4:00PM

Apologies for late update. Technical issue and scheduling prevented the usual morning one.

DAYS 1-5 (MARCH 10-14)
Lots going on, so we’ll do this quickly. First, we have one wave of low pressure passing to the south and this has produced snow across southern New England today with the most significant accumulations near the South Coast including Cape Cod. In addition, a disturbance moving in from the west has kicked off some moderate snow showers over eastern MA early to mid afternoon. Additional snow showers and possibly a squall will occur through evening until the leading edge of Arctic air arrives from the northwest. This sets up a dry but very cold weekend, the second such weekend in a row. Next we look head to the storm threat for Tuesday. There is still a spread among the guidance and this system is far enough away that I do not feel confident saying any more than there is a potential for a significant storm. Several solutions remain on the table and as the weekend goes on this will be focused and fine-tuned so that by Sunday there should be a good handle on it.
REMAINDER OF TODAY: Snow ends southeast but scattered snow showers anywhere. Temperatures in the 30s. Wind light NE to N.
TONIGHT: Variably cloudy with scattered snow showers and isolated snow squalls before midnight, with briefly low visibility and quick coatings of snow along with a freeze-up of existing road moisture will result in hazardous travel. Partly cloudy overnight. Lows 10-18. Wind NW 10-20 MPH with higher gusts. Wind chill below 10.
SATURDAY: Partly cloudy. Highs 18-25. Wind NW 15-25 MPH, higher gusts. Wind chill 10 or below at times.
SATURDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 3-15, coldest interior areas, mildest coast and urban centers. Wind NW 10-20 MPH, higher gusts. Wind chill 0 or below at times.
SUNDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 22-30. Wind NW 15-25 MPH, higher gusts. Wind chill below 15 at times.
MONDAY: Sun to clouds. Lows 10-18. Highs 33-40.
TUESDAY: Storm likely – details to come. Lows 25-35. Highs 30-40.

DAYS 6-10 (MARCH 15-19)
Active pattern with lingering mix/snow possible March 15, and another chance of unsettled weather around March 17-18. Temperatures near to below normal.

DAYA 11-15 (MARCH 20-24)
Active pattern continues with yet another risk of storminess during this time. Temperatures near to below normal.

7:27AM

DAYS 1-5 (MARCH 9-13)
The colder trend is underway and today will be a windy and chilly day behind the second of 3 cold fronts in this process. There is the potential for additional wind damage and power outages as many trees that were not damaged or downed from last week’s strong winds are in a weakened state and are vulnerable. Next up is a wave of low pressure passing south of the region on Friday morning. Model forecast for snow continue quite variable even fairly close to the event, but for the moment I’ll be staying in the lower side for snow amounts, with the most significant snow occurring near the South Coast and possibly parts of interior southern MA/RI/CT. By later in the day Friday or early Friday night, a batch of snow showers/squalls appears likely from southern NH into eastern MA as an inverted trough swings south to southeast through the region. This will open the door for Arctic air which will invade the region from later Friday night through the coming weekend. Some record cold is possible, including the second Saturday in a row of potential record low maximum temperatures. Though it moderates slightly Sunday-Monday it will remain colder than normal with dry weather.
TODAY: Sun and passing clouds. Highs 43-49. Wind W 15-30 MPH, higher gusts.
TONIGHT: Increasing clouds. Snow develops CT, RI, and southern MA overnight. Lows 23-30. Wind W 10-20 MPH and gusty evening, diminishing to under 10 MPH overnight.
FRIDAY: Cloudy through midday with snow in CT, RI, and much of MA, with only brief snow possible northeastern MA and southern NH – accumulations of 2-4 inches near the South Coast with a few 4+ inch amounts possible, coating to 2 inches elsewhere with the 2 inches favoring areas south of the Mass Pike. Partly cloudy afternoon with isolated snow showers north central MA and southern NH late in the day. Highs 30-37. Wind N to NW 5-15 MPH, higher gusts especially late.
FRIDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Snow showers/squalls are most likely in southern NH and eastern MA with some minor additional accumulation. Lows 11-18. Wind N to NW 15-25 MPH, higher gusts.
SATURDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows 5-13. Highs 20-27.
SUNDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows 3-10. Highs 23-30.
MONDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows 8-14. Highs 34-43.

DAYS 6-10 (MARCH 14-18)
Storm potential for March 14-15 and the leaning is toward a system that is strung out with an initial storm staying somewhat offshore and giving more of a side-swipe than a direct hit, and an upper level system coming across the region behind this with some additional precipitation. Should be cold enough for snow for much of the event but it remains far too early to speculate details and amounts. Look for drier weather to follow but that may be shortened by another potential bout of unsettled weather March 17-18. Confidence very low on this. Temperatures near to below normal for the period.

DAYS 11-15 (MARCH 19-23)
The next potential stormy period begins about March 20 and the temperature trend should continue near to below normal.

