DAYS 1-5 (MARCH 20-24)

The Vernal Equinox occurred at 5:37 a.m. .. Spring is here! You know I always warn about thinking any threat of winter weather is over just because spring arrives. Well, we won’t worry about any winter weather threats right now because even though we know what late March & April can do to us here, we have a nice weather pattern to start off the new season as high pressure moves in today and sits atop New England for several days, through Tuesday in fact. Today’s temperatures will be most uniform across the region due to a westerly air flow. Sunday through Tuesday, warmest weather will be inland during the day while coastal areas are cooler due to sea breeze development. Nights will be chilly due to radiational cooling from the combination of clear sky and light wind, though we may see some ground fog formation in lower elevations each night as the temperature makes a run for the dewpoint during its overnight fall. By Wednesday, an increase in clouds and a more regional southeasterly air flow ahead of a warm front will likely make this a cooler-feeling day, and there may be some light rainfall around later in the day or in the evening as the warm front arrives.

TODAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 52-59. Wind W 5-15 MPH.

TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 26-33. Wind W under 10 MPH.

SUNDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 48-55 coast, 56-63 inland. Wind variable up to 10 MPH with coastal sea breezes.

SUNDAY NIGHT: Clear. Patchy ground fog interior lower elevations. Lows 33-40. Wind variable under 10 MPH.

MONDAY: Sunny. Highs 48-55 coast, 56-63 inland. Wind variable up to 10 MPH with coastal sea breezes.

MONDAY NIGHT: Clear. Patchy ground fog interior lower elevations. Lows 33-40. Wind variable up to 10 MPH.

TUESDAY: Sunny. Highs 49-56 coast, 57-64 inland. Wind variable up to 10 MPH with coastal sea breezes.

TUESDAY NIGHT: Clear then increasing high clouds. Patchy ground fog interior lower elevations. Lows 36-43. Wind SE under 10 MPH.

WEDNESDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of light rain by late-day or evening. Highs 48-55. Wind SE 5-15 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (MARCH 25-29)

Warmest day except cooler South Coast March 25 ahead of a cold front, the parent low pressure of which passes north of the region late March 25 and early March 26 when a better shot of rain occurs, before it turns breezy, colder, and dry later March 26. High pressure brings mostly fair weather, a cool start then moderating temperatures in the March 27-28 period before the next disturbance brings a chance of unsettled weather by March 29.

DAYS 11-15 (MARCH 30 – APRIL 3)

Based on current anticipated timing of systems and being near the border of a mild US Southeast and a cold eastern Canada, expecting a drier but chilly finish to March and a warming trend the first few days of April marked by some unsettled weather during the transition.

DAYS 1-5 (MARCH 19-23)

When I drew up my “1/2 to 2 inch” snowfall forecast thinking that was conservative enough two days in advance (undercutting many other forecasts), it still was not enough to be accurate. That’s one aspect of trying to predict the future. It just doesn’t always pan out exactly how you think. And even now, so much scrutiny is placed on a forecast involving snowfall amounts, more so than temperature, or wind speed, or any other parameter, that “everybody is watching” and waiting for you to be incorrect. Sure, the forecast deserves criticism as anything is subject to it, as long as it’s fair criticism. The forecast was wrong, because the precipitation outran the cold air overnight, so by the time it was snowing, or almost time to snow, it was drying out. Most of us were off by a couple of hours in arrival of cold air vs. end of precipitation timing. The cold air was just a touch slower getting in than most forecasts, and the precipitation was just a touch quicker existing than most of us guessed. Therefore, most areas just saw a few flakes and basically no accumulation, except closer to the South Coast where some coatings have occurred. Had this been a situation with just rain and now possible switch to snow, nobody would really have noticed. That’s what I mean by higher level of scrutiny due to this odd obsession we have with frozen stuff vs. liquid stuff. Anyway, any remaining snowfall near the South Coast will be ending soon, and probably over by the time most people read this. But regardless, we needed whatever moisture fell as we’ve been dry all month after a minor event on March 1. After one windy and chilly day today, we have a string of nicer days ahead, just in time for the start of spring (Vernal Equinox Saturday at 5:37 a.m.) as high pressure builds in over the weekend and holds into early next week. After somewhat uniformly cool air Saturday, the Sunday-Tuesday period will see inland areas warm up most each day while the coast is cooler.

