Wednesday Forecast

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.

Tuesday Forecast

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.

Monday Forecast

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.

Sunday Forecast

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.

Saturday Forecast

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.

Friday Forecast

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.

Thursday Forecast

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.
TONIGHT: Increasing clouds. Lows 35-42. Wind N under 10 MPH.
FRIDAY: Cloudy. Periods of rain possible in the afternoon. Highs 42-49. Wind NE up to 10 MPH.
FRIDAY NIGHT: Cloudy. Any rain changing to 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 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.

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.

Wednesday Forecast

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.

Tuesday Forecast

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.

Monday Forecast

7:30AM

DAYS 1-5 (MARCH 2-6)
A fairly mild first week of March, much like much of the winter has gone, with 2 disturbances / frontal systems moving through, one tonight and one Tuesday night and early Wednesday in a very progressive pattern, then a third approaching later Friday when things may get more interesting. We’ll actually be watching 2 systems at the end of the week, one moving off the Mid Atlantic Coast and another diving through the Great Lakes, for the phase-timing game, which may end up giving the first chance of significant snow in quite a long time. But there is a high degree of uncertainly and we’ll have to keep a close eye on this through the week.
TODAY: Partly sunny. Highs 44-51. Wind S increasing to 10-20 MPH, higher gusts.
TONIGHT: Cloudy. Scattered rain showers. Lows 37-44. Wind SW 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.
TUESDAY: Partly sunny. Highs 54-61. Wind W 5-15 MPH shifting to S.
TUESDAY NIGHT: Cloudy. A period of rain likely. Lows 38-45. Wind variable 5-15 MPH.
WEDNESDAY: Partly sunny. Highs 45-52. Wind W 10-20 MPH, higher gusts.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 28-35. Wind W 10-20 MPH, higher gusts.
THURSDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 45-52. Wind NW 10-20 MPH, higher gusts, diminishing gradually.
THURSDAY NIGHT: Clear. Lows 28-35. Wind N 5-15 MPH.
FRIDAY: Clouding over. Rain/snow possible late-day and night. Highs 40-47. Wind NE 5-15 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (MARCH 7-11)
Snow or snow showers possible March 7, duration and intensity dependent on location and timing of phasing of two low pressure systems. Becoming dry and seasonably chilly by March 8-9. Slight temperature moderation March 10-11 with next unsettled weather threat arriving.

DAYS 11-15 (MARCH 12-16)
Will have to watch this period for an additional unsettled weather and possible winter weather event(s).

Sunday Forecast

7:58AM

DAYS 1-5 (MARCH 1-5)
A cold, quiet Sunday to start the month of March, then we see “more of the same” as we moderate the temperatures ahead of the next set of disturbances, the first that will actually play a decent part in moderating them for us with the lack of precipitation but a lot of cloudiness Monday, a short interlude of high pressure Tuesday but still milder, and a milder and somewhat wetter day Wednesday as low pressure travels northwest of the region. We should be back into drier and somewhat colder air by Thursday as that second system exits…
TODAY: Sunny. Highs 33-40. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Increasing clouds. Lows 25-32. Wind NE up to 10 MPH.
MONDAY: Cloudy. Highs 38-45. Wind SE up to 10 MPH becoming variable.
MONDAY NIGHT: Cloudy evening with a risk of brief light rain. Partly cloudy overnight. Temperatures steady 38-45. Wind light variable.
TUESDAY: Partly sunny. Highs 48-55. Wind light variable.
TUESDAY NIGHT: Cloudy. Chance of rain showers overnight. Lows 38-45. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of rain showers. Highs 48-55. Wind SW 10-20 MPH.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 28-35. Wind W 10-20 MPH, higher gusts.
THURSDAY: Partly cloudy. Highs 35-42. Wind NW 10-20 MPH, higher gusts.

DAYS 6-10 (MARCH 6-10)
Been watching the March 6-8 period for a while for colder air and a potential winter weather event, and continuing to do that but focusing it a little more to March 6-7 with dry weather returning March 8-9 with chilly weather, then moderating temperatures late in the period.

DAYS 11-15 (MARCH 11-15)
Will have to watch this period for an additional potential winter weather event.

