DAYS 1-5 (MARCH 9-13)
A push of warm air brings the feel of spring and obliterates most of the remaining snow cover today and Tuesday as high pressure sits to our south and low pressure moves well to our north. As this low head into far eastern Canada, high pressure building in east central Canada will send its front southward and the cold water of the Gulf of Maine will help accelerate this process so it comes through as a back-door cold front Tuesday night and early Wednesday, returning chilly and raw air to our region, along with lots of clouds. At the same time, additional clouds would be coming in from the west anyway as low pressure enters the Great Lakes. This will drag that boundary back through as a warm front Wednesday night, combined with low level moisture from the ocean it will result in drizzle and rain showers, putting us briefly back into a wedge of warmer air early Thursday before a cold front moves through from west to east. This front will be accompanied by widespread rain showers that may mix with or turn to wet snow especially in higher elevations as the front goes by and returns colder air to the region from west to east. This leads to a chilly Friday, and any clearing is reversed as another system heads our way from the west, bringing the chance of snow/mix/rain by Friday evening. Details on that system are to-be-determined.
TODAY: Patchy clouds otherwise lots of sun. Highs 57-64 I-95 belt westward, 50-57 elsewhere except 43-50 Cape Cod and Islands. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Patchy fog. Lows 36-43. Wind SW up to 10 MPH.
TUESDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 65-72 I-95 belt westward, 58-65 inside I-95 except 50-57 Upper Cape Cod / South Coast and 45-52 Lower Cape Cod / Islands. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.
TUESDAY NIGHT: Clouding over. Patchy drizzle NH Seacoast and eastern MA coastal areas by morning. Lows 38-45 except 45-52 south central MA to eastern CT. Wind SW shifting to NE 5-15 MPH from northeast to southwest.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly cloudy. Patchy drizzle. Chance of rain showers, especially during the afternoon. Highs 45-52, mildest southwest of Boston. Wind NE 5-15 MPH.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Cloudy. Rain showers likely. Areas of fog. Temperatures rise to 50-57. Wind shifting to S 5-15 MPH.
THURSDAY: Cloudy. Rain showers likely in the morning, may mix with or change to wet snow especially higher elevations of southern NH and central MA during the afternoon. Highs 52-59 early, then falling. Wind S shifting to NW 5-15 MPH with higher gusts.
THURSDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Mix / snow showers possible favoring eastern areas in the evening. Lows 31-38. Wind N 5-15 MPH.
FRIDAY: Partly sunny to mostly cloudy. Late day or evening mix / snow possible from west to east. Highs 38-45. Wind variable up to 10 MPH.
DAYS 6-10 (MARCH 14-18)
Additional unsettled weather opportunities which can include some mix / frozen precipitation as the pattern is somewhat colder.
DAYS 11-15 (MARCH 19-23)
Overall pattern leans cold with near to above normal precipitation. The vernal equinox (start of spring) occurs at 10:46 a.m. EDT on Friday March 20.

Very good JpDave and Sue !!
Nice!
Thanks TK !
Wordle: 5
Radiated last night, so, briefly below freezing this morning.
Not so much yesterday, but today, having to get up early, it kind of feels like 6:50am right now.
Please join me in the 5 car.
Excellent JPD, Sue and Tom.
Sue, may I please join you in car 4?
Welcome !
4 is great. 2 4s and 2 5s so far today.
Come on aboard. Cocktails and snacks for all!
Yay. Thank you.
Thank you, TK. We are still at our low of 30 with brilliant sunshine ☀️
Up to 40 from low of 36, How fast and how far will it go.
I for one will miss seeing the Charles frozen over during the tv newscasts. So quiet and serene.
43 and climbing steadily.
The driveway and car were coated with ice this morning.
I got Wordle in 4.
Nice job!!! 3 4s and 2 5s.
Great 4
Any snow in direct sun today is going to go POOF!!!!!
I can’t believe how fast my snow piles are shrinking and bare ground is expanding all over, most especially spreading out from under trees and spreading from paths shoveled etc.