TODAY: Any South Coast snow ends early, otherwise clouds give way to sun. Highs 36-43. Wind N 10-20 MPH, higher gusts.

TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 23-30. Wind NW 10-20 MPH, higher gusts, diminishing to 5-15 MPH.

SATURDAY: Sun and passing clouds. Highs 45-52. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.

SATURDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 22-29. Wind N 5-15 MPH.

SUNDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 52-59, but cooler eastern coastal areas. Wind NE up to 10 MPH.

SUNDAY NIGHT: Clear. Lows 32-39. Wind variable under 10 MPH.

MONDAY: Sunny. Highs 53-60 except cooler coast. Wind variable up to 10 MPH with coastal sea breezes.

MONDAY NIGHT: Clear. Lows 33-40. Wind variable up to 10 MPH.

TUESDAY: Sunny. Highs 55-62 except cooler coast. Wind variable up to 10 MPH with coastal sea breezes.

DAYS 6-10 (MARCH 24-28)

March 24 may turn unsettled as low pressure drifts up from the south and a disturbance arrives from the west, bringing the chance for some rainfall. High pressure should bring dry weather March 25-27 with initially cooler weather then moderating temperatures. Next disturbance may bring the chance for unsettled weather by the end of the period.

DAYS 11-15 (MARCH 29 – APRIL 2)

As usual trying to time anything more than 10 days in advance is nearly impossible, but while 1 or 2 disturbances may threaten with some unsettled weather in the final days of March and very start of April, the general pattern is still looking on the drier side with near to above normal temperatures on average, but variations day to day.

DAYS 1-5 (MARCH 18-22)

A hint of spring, a taste of winter, that’s how we roll here in March, and it will be no different the next few days. We had a nice day yesterday, ending up with plenty of sun and relatively mild air for mid March (very late winter), and today will have its own relative mildness to it despite an overcast and eventual rain moving in. But cold air is not far from us and will be making its way steadily south as low pressure passes south of the region tonight and early Friday on its way to sea. This will flip the rain to snow from north to south, and allow for some generally minor accumulation before the system exits. The “worst” of the snow in the pre-dawn of Friday will be to impact visibility for anybody driving. Heavy enough snow may coat some secondary roadways and walkways for a short while, making them slushy/slippery, but main roads should stay just wet with this one, and most of the 1/2 to 2 inch accumulation should be on grassy surfaces and cold car tops, etc. Is it possible that a couple years may go over 2 inches? Yes, but it would make very little difference in overall impact. By later Friday, we’re dry, breezy, chilly, and clearing out. The vernal equinox at 5:37 a.m. Saturday marks the start of spring, although Saturday morning will definitely still have the chill of winter before the March sun makes the balance of the day quite tolerable despite a gusty breeze. Sunday and Monday will feature a decent temperature moderation, especially if you are away from the shoreline. The trademark “cooler coast” will be in effect as we develop sea breezes both days under the influence of springtime high pressure.

TODAY: Cloudy. Rain arrives west to east this afternoon. Highs 46-54. Wind SW to variable up to 10 MPH.

TONIGHT: Overcast. Rain evening, changing to snow overnight from north to south and accumulating 1/2 to 2 inches before tapering to snow showers. Lows 27-34. Wind variable shifting to N 5-15 MPH evening increasing to 10-20 MPH with higher gusts overnight, strongest near the coast.

FRIDAY: Mostly cloudy to partly sunny. Chance of snow showers early. Highs 36-43. Wind N 10-20 MPH, higher gusts.

FRIDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 23-30. Wind NW 10-20 MPH, higher gusts, diminishing to 5-15 MPH.

SATURDAY: Sun and passing clouds. Highs 45-52. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.

SATURDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 22-29. Wind N 5-15 MPH.

SUNDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 52-59, but cooler eastern coastal areas. Wind NE up to 10 MPH.

SUNDAY NIGHT: Clear. Lows 32-39. Wind variable under 10 MPH.

MONDAY: Sunny. Highs 52-59 except cooler coast. Wind variable up to 10 MPH with coastal sea breezes.

