tranquil, chilly at first, then moderating temperatures.

DAYS 11-15 (MARCH 19-23)
Dry with moderating temperatures to start the period. Unsettled weather risk increases thereafter.

11:47AM

DAYS 1-5 (MARCH 8-12)
If you could handle the wind and somewhat chilly air of yesterday, today will be no problem at all for you and will wrap up a nice weekend. I’m not going to encourage anybody that has to work tomorrow to play hooky, but it will be the pick of the week with dry and warm weather. Things change after that, but not in a huge way. We do cool-down heading into midweek and become a little more unsettled, but at this point it looks like systems will be on the weaker and progressive side, with lighter intensity and rain being the more likely things we will see. However with colder air lurking not too far north, this time of year we must always keep on guard for a surprise or two. Not expecting it, but not completely discounting it either.
TODAY: Partly cloudy. Highs 46-53. Wind W 5-15 MPH, higher gusts likely.
TONIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 35-42. Wind W 5-15 MPH, higher gusts possible.
MONDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 48-55 South Coast, 56-63 southeastern MA, 63-70 elsewhere. Wind W 10-20 MPH.
MONDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 40-47. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
TUESDAY: Mostly cloudy. Highs may range widely from near 50 north to near 65 south (more detail later). Wind variable up to 10 MPH may shift to N and NE.
TUESDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy with rain showers. Lows 45-52. Wind SE to SW 5-15 MPH.
WEDNESDAY: Partly sunny. Highs 52-59. Wind W 10-20 MPH.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Cloudy with showers of rain/mix likely. Lows 32-39. Wind N 5-15 MPH.
THURSDAY: Mostly cloudy. Showers of rain/mix/snow possible early. Highs 40-47. Wind variable 5-15 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (MARCH 13-17)
Leaning toward temperatures slightly above normal overall, thought a push of colder air is possible later in the period, which will be drier, after a couple minor systems impact the region about March 13 & 15.

DAYS 11-15 (MARCH 18-22)
Dry early to mid period with cool then moderating temperatures. Unsettled weather risk increases later in the period.

10:57AM

DAYS 1-5 (MARCH 7-11)
Southeastern New England dodged a bullet in the last 24 hours – the evolution of a monster ocean storm, definitely not atypical for this time of year but certainly atypical for this particular winter, at least this close by. The pattern has not allowed such things to take place near to New England, with much of it taking place further north and east, impacting the Canadian Maritime Provinces and across to northwestern Europe. But we’ve been keeping an eye on this time frame (originally slated as March 6-8). The evolution and development happened early in the time window and just barely too far southeast to nail the region with what would have been a major snowstorm, as well as wind event. Well we got some of the wind event, still ongoing now, and far southeastern areas did get a very minor piece of the snow, but that’s about it, and with only some wind and minor coastal flooding left behind today, we now face a dry weekend, which will end less windy and a little warmer than it starts out, although there will still be a gusty breeze on Sunday as high pressure sinks south of the area. But the high will then be in the position to deliver quite the warm up, which will peak on Monday, and linger a bit into Tuesday, a day that will feature more cloudiness and eventually a rain shower threat as a cold front approaches, to deliver a slight cool-down by Wednesday. The one wildcard regarding Tuesday is whether or not the warm-up will be cut short sooner by a back-door front for NH and northern MA. Will monitor, but leaning toward it happening at this time.
TODAY: Partly sunny Cape Cod until midday otherwise mostly sunny. Highs 38-45. Wind N-NW 10-20 MPH except 20-30 MPH Cape Cod, higher gusts in all locations.
TONIGHT: Clear. Lows 25-32. Wind NW to W 5-15 MPH, higher gusts possible.
SUNDAY: Sunny. Highs 45-52. Wind W 5-15 MPH, higher gusts likely.
SUNDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 35-42. Wind W 5-15 MPH, higher gusts possible.
MONDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 48-55 South Coast, 56-63 southeastern MA, 63-70 elsewhere. Wind W 10-20 MPH.
MONDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 40-47. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
TUESDAY: Mostly cloudy. Highs may range widely from near 50 north to near 65 south (more detail later). Wind variable up to 10 MPH may shift to N and NE.
TUESDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy with rain showers. Lows 45-52. Wind SE to SW 5-15 MPH.
WEDNESDAY: Partly sunny. Highs 52-59. Wind W 10-20 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (MARCH 12-16)
We’ll be in a battle zone between mild air to the south and cold air to the north. While I think overall temperatures will not stray too far from normal, they may be critical in determining precipitation type for systems impacting the region March 12-13, and again around March 15, depending on the tracks of the systems. Much to iron out.

