DAYS 1-5 (MARCH 11-15)

High pressure provides fair, mild weather today, before a cold front crosses the region and brings March reality back for midweek. High pressure builds to our north and turns the wind north then east, with lots of clouds. As warmer air attempts to come back aloft first, overrunning can create a little snow / mix in the early hours of Thursday, which may end as a bit of light rain / drizzle. We have a lunar eclipse coming up in the early hours of Friday morning, and being optimistic I think we have a 50/50 shot at best at getting some breaks in the clouds enough to see it, but otherwise it looks like clouds are going to be dominant into late week as well, while a warm front struggles to get through here on Friday, which will still be a cool day. The front should push through later Friday and certainly by Saturday, and while it will be considerably milder, don’t look for complete clearing. It does look precipitation-free at least, for the end of the week / start of the weekend.

TODAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 48-55 South Coast, 55-62 elsewhere. Wind SW 5-15 MPH, gusts 20+ MPH.

TONIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 35-42. Wind SW 5-15 MPH shifting to NW, gusts 20+ MPH.

WEDNESDAY: Partly sunny. Highs 43-50. Wind NW 5-15 MPH, shifting to NE.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Clouding up. Scattered light snow/mix overnight – minor accumulation of snow possible on unpaved surfaces. Lows 32-39. Wind NE to E up to 10 MPH.

THURSDAY: Cloudy. Potential for lingering light mix / rain / drizzle early. Highs 39-46. Wind E up to 10 MPH.

THURSDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Lows 35-42. Wind E up to 10 MPH.

FRIDAY: Mostly cloudy. Highs 43-50. Wind E to SE up to 10 MPH.

FRIDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Temperatures steady 43-50. Wind SE to S 5-15 MPH.

SATURDAY: Mostly cloudy. Highs 48-55 South Coast, 55-62 elsewhere. Wind S 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.

DAYS 6-10 (MARCH 16-20)

A strong storm moving through the Midwest / Great Lakes into Canada will create a stronger southerly air flow on the March 16 with warm air but lots of clouds and eventually wet weather (late day / night) with rain showers. Clearing may be delayed March 17 with additional wet weather as it cools. Fair weather and near to below normal temperature middle of next week with a stronger westerly air flow. The Vernal Equinox (start of spring) occurs at 5:01 a.m. EDT on March 20.

DAYS 11-15 (MARCH 21-25)

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.

  9. Just an FYI … Two 50th Birthdays

    1) ECMWF, 1975-2025. Events are being held in Germany, Italy, and the UK. I think the official birthday is November 1st. The model has survived a long time and it employs 500 people in its member states.

    https://www.ecmwf.int/en/about/media-centre/stories/anniversary#:~:text=As%20part%20of%20the%2050th,centre%20hosting%20our%20supercomputing%20facility.

    2) Owlie SKYWARN, 1976-2026. Owlie was created as a character in a coloring book for children in 1976. (Yes, it’s an owl.) Later on, Owlie became the mascot for the NWS. The owl is mainly used as a way of teaching children about the hazards of weather. Owlie picked up a sidekick along the way, Sanctuary Sam who is a sea lion. Sam is kind of a Smokey the Bear for the Oceans. NOAA either has or did have national marine sanctuaries. More on Owlie’s birthday later.

  12. 55 degrees here in Quincy. We’re getting closer to the season where I’m going to need to be responsible and apply sun protection. Not yet… but soon!

  15. Vicki, in response to your remark yesterday about reverse seasonal affective disorder…I had a violin teacher who said that as soon as the sun started reflecting in his eyes off of other cars’ windshields, he was done until fall!

    1. Hi Jean. I love that.

      I love seasonal shifts but it doesn’t mean I do not function better in some seasons than in others.

  16. 62 here. YUMMY!!!!!!!! Give me more!
    Don’t need no more STINKEN SNOW!!!! 🙂 🙂

    2. Nope. One more foot or so would work for me. But then I would say that mid summer too

  17. Jean mentioned SAD in spring. While it’s less common, it can happen. And it can be prompted by sun glare, which in March is an issue and not just when driving. I like sunshine, but in March it can be piercing – like it wants to go right through you – because of the angle AND the leafless trees.

    2. I get SAD in the spring in anticipation of DST and especially following winters with well below normal snowfall, like this one was.

  19. The Pink House is no more. I’m so glad I got to see her for her final sunset and capture photographs of it.

      1. 1925-2025/R.I.P.

        I’m surprised someone with endless money didn’t buy it and rehabilitate it. It’s not like it was a mansion. Oh well.

        2. They would have to have it moved to different property. That’s an entirely different and larger issue.

          People tried, but it just didn’t work out.

  21. TK – Any thoughts as to any final snow opportunities for the 2nd half of March?

    I can’t remember the last time anyone here posted a weather map, not even our St. Patrick’s Day rain event. No “potential” with that one. 😉

    ☘️

    1. The next potential occurs tomorrow night / early Thursday, but will be a small and somewhat local / regional event, up to 1 inch north and west of Boston.

      Beyond that, see my DAYS 11-15 discussion.
