DAYS 1-5 (MARCH 13-17)

A few areas saw a burst of snow showers last night, as indicated, leaving up to 1/2 inch, while most areas didn’t see much of anything. Any snow that did fall will melt away in short order today, although it will be a chilly and rather cloudy day today, north of a frontal boundary and with a light onshore flow. A warm front will amble its way northward tonight and Friday, still with lots of clouds, but perhaps with enough breaking to at least catch some of the early morning total lunar eclipse, which peaks at 2:55 a.m., and maybe also enough for some intervals of sunshine on Friday during the day. Our weekend, still looks the same – increasing southerly air flow as a big storm tracks from the Midwest through the Great Lakes into Canada. We stay rain-free most of the weekend, other than a few showers around during the day Sunday, until a more solid band of rain showers moves through the region Sunday night with the storm’s slow moving cold front. This front buckles a bit as a wave of low pressure moves up along it Monday, prolonging the wet weather here for several hours, before a drying trend begins later Monday – St. Pat’s Day.

TODAY: Mostly cloudy. Highs 40-47. Wind E 5-15 MPH.

TONIGHT: Considerably cloudy / some breaks. Lows 35-42. Wind E 5-15 MPH.

FRIDAY: Mostly cloudy to partly sunny. Highs 47-54. Wind E shifting to S 5-15 MPH.

FRIDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Lows 45-52. Wind S 5-15 MPH, gusts 20+ MPH.

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

SATURDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Lows 48-55. Wind S 10-20 MPH, gusts 25+ MPH.

SUNDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of a passing rain shower. Highs 50-57 South Coast, 58-65 elsewhere. Wind S 10-20 MPH, gusts 25-35 MPH.

SUNDAY NIGHT: Cloudy. Rain showers likely. Slight chance of a thunderstorm. Lows 48-55. Wind S 10-20 MPH, higher gusts.

MONDAY: Cloudy with rain showers likely through midday, then breaking clouds. Highs 55-62. Wind S 5-15 MPH, higher gusts, shifting to W.

DAYS 6-10 (MARCH 18-22)

Fair, cool weather heading into the middle of next week the some potential unsettled weather later in the week, coinciding with the start of spring. Vernal equinox: 5:01 a.m. EDT March 20.

DAYS 11-15 (MARCH 23-27)

Active pattern. A couple storm systems threaten, and cannot rule out some mix/frozen precip being involved.

  1. Good morning and thank you TK.
    yup, snowed here last evening a good 1/2 inch fell. It was really snowing hard at one point when I loooked out, likely harder than it has snowed all Winter. Did not last long.

  6. With the morning cloud deck made it harder to get up this morning. All due to “you know what”.

    I usually get up either side of 6:00 but it might as well be 12 midnight.

    Why do folks hate morning light so much??? 🙁

    Ok, mini rant over (for now).

    1. Early morning light is rough for someone like me that enjoys sleeping in till 9 or 10 daily. I’ve never been an early bird 🙂

      1. I’m totally the opposite. The only time I sleep in is if I’m REALLY REALLY sick.

      2. My days when I worked ran from about 6;00 am to 9:30 pm. Retired, once I got over feeling guilty for sleeping late, my day runs from about 1:00 to 9:00/10:00 am. Being light out doesn’t seem to bother me.

  11. Happy birthday, tjammer! Hope you are still reading.

    Happy birthday to my son.

    41 years ago today we had about 10 inches of snow. It didn’t compare to what was to come 15 days later.

    1. I remember the 2nd event. I suspect last night’s surprise will be about as good as it will get for this season anyway. It will be the 3rd well below normal season in a row for SNE.

    1. I saw a related story. My main take-away was to always carry an umbrella, no matter what the weather forecast is:

      The town’s animal control officer, Brian Bridges, “advises keeping an umbrella handy to use as a shield, to ‘fend off those turkey attacks.'”

      1. If they get aggressive, I just make noises at them an chase them away. I chased one all around my back yard until he flew over the fence. yes, I got rid of that one. 🙂 🙂

  20. Thanks TK.

    Often March is one of the snowiest months across NNE but looks to be the opposite this year for the ski areas in NNE. Conditions were terrific coming into the month after a stellar February but dont see many areas going too deep into April this year (beyond the usuals in northern VT) given this relatively mild pattern and parade of cutters and rain events being consistently modeled through the end of the month.

  22. I believe I may have mentioned awhile back but we are going to Banff and Lake Louise in Alberta for our ski trip out west this year (leaving Wednesday and coming back next Sunday). Planning on skiing a day at Sunshine at Banff and probably two at Lake Louise. It had not been a banner year for snow out there until this month. Lake Louise has picked up 27″ in the last 7 days and Sunshine 18″. Snowing there again today and probably will pick up a bit more before we get there next week. We are hitting it just right with the timing. Not surprised as they often do better when we are snowless and vice versa.

      1. Well that is a different issue. Are you flying directly there or to Calgary and then driving a bit?

        1. Flying out of BDL at 3PM Wed. to Denver where we have a one hour layover and then Denver to Calgary. We arrive around 9:30PM mountain time which isnt too bad. Banff is about an hour and 20 min drive west on the Trans Canada highway.

  23. What a fabulous full moon rising in the east, veiled by some high clouds in my area. I’m kind of glad I botched my day 1 sky forecast today. And it may benefit us for visibility of the lunar eclipse too as it doesn’t look like it will go overcast in the entire region thick enough to obscure it. A lot of high clouds, but the lower stuff should be limited to the South Coast region as it stands now…

    1. It was fabulous. I saw a good deal of it. 🙂

      It actually got clearer as it went on here after having some lower at first.

  26. Posts are updated…

    Starting this weekend or Monday I might switch to a weekly NOAA / NWS discussion page for a while (I did that with the Covid page as well). I can keep comments open for 7 days on it.