DAYS 11-15 (MARCH 17-21)
Leaning toward dry but possibly colder weather early period, then milder and more unsettled weather around or just after the time of the Vernal Equinox. This period, not surprisingly, carries a lot of uncertainty this far out.

7:20AM

DAYS 1-5 (MARCH 6-10)
Two low pressure areas merge offshore today and tonight, then move away Saturday, with the process taking place just far enough southeast to spare the region a major storm, but close enough to put Cape Cod on the edge of it, where some accumulating snow and strong wind gusts will occur. It will be windy elsewhere too, though not as strong. A significant warm-up occurs later in the weekend through Monday as high pressure sinks to the south of the region. A back-door cold front may arrive Tuesday bringing much cooler air at least to a portion of the region.
TODAY: Clouding up. Highs 42-49. Wind NE up to 10 MPH.
TONIGHT: Cloudy. A period of light mix/snow I-95 corridor and steadier and heavier snow for a while southern Plymouth County through Cape Cod with 1-3 inches possible. Lows 28-35. Wind N 5-15 MPH with gusts 15-25 MPH central MA and southwestern NH, 15-25 MPH with gusts 25-35 MPH I-95 corridor, 25-35 MPH with gusts 35-55 MPH southern Plymouth County through Cape Cod.
SATURDAY: Cloudy with lingering snow over Cape Cod early morning otherwise sun and passing clouds. Highs 38-45. Wind N to NW 10-20 MPH except 20-30 MPH Cape Cod, higher gusts likely.
SATURDAY NIGHT: Clear. Lows 25-32. Wind NW to W 5-15 MPH.
SUNDAY: Sunny. Highs 45-52. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
SUNDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 35-42. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
MONDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 48-55 South Coast, 56-63 southeastern MA, 63-70 elsewhere. Wind W 10-20 MPH.
MONDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 40-47. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
TUESDAY: Partly cloudy. Highs 48-55, coolest southern NH and eastern coast of MA. Wind variable up to 10 MPH may shift to N and NE.

DAYS 6-10 (MARCH 11-15)
Temperatures closer to seasonable levels. Potential unsettled weather from up to 3 passing systems around March 11, 13, and 15.

DAYS 11-15 (MARCH 16-20)
Additional low pressure may impact the region early in the period then a turn to fair weather. Temperatures near to above normal.

7:26AM

DAYS 1-5 (MARCH 5-9)
High pressure brings nice weather today. As we have been doing all week, it’s still watch time for interaction of the pair of low pressure areas destined for a collision off the East Coast coming from the Mid Atlantic and Great Lakes, but it still looks like this will happen far enough east to avoid everything but a glancing blow on Friday. The intensifying storm moving away, however, will help to create quite a bit of wind Friday night and Saturday, which will settle down somewhat and becoming a milder and eventually a warmer wind Sunday and Monday. In fact after a fairly cool Saturday, the temperature turn-around may be quite dramatic just under 48 hours later.
TODAY: Sunny. Highs 48-55. Wind W 5-15 MPH, diminishing further.

DAYS 6-10 (MARCH 10-14)
Back-door front brings a turn to much cooler weather early in the period. Will then have to watch low pressure areas from the west for possible impact late March 11 into March 12, and later March 13 into March 14. Timing and precipitation type uncertain but cannot rule out the possibility of at least some mix/snow this far in advance.

