DAYS 1-5 (FEBRUARY 25 – MARCH 1)

Interesting early morning temperature distribution in the region. The sky stayed clear longer overnight in a portion of southeastern MA (especially Plymouth County) with calm wind and perfect conditions for radiational cooling. As of 6:00 a.m. the temperatures were below 10 in much of that region, but quickly ranged up to the 20s many other areas, even some lower 30s nearer the South Coast. The coldest will be eliminated fairly quickly as some weather changes take place during this morning. Low pressure travels north of our region today and early tonight. Its warm front produces a period of snow this morning except mix/rain into this afternoon on Cape Cod, and its cold front can bring a shower of snow/mix north, mix/rain south from west to east across the region this evening. A small area of high pressure brings a fair weather interlude during the day Thursday before a low pressure wave travels south of our region at night. This system may be close enough to produce a quick period of light snow near the South Coast, but should otherwise be more “miss” than “hit”. Fair weather returns for Friday and continues into Saturday, but a strong cold front coming through the region later Saturday may produce a rain or snow shower in some locations, leading to a shot of windy, cold, dry weather as March begins on Sunday.

TODAY: Cloudy morning and midday with a period of snow of up to but mostly under 1 inch, except mix/rain South Coast / Cape Cod with no accumulation, followed by breaking clouds from west to east. Highs 32-39, coldest central MA to mildest Cape Cod area. Wind variable up to 10 MPH this morning becoming SW 5-15 MPH with a few higher gusts this afternoon.

TONIGHT: Partly to mostly cloudy with a possible shower of snow / sleet north of I-90, sleet / rain I-90 southward mid evening to a little after midnight from west to east. Lows 25-32. Wind SW 5-15 MPH with higher gusts, shifting to NW.

THURSDAY: Partly sunny. Highs 35-42. Wind NW to N up to 10 MPH.

THURSDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. A period of snow possible near the South Coast. Lows 22-29. Wind N to NE up to 10 MPH.

FRIDAY: Early clouds, then sun returns. Highs 33-40. Wind N to NW 5-15 MPH.

FRIDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 17-24. Wind NW to W up to 10 MPH.

SATURDAY: Plenty of sun, then late clouds with a rain or snow shower possible. Highs 37-44. Wind W to SW increasing to 10-20 MPH with higher gusts.

SATURDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy with a snow shower possible early, then clearing. Lows 15-22. Wind shifting to NW 15-25 MPH.

SUNDAY: Sun and passing clouds. Highs 25-32. Wind NW 10-20 MPH, higher gusts.

DAYS 6-10 (MARCH 2-6)

Wave of low pressure passes close by or to south March 2 – precipitation threat but may just miss area. Additional disturbances bring precipitation opportunities March 4 and 6, based on current timing in an active pattern. Temperatures near to below normal.

DAYS 11-15 (MARCH 7-11)

Active pattern with additional unsettled weather possibilities. More prominent temperature variability may occur depending on tracks of weather system as we will be near a general boundary between milder air to the south and cold air in Canada.

  1. Taunton was 0 while Newport RI was 30 at 6:00 a.m. Quite a contrast. Can you guess which one was calm and which one had a south wind? 😉

    2. Yup 🙁

      Can say I slept through a night without heat in temps near 0F. Took the interior hallway thermometer down to 42F.

      New repair time for an outage in town is Friday night/turning to Sat morning at 12am. Overall, its 7,300 customers or 58% of the town without power.

      At 4am, I thought, to heck with this and came out to my car and warmed up nicely. I then refilled my car at the stations by rte 3 and it was surreal. 5am and how many people were there, filling cars and portable gas containers for generators.

      Went to Dunkin’s, got food for my wife and daughters and left a text on our family text thread to come on out to warm up and eat if you want, but I guess they slept through it. I just got too cold.

      See if there’s a power return surprise today if not, we will go somewhere tonight. We have places to go or I might just go to a hotel.

      Other than that, lol ……

    Quick burst of heavy snow here. Some schools started with a delayed opening now have decided to close for the day.

  9. Thank you, TK. We are up to15 from 9. I walked out of my room just now where blinds are closed, looked out the window and groaned. It’s a light coating but ugh. I seem to have lost my snow lover side. I’m sure I’ll get it back…..next winter

  16. 12Z NAM gets RAIN up to SNE on Friday.