DAYS 6-10 (MARCH 23-27)

March 23 … high pressure overhead, fair weather, mild inland, cool coast. March 24 … high pressure moves off and a frontal system approaches with a risk of rain showers. March 25-27 … Drier weather returns, cooler initially then moderating.

DAYS 11-15 (MARCH 28 – APRIL 1)

Overall pattern is dry but temperature forecast is uncertain as we will again be near a boundary between a warmer US Southeast and a colder eastern Canada, which is not unusual at all for early spring in the Northeast.

C-19 Chat Post – March 18 2021

DAYS 1-5 (MARCH 17-21)

March will be up to its antics the next few days, but first we have a pleasant St. Patrick’s Day today as high pressure finishes its job of obliterating low pressure that was trying to move into the region. But this high will give way to the next low pressure area which will be more moisture-filled, although not necessarily a strong storm itself. Its large area of moisture will be in the process of stringing itself out and moving rather quickly from west to east while the low pressure elongation passes south of New England early Friday. The moisture associated with it will be expansive enough that we get into it, with mild air in place so it starts as a rain event everywhere. But as previously stated, we were to be near the boundary of much colder air, and that boundary slips to the south and allows the cold air in, turning this to a snow event before it’s over. No, it’s not going to be a big snowstorm, but it will be the type of event that can have some impact more on visibility than actual road conditions as we will flipped over to snow (north to south) in the pre-dawn hours of Friday, and will still be snowing at commute time. With mild air and rain at first, the roads will not be primed to allow accumulating snow, but to fight against it, and with temperatures probably staying just above to right around freezing, road icing will also not be an issue when combined with the “warmer” pavement anyway. Most of our snow accumulation (which will be noted below) will be on unpaved surfaces (grass, dirt, sand, car tops, etc.). And then, just like that, it’s all gone. The precipitation moves out, maybe leaving behind a few lingering flurries as a colder northerly wind strengthens, but we’ll have enough solar radiation even if clouds hang in for a while on Friday to pretty much eliminate any snow that fell by day’s end. After a breezy and cold Friday night, and a continued breezy and chilly but dry Saturday, the back half of the weekend will remain dry with a temperature moderation. With the vernal equinox at 5:37 a.m. Saturday marking the official start of spring, we’ll have quite a nice first weekend of the new season.

TODAY: Mostly cloudy start across south central MA, RI, and eastern CT, otherwise partly to mostly sunny. Highs 47-54. Wind SW up to 10 MPH.

TONIGHT: Increasing clouds. Lows 32-39. Wind SW up to 10 MPH.

THURSDAY: Cloudy. Rain developing late-day west to east. Highs 50-57 except 45-50 South Coast. Wind SW up to 10 MPH.

THURSDAY NIGHT: Cloudy. Periods of rain, changing to snow from north to south. Lows 25-32. Wind variable becoming NE 5-15 MPH.

FRIDAY: Cloudy with snow tapering to snow showers morning. Total snowfall accumulation of 1/2 to 2 inches, mostly on unpaved surfaces. Mostly cloudy to partly sunny afternoon. Highs 36-43. Wind N 10-20 MPH, higher gusts.

FRIDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 23-30. Wind NW 10-20 MPH, higher gusts.

SATURDAY: Sun and passing clouds. Highs 40-47. Wind NW 10-20 MPH.

SATURDAY NIGHT: Clearing. Lows 22-29. Wind N 5-15 MPH.

SUNDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 52-59, but cooler eastern coastal areas. Wind NE up to 10 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (MARCH 22-26)

High pressure parks off to the south of New England with fair and milder weather early in the period. A frontal system comes through mid period with a chance of some rainfall, followed by fair but somewhat colder weather later in the period.

DAYS 11-15 (MARCH 27-31)

Cool start to the period, then moderating temperatures with some unsettled weather during the transition. May turn chilly again right at month’s end as more Canadian cold slips into the Northeast.

