DAYS 1-5 (MARCH 27-31)
A cold front has passed through most of the region and is moving offshore early this morning, taking the nighttime’s rainfall with it. Today will be a day of declining temperature and lingering cloudiness, with an eventual clearing trend developing. Colder air will continue to filter into the region and tonight / Saturday will be quite chilly for late March. We may see a few snow showers around on Saturday, especially first thing in the morning to the south and late in the day from west to east, in response to upper level low pressure crossing the region. While Sunday is a cool day, it does recover a little and we lose most of the wind we have Saturday, but clouds will make a come-back as warmer air starts arriving from the south and west. A warm front will cross the region at some point Monday, followed by a cold front by early Tuesday, parented by low pressure passing to our north. This will continue the variable temperature pattern, which is currently dominated by the cooler side of normal, and that is how will we wrap up the month of March early next week.
TODAY: Any early rain ends South Coast, clouds linger and gradually give way to more sun west to east. Highs 48-55 early, then falling through the 40s. Wind NW 5-15 MPH, gusts around 20 MPH.
TONIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 26-33. Wind NW 5-15 MPH, gusts around 20 MPH.
SATURDAY: Lots of clouds / intervals of sun. A possible snow flurry. Highs 36-43. Wind NW 10-20 MPH, higher gusts.
SATURDAY NIGHT: Clearing. Lows 22-29. Wind NW to W 5-15 MPH.
SUNDAY: Sunshine gives way to clouds. Highs 43-50. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
SUNDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Lows 35-42 evening, but may rise slightly overnight. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.
MONDAY: Variably cloudy. A rain shower possible. Highs 52-59, cooler South Coast. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.
MONDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Rain showers possible. Lows 42-49. Wind SW 5-15 MPH shifting to N.
TUESDAY: Mostly cloudy. A rain shower possible. Temperatures steady in the 40s. Wind N to NE 5-15 MPH.
DAYS 6-10 (APRIL 1-5)
A couple of brief warmer spikes can occur during a time I expect our region to be on the colder side of a boundary. The greatest chance of unsettled weather is April 3 and later April 4 or 5, the first with a low pressure wave moving along the boundary, the second with a frontal system from the west. Timing and details remain uncertain.
DAYS 11-15 (APRIL 6-10)
Still expecting a continuation of the battle-zone pattern through this period as well with some unsettled episodes and temperature swings, typical of a New England spring.
Lol snow in early fall in the Australian alps. Hotham ski resort got a handful of inches. They are hoping for a similar year to last season
Good luck to them !
West coast of the continent taking/taken a pounding from that tropical cyclone.
Nice, Matt. Hope you are well!

Thank you all. It was what I call midnight magic. Finally. One letter in correct spot with guess one. Second letter not in correct spot for two and word popped into my head.
Oops. This comment in the wrong place. Sorry
Wordle 3.
Wow, Vicki, superb !!
Very good!!!!
I’m so happy for you Vicki!
The same result for me. My first guess gave me the correct first letter, which was a huge help.
Nice SClarke.
My 1st guess gave me NOTHING!!! except 5 letters NOT in the word!
I was hopelessly LOST and READY to totally give up and enter any ole dumb word to end my misery and then I saw the light!!! 6th guess, but felt good to get it.
Excellent that you got it, JPD!!!
Thank you.
Yay, awesome, SClarke
TK, at the top of the discussion you mentioned snow showers for tomorrow, while below in the daily discussion you mentioned snow flurries. Which do you expect?
For kicks, I googled the difference:
AI Overview
The primary difference between a
snow flurry and a snow shower is intensity and accumulation. Snow flurries are light, intermittent, short-lived snowfalls that produce little to no accumulation. Snow showers are more intense, “quick-hitting” bursts of snow that can rapidly reduce visibility and cause accumulation, often arriving and ending suddenly.
Snow Flurries
Intensity: Light, gentle, intermittent snow.
Accumulation: Generally none, or a light dusting.
Duration: Very short-lived.
Visibility: Mostly clear, despite falling flakes.
Snow Showers
Intensity: Light, moderate, or heavy, similar to a rain shower.
Accumulation: Can lead to quick coating or significant amounts, especially on roads.
Duration: Quick-hitting, usually lasting 30–60 minutes, with a sudden start and stop.
Visibility: Can be significantly reduced suddenly.
Key Differences Summary
Intensity: Flurries are weak; showers can be moderate to heavy.
Impact: Flurries are mostly visual, while showers can disrupt travel.
Occurrence: Both can occur with sunshine in between or during cloudy weather, says this Facebook post.
Context: Flurries are like “light flurries” of activity, while a shower is a defined, temporary, falling event
This is pretty much HOW I distinguish a snow flurry from a snow shower.
Curious and thanks
That’s fun. I never would have noticed or understood there is a difference. Thank you
Thanks, TK!
47 degrees with 0.05″ in the rain gauge!
Wordle 3. Had 2, one in right place after 2 but it just came to me
Outstanding!!!!
Wow. EXACTLY what happened with me. Weren’t we on same wave length yesterday.
Awesome, TJammer.
Not a spoiler. https://ibb.co/2r60kBC
I was taking a photo of the cardinal sitting in the tree patiently waiting for me to fill the feeders. And look what else I saw. Right on time with last year
https://ibb.co/nN7dMyzj
I see the beautiful cardinal,, but I don’t see anything else.
Even enlarged and examined. Nothing else. What am I missing?
I also looked carefully for perhaps a humming bird. Nope.
Likewise, exactly.