7:25AM

DAYS 1-5 (MARCH 8-12)
The nearly carbon-copy of last week’s weather continues, as a Pacific cold front moves through the region today. After rain showers end, some clearing and a mild afternoon will follow. A stronger cold front follows this tonight with a few rain showers possible again. Cooler and windy weather arrives for Thursday but not looking for wind gusts are ferocious as what we experience last week. However, some trees have been weakened by recent wind and continue unfrozen ground, so they may be vulnerable. Damage and power outages cannot be ruled out. A wave of low pressure will pass south of the region Friday morning but may bring some minor snow accumulation in CT, RI, and southern MA. An arctic cold front will follow this later in the day and evening with the potential for snow showers/squalls, and then a very cold weekend follows. Some records may be challenged yet again.
TODAY: Mostly cloudy with rain showers ending west to east by lat morning, then partly to mostly sunny. Highs 53-60. Wind SW 10-20 MPH with higher gusts, shifting to W.
TONIGHT: Variably cloudy. Scattered rain showers evening. Lows 30-37. Wind W 10-20 MPH with higher gusts, shifting to NW.
THURSDAY: Sun and passing clouds. Highs 41-49. Wind NW 15-25 MPH with higher gusts.
THURSDAY NIGHT: Increasing clouds. Chance of snow by dawn CT, RI, and southern MA. Lows 18-25. Wind NW 10-20 MPH early, shifting to W and diminishing.
FRIDAY: Cloudy morning with a period of snow southern MA, RI, and CT, with minor accumulation possible. Partly cloudy afternoon. Chance of snow showers/squalls late day or at night. Highs 28-35. Wind W 10 MPH.
SATURDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows 7-14. Highs 20-27.
SUNDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows 5-12. Highs 26-34.

DAYS 6-10 (MARCH 13-17)
A complex storm system is possible from later March 13 into March 15 with various types of precipitation. Drier weather follows. Temperatures near to below normal.

DAYS 11-5 (MARCH 18-22)
Dry weather to start the period, then additional storminess is possible favoring the March 20-22 period. Temperatures near to below normal.

7:40AM

DAYS 1-5 (MARCH 7-11)
Warm front crosses the region today with some areas of light rain. Pacific cold front follows it tonight and early Wednesday with a few rounds of rain showers including a few downpours. The air behind the Pacific cold front will be mild and as it partially clears for a while Wednesday we get a nice day out of it. A stronger cold front will come out of Canada and bring a few rain showers Wednesday evening and then back comes the cold air on a strong and gusty wind Thursday. Starting to sound a lot like last week isn’t it? Well, Friday, an Arctic front will approach and may kick off some snow showers, and Saturday looks like a day of mid winter cold – similar to last week…
TODAY: Cloudy. Areas of light rain, may briefly freeze on untreated surfaces before 9AM mainly northern MA and southern NH. Highs 45-53. Wind SE up to 10 MPH shifting to S and increasing to 10-20 MPH.
TONIGHT: Cloudy. Episodes of rain showers. A few downpours possible. Temperatures steady 45-53. Wind S to SW 10-20 MPH with higher gusts.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly cloudy with rain showers until mid morning, then partly to mostly sunny. Highs 53-60. Wind SW 10-20 MPH with higher gusts, shifting to W.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Variably cloudy. Scattered rain showers evening. Lows 30-37. Wind W 10-20 MPH with higher gusts, shifting to NW.
THURSDAY: Sun and passing clouds. Highs 38-44. Wind NW 15-25 MPH with higher gusts.
FRIDAY: Partly cloudy. Chance of snow showers. Lows 18-25. Highs 28-35.
SATURDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows 8-15. Highs 25-32.

DAYS 6-10 (MARCH 12-16)
Watching a storm system passing south of the region early in the period but still close enough to keep a close eye on it. A second system may come along mid period with a risk of some precipitation. Temperatures near to below normal.

DAYS 11-5 (MARCH 17-21)
Brief warm-up possible early in the period then colder again. A more important storm system is possible late in the period.

7:43AM

DAYS 1-5 (MARCH 6-10)
High pressure slips off to the east today. A warm front crosses the region from southwest to northeast early Tuesday, followed by a Pacific cold front early Wednesday as low pressure passes north of New England. The air behind the Pacific front, as we have seen, will not be all that chilly. We’ll have to wait for a secondary polar cold front to arrive Wednesday night to introduce colder air for Thursday. A disturbance moving across the northeastern US brings the chance for some light precipitation by Friday, but the details of this remain uncertain.
TODAY: Sunshine filtered at times by high clouds. Highs 30-38. Wind light N shifting to SE.
TONIGHT: Increasing clouds. Lows 22-30. Wind light SE.
TUESDAY: Cloudy with patchy light sleet, freezing rain, and rain morning. Mostly cloudy afternoon. Highs 48-55. Wind light SE early, then S to SW increasing to 10-20 MPH with higher gusts.
TUESDAY NIGHT: Mainly cloudy. Rain showers likely. Lows 43-50. Wind SW 10-20 MPH with higher gusts.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly cloudy early with a chance of rain showers. Partly sunny thereafter with a chance of a late day rain shower. Highs 50-58. Wind SW 10-20 MPH with higher gusts, shifting to W.
THURSDAY: Partly cloudy. Windy. Lows 28-35. Highs 43-50.
FRIDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of light mix/snow. Lows 23-30. Highs 33-40.