DAYS 11-15 (MARCH 15-19)
Going to lean a little more optimistically toward a trend to mainly fair weather during this period, but with low confidence at this time.

7:20AM

DAYS 1-5 (MARCH 4-8)
A windy Wednesday behind departing but intensifying low pressure and ahead of advancing high pressure. That high moves in with a more tranquil day Thursday. Two low pressure areas (from the Mid Atlantic & Great Lakes) phase off the New England Coast late Friday into Saturday but far enough out that we just get a minor event that starts as rain and ends as a period of snow or snow showers, followed by a mainly dry first full weekend of March as high pressure moves back in, with windiest weather between the departing low and approaching high on Saturday and a little less wind by Sunday but still a breeze as high pressure sinks to the southwest and south of New England.
TODAY: Sun and passing clouds. Highs 51-58. Wind W 15-25 MPH, gusts 35-45 MPH, with a few isolated higher gusts possible.
TONIGHT: Clear. Lows 31-38. Wind W diminishing to 5-15 MPH.
THURSDAY: Sunny. Highs 45-52. Wind W 5-15 MPH, diminishing further.
THURSDAY NIGHT: Increasing clouds. Lows 35-42. Wind N under 10 MPH.
FRIDAY: Cloudy. Periods of rain in the afternoon. Highs 42-49. Wind NE up to 10 MPH.
FRIDAY NIGHT: Cloudy. Rain changing to snow or snow showers with minor snow accumulation possible. Lows 28-35. Wind N 5-15 MPH.
SATURDAY: Sun and passing clouds. Highs 38-45. Wind NW 10-20 MPH, higher gusts.
SATURDAY NIGHT: Clear. Lows 25-32. Wind NW 10-20 MPH, higher gusts.
SUNDAY: Sunny. Highs 41-48. Wind W 5-15 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (MARCH 9-13)
Milder March 9 with late-day rain showers from a cold front. Turning cooler March 10 with early rain showers then dry weather returning. Watching the March 11-13 period for the potential for a low pressure system impacting the region with a variety of precipitation.

DAYS 11-15 (MARCH 14-18)
Low confidence but tendency may be for high pressure to north and low pressure to south which leaves this area vulnerable to unsettled weather.

7:45AM

DAYS 1-5 (MARCH 3-7)
Spring feeling today, sunshine and mild air. Clouds come back late and wet weather tonight marks a transition to cooler and windy weather for Wednesday. High pressure brings fair and tranquil weather Thursday. A late week storm system impacts the region. Currently leaning away from a full phasing of a Mid Atlantic and Great Lakes low as the systems move through the Northeast, so impact should not be major, but the system still has to be watched as this is not set in stone just yet.
TODAY: Early clouds and late clouds, plenty of sun between. Highs 55-62. Wind S 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Cloudy. A couple rounds of rain showers and possible embedded thunderstorms. Lows 41-48. Wind S 5-15 MPH shifting to W, gusting over 20 MPH.
WEDNESDAY: Sun and passing clouds. Highs 50-57. Wind W 15-25 MPH, gusts 35-45 MPH.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 30-37. Wind W 10-20 MPH, gusts 25-35 MPH.
THURSDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 45-52. Wind W 10-20 MPH early, then diminishing.
THURSDAY NIGHT: Increasing clouds. Lows 28-35. Wind N up to 10 MPH.
FRIDAY: Cloudy. Rain/mix developing. Highs 35-42. Wind NE 5-15 MPH.
FRIDAY NIGHT: Cloudy. Mix/snow, tapering to snow showers. Lows 25-32. Wind N 10-20 MPH.
SATURDAY: Cloudy with snow showers morning. Clearing afternoon. Highs 35-42. Wind NW 10-20 MPH, higher gusts.

DAYS 6-10 (MARCH 8-12)
Dry March 8-9 with seasonable temperatures. Moderating temperatures with a threat of unsettled weather returning later in the period.

DAYS 11-15 (MARCH 13-17)
Will have to watch this period for an additional unsettled weather as there may be a tendency for some blocking to develop.