C-19 Chat Post – March 17 2021

DAYS 1-5 (MARCH 16-20)

We are now at the half-way point of the month of March and in the home stretch of winter, as the Vernal Equinox will occur at 5:37 a.m. Saturday. Now, we all know that just because “spring” arrives on the calendar that we may still see some cold weather and even some frozen precipitation, depending on our pattern, well into springtime, but before that we must determine, among the rest of the sensible weather, if we will see some frozen stuff before we get to Saturday, and the answer is “probably”. We’ll get back to that in a moment. First, we have seen the core of some very cold air pass by and now, while we have a cold but fairly calm start this morning, while today will be a chilly day compared to normal for mid March, the lack of wind will make it feel less so, but we won’t have bright sunshine all day as high clouds are already moving in as of sunrise in advance of low pressure moving in this direction. However, this low is running up against high pressure that is in no hurry to move and is also like a mountain of dry air. This will essentially obliterate the storm system as it comes in, with just some cloudiness, and the remote risk of a brief period of light snow in the CT/RI (maybe far southern MA) areas sometime tonight. High pressure retreats a little on Wednesday but is close enough so that St. Patrick’s Day here in southeastern New England will be a decent day – some clouds, some sun, and a bit milder than today. The modest warm-up continues into Thursday as high pressure slips off to the southeast, but another strong and cold high pressure area will ridge across eastern Canada to our north and then start pressing southward. At the same time, our next storm system will be approaching from the southwest, with its elongating center certain to pass south of our region Thursday night into Friday. This system will have more moisture with it and it is much more likely to bring us a period of precipitation from late-day or evening Thursday through the early to mid morning hours of Friday, while at the same time our mild air gives way to much colder air from north to south. This likely means we’ll be dealing with a rain changing to snow situation. But the question is, how fast does the cold arrive versus the tapering off and departing of the precipitation? While it’s still a few days away and not a situation that a confident solid call can be made yet, my current idea is that we’ll see the cold air arrive soon enough so that most of the region gets a period of snow, and that the snow may accumulate for a while before it ends. But we know that at this time of year it would take pretty heavy snow, which we probably won’t have, to accumulate much, and that it will also be fighting daylight not long after it changes, so that there would be a relatively short window of time for accumulation. Fine-tuning to come… And once we get to later Friday, it’s dry and briefly colder, with a breezy and seasonably cool but fair weather day for the first of spring Saturday, as high pressure moves into the Great Lakes with low pressure off to our east.

TODAY: Increasing clouds. Highs 35-42. Wind variable 5-15 MPH.

TUESDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Brief light snow possible mainly south of I-90. Lows 25-32. Wind variable up to 10 MPH.

WEDNESDAY: Partly sunny. Highs 45-52. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Variably cloudy. Lows 32-37. Wind SW up to 10 MPH.

THURSDAY: Clouding up. Chance of rain late. Highs 48-55. Wind variable up to 10 MPH.

THURSDAY NIGHT: Cloudy. Periods of rain, changing to snow from north to south. Lows 25-32. Wind variable becoming NE 5-15 MPH.

FRIDAY: Cloudy with snow tapering to snow showers morning. Mostly cloudy to partly sunny afternoon. Highs 35-42. Wind N 10-20 MPH, higher gusts.

FRIDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 23-30. Wind NW 10-20 MPH, higher gusts.

SATURDAY: Sun and passing clouds. Highs 40-47. Wind NW 10-20 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (MARCH 21-25)

High pressure is expected to move overhead then off to the southeast with dry weather and a moderating temperature trend, often cooler coastal areas during the days, March 21-23. A disturbance from the west should bring a now fairly rare chance of rainfall before it dries out and turns colder at the end of the period.

DAYS 11-15 (MARCH 26-30)

Colder start to the period, then moderating temperatures toward month’s end. Possibly some unsettled weather during the temperature transition, though the overall pattern looks fairly dry.

