DAYS 1-5 (MARCH 10-14)
A disturbance exits our eastern coast as the sun comes up today, delaying the appearance of the sun a bit as it needs to work its way above a deck of clouds out there first. But it will turn out to be a nice day as high pressure builds in and provides fair, milder weather. This milder trend continues Tuesday as well with more fair weather. Only a brief rain shower can visit parts of the region Tuesday evening as a cold front slices through from northwest to southeast, parented by another quick-moving low passing to our north. High pressure builds north of our region at midweek, sending chilly air back, and as the front that went by previously sits just to the south then tries to work north again, that combined with some onshore flow will bring more clouds and eventually a light precipitation chance (Thursday). I’m not currently optimistic for much in the way of clearing Friday, as high pressure slides off to the east, but centered a little too far north for a southerly wind – more east to southeast – which holds clouds in and makes it harder for that front to cleanly push through, though it will moderate in comparison to midweek as it looks now.
TODAY: Early clouds eastern coastal areas, then sun and passing clouds. Highs 50-57. Wind SW to W 5-15 MPH with a few higher gusts.
TONIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 30-37. Wind W under 10 MPH shifting to SW.
TUESDAY: Partly sunny. Highs 48-55 South Coast, 55-62 elsewhere. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.
TUESDAY NIGHT: Variably cloudy. A rain shower possible in the evening. Lows 38-45. Wind SW 5-15 MPH with higher gusts, shifting to NW.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly cloudy. Highs 45-52. Wind N to NE up to 10 MPH.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Postential for some light rain/mix/snow overnight. Lows 34-41. Wind NE to E up to 10 MPH.
THURSDAY: Cloudy. Potential for light rain/mix through midday. Highs 42-49. Wind E up to 10 MPH.
THURSDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Lows 35-42. Wind E to SE up to 10 MPH.
FRIDAY: Mostly cloudy. Highs 48-55. Wind SE to S up to 10 MPH.
DAYS 6-10 (MARCH 15-19)
A strong storm moving through the Midwest / Great Lakes into Canada will create a stronger southerly air flow on the March 15-16 weekend with mostly fair weather and above normal temperatures, though probably lots of clouds, but fair weather giving way to a band of rain showers ahead of a cold front later Sunday. This should lead to fair, colder weather early to middle next week as a strong westerly flow returns.
DAYS 11-15 (MARCH 20-24)
Battle ground pattern, cold to north, mild to south, a couple storms systems can impact the region and the region may end up on the cold side of at least one of them with potential frozen precipitation. Vernal Equinox occurs early morning March 20.

Good morning and thank you TK.
Thanks TK !
As happens every year, it feels like its 6:24am right now. 🙂
Thanks, TK.
Someone mentioned the Beaufort scale yesterday. As I think I said a few times on this blog, this scale is always used in the Netherlands (a much windier place than here), also for TV and radio forecasts. They don’t generally say what the wind speeds are. You’re basically raised on the Beaufort scale. As a kid you know what, say, 8 is: Gale (or as the Dutch say “storm”). The weather map will then show 8’s along the coast with an occasional 9 and then the numbers drop as you go inland. They’ll also say whether it’s a sustained 8 or just wind gusts that reach 8. This is a daily part of the Dutch weather forecast. Believe me, I had to get used to it. At first, I thought it was a grading system (the Dutch grading system at school is after all from 0 to 10). So, I thought that a 7 was a pretty good day, an 8 an even better day, and 10 must be awesome. Well, I quickly learned that 10 isn’t so awesome unless you’re into destructive storms.
Thanks TK

DST was harder for me this morning with the cloud deck in the eastern horizon as there wasn’t much early daylight to draw from.
We need to STOP this insanity of DST!!!
No issues this morning for me, but for whatever reason, I was totally exhausted all day yesterday. 🙂
I agree with the toughness of this morning and probably the next week until we get the sunrise to an earlier time.
But, I would be so disappointed if DST disappeared.
I can’t imagine the latest sunset of the year being 7:25pm in eastern New England. Also, without DST, the sun would rise before 4:30am most of the summer. Near the solstice, the sunrise would be 4:07am and it would probably be fairly light at 3:45am.
I agree Tim. It would be interesting to see if that would revive the debate on which time zone we are in here in Eastern Massachusetts and all the way up to Maine – Atlantic Standard time anyone?
Tom! Not Tim
If Maine isn’t even on Atlantic Time why should Massachusetts? Makes NO sense whatsoever!
Great for the early morning fisherman. 🙂 🙂
Thank you, TK!

