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.