Good. My front yard still has too much for me to get to the bird feeder. It gets full sun other than the medium size tree where the feeders are
When I said poof, I didn’t necessarily mean it would ALL go, just that so much would go it would be like “poof”. 🙂 🙂 🙂
TK says ALL gone by days end tomorrow and I concur wholeheartedly!!!!
Works for me. With full sun, I’d be very surprised if my yard isn’t clear. I’ll be pleasantly surprised if the shade part of deck is clear. I have my small solo stove ready to go
It seems that compacted snow melts slower than non-compacted snow. Ski tracks on our lawn have become ridges.

Wow. Fascinating pattern. And still lots of snow
Yes, that is true. TK mentioned that in the blog the other day.
Takes more energy to melt as there is not as much air in the compacted snow.
No worries, it will ALL be gone very soon.
Well it does NOT appear Logan will be making 60.
They are up to 52 with a very light SE wind off of the Atlantic.
Gradient looks a little light across the area. Coastal region
may be denied 60, but nice none-the-less as LONG as that sun is out.
Wordle: 3
Good morning and thanks TK, as usual. 🙂
Even though for most people this morning (5am) would seem cold, as a runner it was a nice temperature.
Yay in your 3. Seems so far you are driving the train
I’ve got my mojo back lol
THERE IT IS!!!! Great job!!!!!
Up to 51 here. Temp is rising quite rapidly! When will it reach 60?
CERTAINLY by NOON and perhaps earlier than that.
Now 52.
Wordle 4. Had 4 at 2 but always pick the wrong option!
Always the way! Nice job on 4!
Ugh when that happens. But love that you’ll be with us in the 4 car
55 and counting.
Thanks, TK!
Thanks TK!
So long as the West continues to bake under this ridging pattern – and bake it will, absolutely unbelievable sustained warmth for this time of year – the opposite is going to be true in SNE. Short lived mild stretches like you’re seeing early this week, but cooler weather will continue to prevail overall.
In terms of storm/snow potential though, the Western ridging is almost too strong in a way. The southern stream is going to be shut down, and the northern stream is too far north for anything but clippers. A couple of systems with frozen precip potential are possible as TK has indicated, but I’d favor them being of the more minor variety overall.
Thank you. WxWatcher. Hope all is well in your life
Thank you WxWatcher
We are heading out to Utah on Wednesday PM and skiing there Thursday, Friday and Saturday. The highs in the mountains where we are skiing (Snowbird, Alta and Deer Valley) and projected to be in the low 50’s all three days and where we are staying at our hotel in Sandy (just south of Salt lake City in the valley), the projected high is near 70.
Unreal. Those temps are running about 20 degrees above normal for this time of year. Fortunately they received a lot of snow last week and the base is pretty good. But its going to be spring skiing conditions for sure.
Up to 62 here. YUMMY!!!!
63!
61
Logan has made it to 63 while our temp here has dropped off a tad to 61. The remaining snow pack is limited the temp
Snow on deck down to 7” even. Problem is that there is a five inch block of solid ice right
Outside the door that isn’t budging. And I don’t think I can safely step over it. Arghhhhhh
64 here in Hingham….Nice!!
66 now…in the back yard ( which is about 30 feet below the main area of the neighborhood ) my cheap portable thermometer is reading 72. I’m working on some cleanup and there is no wind in the backyard compared to street level…working up a sweat
Lovely. We are 66 too
Today’s 12z ECMWF could drive a sane man to the institution.
Very nice day. One of the two “warm ones”. A little higher than my forecast, but I don’t think anyone’s gonna complain there. 😉
The dry air is the reason it’s as warm as it is in Boston – dry air and wind direction. 33 dewpoint, moderate southwest wind. Downslope, March edition. It makes a huge difference. I did not think the dp would drop that much today!
Left Attleboro at 2:30 when it was nearly 70 and arrive in Padanaram Village at 3:35 and it’s 57.