C-19 Chat Post – March 16 2021

DAYS 1-5 (MARCH 15-19)

Beware the Ides of March, that is, beware you don’t freeze out there today! It’s a cold one, with yet another core of arctic air crossing the region. It surely has not been the coldest winter, though we’ve had our cold shots. This latest one, along with its wind, peaks today before easing up. Other than a few spot snow flurries first thing this morning from a touch of instability, it will be a dry day with sunshine and some passing clouds. Our ever-increasing March sun angle and the fact the sun now sets late in the 6 p.m. hour will definitely prevent it from feeling fully like mid winter though, despite the wind and cold. We’ll have a cold but more calm night tonight and Tuesday will still be a chilly day as clouds move in ahead of approaching low pressure. But this low will be running into a wall of dry air and won’t be able to produce much more than a touch of light snow mainly south of I-90 tonight into early Wednesday before falling apart, leaving Wednesday (St. Patrick’s Day) as an ok day. Another low pressure area makes a run at the region later in the week as we see a temperature moderation, so some rain should be moving into the area later Thursday. However, much colder air will be nearby, and will start to work back in Thursday night into Friday, turning whatever moisture is left to fall back into snow, though it should be on the light side before dry air re-takes control later Friday as this system starts to pull away from the region.

TODAY: A few light snow showers around eastern MA early this morning, otherwise sun & passing clouds. Highs 25-32. Wind NW 10-20 MPH with higher gusts.

TONIGHT: Clear evening. Increasing clouds overnight. Lows 11-18. Wind N 5-15 MPH, diminishing.

TUESDAY: Mostly cloudy. Highs 35-42. Wind variable 5-15 MPH.

TUESDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Some light snow possible mainly south of I-90. Lows 25-32. Wind variable up to 10 MPH.

WEDNESDAY: Partly sunny. Highs 42-49. Wind W 5-15 MPH.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Variably cloudy. Lows 25-32. Wind SW up to 10 MPH.

THURSDAY: Clouding up. Chance of rain late. Highs 48-55. Wind variable up to 10 MPH.

THURSDAY NIGHT: Cloudy. Periods of rain, changing to snow from north to south. Lows 25-32. Wind variable becoming N 5-15 MPH.

FRIDAY: Cloudy with a chance of snow morning, tapering to snow showers before ending early afternoon. Breaking clouds later. Highs 35-42. Wind N 10-20 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (MARCH 20-24)

Spring Equinox occurs early morning March 20, and high pressure should build in for fair and generally nice weather by March standards for the March 20-21 weekend. Dry weather should continue into early next week before some unsettled weather arrives near the end of the period, but it looks like a mild pattern at that time with colder air staying up in Canada.

DAYS 11-15 (MARCH 25-29)

Some Canadian cold may try to sneak back down into the region with the help of a couple disturbances, but the overall pattern continues to look drier than average.

C-19 Chat Post – March 15 2021

DAYS 1-5 (MARCH 14-18)

Welcome to Daylight Savings Time! Reminder: NWS has issued a Red Flag Warning for high fire danger again today and this will likely be the case tomorrow as well. The combination of drying ground, dry air, and gusty wind will result in conditions that any brush fires can develop easily and spread quickly. Weatherwise, a quick update today – no significant changes to yesterday’s discussion and forecast. One more cold front swings through the region today with a few rain and snow showers this afternoon and another surge of cold, this one of deeper arctic origin and will remind you of the March 2 cold shot as we get a lot of wind later today through tonight and Monday’s temperature fails to make it back to freezing in much of the region. Low pressure approaches Tuesday but should lose the battle to dry air over the region, though we’ll deal with more cloudiness toward midweek, and then a stronger low pressure area will approach by Thursday with a better chance of mix/rain arriving.

TODAY: Sunny start then variably cloudy. Scattered rain and snow showers late morning through mid afternoon. Highs 40-47 in the morning then temperature falling through the 30s in the afternoon. Wind W 10-20 MPH morning, shifting to NW and increasing to 15-25 MPH with gusts 35-45 MPH afternoon.

TONIGHT: Clear. Lows 11-18. Wind NW 15-25 MPH with gusts 35-45 MPH. Wind chill near to below zero at times.

MONDAY: Sunny. Highs 25-32. Wind NW 10-20 MPH, diminishing gradually.

MONDAY NIGHT: Clear evening. Increasing clouds overnight. Lows 15-22. Wind N to NE up to 10 MPH.

TUESDAY: Variably cloudy. Highs 38-45. Wind variable 5-15 MPH.

TUESDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Lows 28-35. Wind variable 5-15 MPH.