    RRFS-A is screwed up. 6Z run got out to 30 hours, but 12Z
    STUCK at 6 hours!!!

  17. Thank you TK!

    Managed to make it into the office today and although the main roads were not too bad the back roads are still a mess. And those snowbanks are so high that I held my breath every time I had to pull out onto another road.

    Great job to the Wordlers. I lucked out with a 3.

    1. Sue…that’s basically what my son said. He works for the Hingham School System (IT guy) and even though the schools are closed again today he’s going in for a bit a little later.

  18. Thanks, TK!

    SSK, I hope and pray your wife is feeling better and continuing with her recovery.

    Tom, unbelievable story this morning! Hang in there, amigo. Let’s hope Marshfield and other towns without power have extra crews in from other companies and states moving repairs along faster!

    28 now; 6 earlier this morning with a light snow falling.

  21. Thanks TK.

    Nice little burst of snow here in Coventry CT this AM. We got 1.5” and it just tapered off. Up to 55.5” on the season. Not going to bother clearing the driveway as I assume the temps rising above freezing this pm along with the higher sun angle will take care of that.

  29. 12z GFS is still farthest north for Friday and grazes us with some light snow. Seems to be on an island though as all other guidance is a miss.

    GFS is also south and weaker for the threat early next week. Again, a grazer for southern areas. More in line with other guidance now. We’ll see if it brings it back.

    Next snow threat beyond that is next Wednesday.

    Does anyone have a link to the snowfall guesses for the 25-26 winter? I was wondering if I won by default lol

            1. Figured it out. And I slowed down a bit. I was doing about six things at once and I can typically only handle one. Thank you.

      1. When I was doing my own private futurecasting I had noticed enough signals to indicate stronger numbers. I know there are more chances (that I think will fizzle out) to add to the total and meteorological winter is far from over but I’m pleased with my guess. My back isn’t pleased I was right.

    1. What I find interesting is that schools are back open today from Boston N/W and remain closed from Quincy S/E to Cape.

      Reply

        1. SSK, I know Boston N/W wasn’t hit hard. I was just referring to the irony of the dividing line of snow amounts within the areas.

          Reply

  39. 38 here. Lots of melting going on most especially in the sun

    We got close to an inch here. When I went out I could see it was more than initially thought.

  40. I see BOS recorded 0.5 from the clipper
    Snowfall Standings
    BOS 60.9
    NY 43.4
    How much more will these cities add on to in March???

    Reply

      2. Based on TK’s thinking, BOS will continue to add, so NYC doesn’t stand a chance. 🙂

        Unfortunately BOS isn’t likely to catch up with ORH either. If it snows in Boston, it always snows in Worcester. Oh well.

        Reply

  42. Maybe TK will look into his crystal ball and tell us how much more snow BOS and NY will add to those totals in March

  44. Almost like two different days today. Roads were slick this morning as snow came down at a good clip for a short time. Melting picked up in the
    afternoon especially when the sun came out . Looking forward to next few days as higher sun angle should make a dent in the snowpack.

  46. Parallel RRFS (v. 2) skirts RI & southeastern MA with <1" of snow on Thursday afternoon & evening. The wave is shown being faster with each run, fairly open, fairly weak, and very progressive. Most other guidance remains a complete miss with the system except the GFS, which shows a South Coast graze.

  47. After these upcoming colder shots and potentially a couple minor snow events in the next week or so, it does appear on pretty much all guidance that we are going to have a substantial warmup around 3/6-3/13. Yes, I’m sure the modeled 850mb temps wont reflect as well down at the surface but seems possible we could have several days with highs into the 40’s/50’s along with some cutters providing wet weather chances?

    So after some steady gradual melting the next week or so, a major meltdown ensues thereafter and wouldnt be surprised if a good portion of us have brown lawns two weeks from now (as hard as that might be to believe).

    Looks like cold air may try to reload around mid month into the second half of March with another PV disruption so doubt we are done with snow chances, even if nothing materializes in the next 7 days.

  48. TK – you have Friday Night and Saturday listed twice in your forecast above. I think the second occurrence after Sunday may have been copied from the previous forecast and just needs to be deleted.

    1. It’s funny, someone else literally just messaged me about that.

      I know how it happened and I’m surprised I didn’t catch it. Long few days.

      I did copy the previous forecast over because I wasn’t changing much. And I did forget to kill the last 2 sections. POOF.

      It’s fixed now. 🙂