No problem here with time change, but I’m weird anyway. 😉
Thank you TK!
Hello from Istanbul Turkey. Weather has been spectacular, low 60’s sunny. A little haze and smog as I didn’t realize it’s a city of nearly 18 million. Great public transportation that works 🙂
Incredible history, culture etc….
Sounds like an amazing trip Hadi. Hope you and the family have a fantastic time.
Sounds very special, I hope you have a wonderful trip
I am probably one of a handful on this site that likes DST. I prefer to sit outdoors as late as I can and watch late sunsets.
The twice a year change doesn’t bother me at all. 🙂
IF we were to stay on one, my strong opinion is Standard is the better option.

Looking forward to a 4 day weekend as work has been crazy busy .
Thanks, TK.
Hadi, thanks for checking in from Istanbul. It’s a spectacular city that straddles Europe and Asia. The Turks are wonderful people, too.
Special city for sure.
59 in JP
spectacular day!!!!
Spring has arrived in the arctic 🙂
Not Florida warmth of mid February, but we’re getting there 🙂 🙂 🙂
Yes!! But how long will ot stay. I am ready, that’s for sure.
JP made 60 !!!
I am not home and the mobile app for my equipment does not have tenths, so it could really be 59.5. but I’ll takt it either way.
of course, it also be 60 4. I have no way of knowing for sure.
Just visited our local farm. It was 61 here and 59 at the farm. I believe it is the highest point in Sutton
I was warm in a light sweatshirt.
60 here in Brookline. I’m at the dentist office.
And btw, the receptionist agrees with me on STANDARD time! 😉
It was a great day for a walk. I was in a tshirt during my hour lunch break at work. Got in 4 miles of walking. Saw a neat “Guinness for Strength” sign in Dorchester. https://ibb.co/6RSBB9Km
I’m with JPD. I was tired yesterday. Today I’m extra tired. The time change didn’t bother me until a few years ago.
Hi Everyone,
1) It is so refreshing to come here and read straight thoughts from people without agenda (Other than maximum snowfall accumulation,,.)
2) I am off to the UK for work tomorrow. Their warm later February, early March, ends just in time for my arrival. What I thought was a 1 year and done deal has turned into a recurring engagement. I am so happy and proud to work with these driven, talented, curious professionals.
3) My son was just accepted into a short-term program at Oxford. So more UK for my family is on its way.
4) The weather – The ECMWF weeklies last Thursday and the ECMWF at 00z Saturday hinted a colder extended pattern. The ECMWF since then has been pretty consistent in backing away from that and more of short term cold shots moved out by average to slightly above average temperatures. (I don’t buy the warmest of their guidance, just I don’t buy the coldest)
5) The ECMWF has generally been too cold with its deep cold and too warm with its warm highs and been too willing to hang on to warmth too long. See this week…
6) Not too confident in my prediction of 41″ of seasonal snow in Boston.
7) Humble brag on my early idea of the core of winter precipitation this season being about 2/5-2/20. I am for sure still underwater with my many missed seasonal predictions…
Great to hear from you, JMA.
Congratulations on your son’s acceptance into the Oxford University program. Oxford is a great place. I lived there in 1984-85, studying in a program called PPE (philosophy, politics, economics).
I now spend several months a year in the UK. I can stay up to 6 months on a visitor visa. I’m trying to get a permanent resident visa. Given that my daughter lives there and my son is returning to the Netherlands it just makes more sense. I have no real roots here anymore, other than my siblings.
We should meet for coffee on one of your trips, if we happen to be there at the same time.
Absolutely! As I have written before, when I walk about in the UK, I often think about your UK weather observations and its impact on the human condition.
wow!,wonderful news on your son!!!!
The Pats are spending some serious money for players! Carlton Davis, CB, for $60 million with $34.5 million guaranteed. Milton Davis, DT, for $26 million a year. And a QB added to the roster too.
No wide receivers!
Not sure.
More changes coming to the Cone of Uncertainty. Example using Hurricane Helene.

Very interesting. Thanks Longshot
Hmmmm maybe Isn’t the time change.

Anyone else suffer from reverse Seasonal Affective Disorder? These first warm sunny days of spring drain me of energy and motivation. So depressing. The first, dark chilly days of November fill me with joy and anticipation…
https://x.com/vermonsterwx/status/1899207087353385095?s=46&t=neG9xl79s_BtNQXSGBlqLQ
For some people the increase in sunlight can disrupt sleep patterns enough to have an effect opposite to what one would expected. It’s one aspect of several that lead to a more depressive mindset than a hopeful one.
This is most common with people who have an internal struggle of one kind or another that is unresolved.
I’ve known a few people who suffer this…
I hear him. Spoken like a true snow lover!
Agree. And maybe colder weather lover. I always have more energy in the fall once weather starts to cool. It makes sense my energy level might decline once the cold starts to diminish.