WEDNESDAY: Partly sunny. Highs 40-47. Wind variable 5-15 MPH.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Lows 25-32. Wind NE 5-15 MPH.

THURSDAY: Cloudy. Mix/rain arriving, may change to snow at night. Highs 33-40. Wind NE 10-20 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (MARCH 19-23)

Rain/mix/snow possible to start the period from one low pressure area then drier for the balance of the period. Temperatures near to below normal as we’ll tend to be on the colder side of a boundary between a cold eastern Canada and a warmer US Southeast.

DAYS 11-15 (MARCH 24-28)

The overall regime will keep us in a battle zone between lingering winter cold in Canada and warmer spring weather in the US Southeast, again typical for this time of year. This pattern leaves us vulnerable to quick weather changes and temperature swings.

C-19 Chat Post – March 14 2021

DAYS 1-5 (MARCH 13-17)

Two cold fronts down, one to go, in this surge back to cold weather again. Behind the first front yesterday we were still able to enjoy a very mild March day as the air mass was only very slightly cooler than the one that preceded the front, but last night the second front blasted through, literally, with pretty strong wind gusts that again took down weakened tree limbs in some areas, and we feel that wind still blowing this morning, as it will do much of the day, though gradually backing off as the afternoon goes along. It’s delivered a colder air mass too, and we’re back to reality in the temperature department today (40s for highs, but with colder wind chill). Just when you think we’re about to come out of it Sunday, front #3 passes by with perhaps some rain and snow showers on Sunday, and behind it comes year another surge of wind and the coldest air of this spell Sunday night into Monday – the Ides of March will have a stinging cold bite this year. The chilly air will ease back toward the middle of next week as we continue to watch for impact from low pressure trying to move in from the west, but the latest trends are for high pressure to move over the region later Monday and hold strong enough into Tuesday so that a lot of the moisture from this system will dry up. With some lower level moisture being drawn in from the Atlantic as high pressure moves off to the east, we will probably have to at least deal with some increase in cloudiness by Tuesday and Wednesday. Before moving into the detailed forecast, it’s imperative to note that the NWS has issued a Red Flag Warning for today for high brush fire danger, due to drier ground in areas that have lost snow cover, very low relative humidity and gusty wind. Under these conditions which will exist today, and likely through Monday, brush fires can start easily and spread quickly. Don’t use open flames outside (grilling, back yard burning, etc.). One spark can ignite a fire that can grow and spread and threaten property and wildlife. This may not be California, but we do have a fire season, and it’s starting now.

TODAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 38-45. Wind NW 15-25 MPH with gusts 30-40 MPH morning, diminishing to 10-20 MPH with gusts 25-35 MPH afternoon.

TONIGHT: Mostly clear evening. Partly cloudy overnight. Lows 22-29. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.

SUNDAY: Partly sunny. Scattered rain and snow showers late morning through mid afternoon. Highs 40-47 in the morning then temperature falling through the 30s in the afternoon. Wind W 10-20 MPH morning, shifting to NW and increasing to 15-25 MPH with gusts 35-45 MPH afternoon.

SUNDAY NIGHT: Clear. Lows 11-18. Wind NW 15-25 MPH with gusts 35-45 MPH. Wind chill near to below zero at times.

MONDAY: Sunny. Highs 30-37. Wind NW 10-20 MPH, diminishing gradually.

MONDAY NIGHT: Clear evening. Increasing clouds overnight. Lows 15-22. Wind N to NE up to 10 MPH.

TUESDAY: Variably cloudy. Highs 38-45. Wind variable 5-15 MPH.

TUESDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Lows 28-35. Wind variable 5-15 MPH.

WEDNESDAY: Partly sunny. Highs 40-47. Wind variable 5-15 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (MARCH 18-22)

Being near the boundary of cold air in Canada and milder air over the US Southeast will leave us vulnerable to unsettled weather and a rain/mix/snow even is very possible March 18-19, followed by some improvement. Temperatures near to below normal.

DAYS 11-15 (MARCH 23-27)

The overall regime will keep us in a battle zone between lingering winter cold in Canada and warmer spring weather in the US Southeast, again typical for this time of year. This pattern leaves us vulnerable to quick weather changes and temperature swings.