Saturday Forecast

10:51AM

DAYS 1-5 (FEBRUARY 29-MARCH 4)
This weekend, Leap Day today and the first day of March tomorrow, will be cold thanks to a batch of cold air recently delivered “air-mail” from Canada. A weak upper disturbance may trigger a passing snow flurry today, otherwise expected dry weather for the weekend. And as has been the case all winter, moderation quickly follows for the first half of the coming week. Expect Monday to feature cloudiness as it warms up both surface and aloft, a small bubble of high pressure to bring fair weather Tuesday, then low pressure tracking northwest of the region to bring back cloudiness and a good chance of wet weather by the middle of the week.
TODAY: Partly sunny. Brief passing snow flurry possible. Highs 33-40. Wind W 10-20 MPH.
TONIGHT: Clearing. Lows 12-19. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.
SUNDAY: Sunny. Highs 33-40. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.
SUNDAY NIGHT: Increasing clouds. Lows 25-32. Wind NE up to 10 MPH.
MONDAY: Cloudy. Highs 38-45. Wind SE up to 10 MPH becoming variable.
MONDAY NIGHT: Cloudy evening. Partly cloudy overnight. Temperatures steady 38-45. Wind light variable.
TUESDAY: Partly sunny. Highs 48-55. Wind light variable.
TUESDAY NIGHT: Increasing clouds. Lows 38-45. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of rain showers. Highs 48-55. Wind SW 10-20 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (MARCH 5-9)
Fair weather at the start and end of the period. Watch the March 6-8 period for potential unsettled weather which may include some snow.

DAYS 11-15 (MARCH 10-14)
Fair weather to start, then another unsettled period possible which may also include at least some risk of mix/snow.

Friday Forecast

7:38AM

DAYS 1-5 (FEBRUARY 28-MARCH 3)
Canadian high pressure brings dry, cold weather for the final 2 days of February and the first day of March. A weak low pressure and frontal system accompanying a slight warm-up returns clouds to the region for Monday, but with a minimal threat of any precipitation, and then a bubble of high pressure brings dry weather for Tuesday.
TODAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 32-39. Wind NW 10-20 MPH, higher gusts.
TONIGHT: Clear. Lows 11-18. Wind NW 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.
SATURDAY: Sunny. Highs 32-39. Wind NW 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.
SATURDAY NIGHT: Clear. Lows 12-19. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.
SUNDAY: Sunny. Highs 33-40. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.
SUNDAY NIGHT: Increasing clouds. Lows 25-32. Wind NE up to 10 MPH.
MONDAY: Cloudy. Highs 38-45. Wind SE up to 10 MPH becoming variable.
MONDAY NIGHT: Cloudy evening. Partly cloudy overnight. Lows 28-35. Wind variable up to 10 MPH becoming N.
TUESDAY: Partly sunny. Highs 38-45. Wind light variable.

DAYS 6-10 (MARCH 4-8)
A more unsettled period of weather starting with a brief warm-up then followed by colder air again. Will have to watch for a couple systems, the first favoring rain and the second possibly favoring more frozen precipitation. High degree of uncertainty remains.

DAYS 11-15 (MARCH 9-13)
Fair, briefly colder to start the period, then moderating temperatures and additional unsettled weather possible mid to late period.

Thursday Forecast

7:21AM

DAYS 1-5 (FEBRUARY 27-MARCH 2)
Low pressure moves across the region this morning then away this afternoon through tonight, making a day that starts out breezy and quite wet turn out drier and windy by its end, and initially on the mild side, but followed by the arrival of cold air by evening. This leads to a period of quiet but colder weather to wind up the month of February and open March, chilly lamb style. By Monday, high pressure to the north and low pressure to the south means that clouds may be back.
TODAY: Overcast with rain, possibly heavy, early to mid morning, ending abruptly from southwest to northeast by late morning. Sunshine and passing clouds midday on with only a brief passing rain shower possible. Highs 45-52 morning, falling through the 40s afternoon. Wind E 10-20 MPH early to mid morning becoming variable then shifting to W increasing to 15-25 MPH midday and afternoon with higher gusts.
TONIGHT: Clearing. Lows 21-28. Wind W 10-20 MPH, higher gusts.
FRIDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 32-39. Wind NW 10-20 MPH, higher gusts.
FRIDAY NIGHT: Clear. Lows 11-18. Wind NW 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.