DAYS 6-10 (MARCH 11-15)
There remains uncertainly in this period but leaning colder and mainly dry for March 11 and a risk of some mix/snow March 12 depending on the track of low pressure. Will watch for additional unsettled weather at times for the remainder of the period though it may moderate, temperature-wise for a couple days.

DAYS 11-15 (MARCH 16-20)
Still looks like it will be on the colder side of normal with 1 or 2 threat of precipitation possible.

7:38AM

DAYS 1-5 (MARCH 5-9)
High pressure centered west of the region today keeps it cold (not as cold as yesterday) and breezy (not as windy as yesterday), then moves overhead tonight for a calmer but cold night tonight. A warm front approaches Monday and passes the region Tuesday followed by a cold front early Wednesday. By late Wednesday and Thursday we’ll be back into a west to northwesterly flow of dry and eventually colder air.
TODAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 28-35. Wind NW 15-25 MPH, higher gusts.
TONIGHT: Clear. Lows 8-15 except 15-20 urban areas and South Coast. Wind light N.
MONDAY: Sunny start, cloudy finish. Highs 36-44. Wind light variable.
MONDAY NIGHT: Cloudy. Lows 28-35 early then rising overnight. Wind SE up to 10 MPH.
TUESDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of light rain in the morning. Chance of rain showers late in the day. Highs 50-58. Wind S 10-20 MPH.

THURSDAY: Sun and passing clouds. Windy. Lows 27-34. Highs 37-44.

DAYS 6-10 (MARCH 10-14)
Episodes of unsettled weather for much of this period. Details to be worked out as timing of systems is uncertain. Some frozen precipitation may occur during this time. Temperatures variable averaging close to normal overall.

DAYS 11-15 (MARCH 15-19)
A drier period of weather expected with temperatures near to below normal.

12:49PM

DAYS 1-5 (MARCH 4-8)
A harsh reminder that just because it’s March, winter is not over. Arctic air has invaded and though it’s only here for a short visit, you’ll feel it if you’re out there through Sunday morning, with lots of wind making it feel even colder! Recovery begins Sunday midday and afternoon under strong March sunshine which we will see much more of than today which features “cold air advection” clouds traversing the region from north to south and also some ocean-effect clouds over parts of outer Cape Cod. But changes are quick-coming and Monday it moderates more and clouds start to roll in ahead of a warm front which will come through by early Tuesday, putting us back into very mild air. A cold front sweeps through by early Wednesday but that day itself will also be quite mild as the colder air behind that is likely to be locked behind a secondary front which will still be northwest of our area at that time.
TODAY: Clouds & sun. Isolated snow flurries. Highs 17-24. Wind NW 15-30 MPH, higher gusts. Wind chill often below zero.
TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 5-11 except 12-18 coast/urban areas. Wind NW 10-20 MPH, higher gusts. Wind chill often below zero.
SUNDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 28-35. Wind N 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.
MONDAY: Sun followed by clouds. Lows 12-20. Highs 42-50.
TUESDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of rain showers. Lows 40-48. Highs 50-58.
WEDNESDAY: Partly cloudy. Breezy. Lows 40-48. Highs 52-60.

DAYS 6-10 (MARCH 9-13)
Windy/colder/dry March 9 behind secondary cold front mentioned above. Warm air attempts to return by March 10 but may result in some light precipitation of the frozen variety. May turn quite mild for the weekend of March 11-12 and eventually wet before colder air returns at the end of the period.

DAYS 11-15 (MARCH 14-18)
Some up and down temps here but probably averaging the colder side of normal but with mainly dry weather.

7:35AM

DAYS 1-5 (MARCH 3-7)
Surge 1 of much colder air arrived during Thursday and remains in place today. The powerful winds of Thursday have diminished to more typical winter winds although some stronger gusts will continue today. Arctic cold takes hold tonight and Saturday and the leading edge of this air mass may result in some snow showers/squalls across the region this evening. A few isolated snow showers may follow that up as the second surge of cold moves in. Saturday will feature cold that will challenge some record low, and may also challenge some record low maximum temperatures. Boston’s record lowest high temperature for March 4 is 21 and it may struggle to reach or surpass this. The cold eases slightly on Sunday with less wind though it will still be quite cold to start with a slightly more moderate finish to the day. A warm front approaches Monday with clouds increasing, and this should lead to a much warmer day Tuesday with a few rain showers possible.
TODAY: Partly cloudy. Highs 30-38. Wind NW 5-15 MPH gusting around 25 MPH.
TONIGHT: Variably cloudy. Scattered snow showers and a risk of heavier snow squalls. Any of these can briefly reduce visibility to very low or nearly zero, and cause a quick coating of snow resulting in slippery travel. Lows 8-15. Wind NW 15-25 MPH with higher gusts. Wind chills fall below zero.
SATURDAY: Partly cloudy with isolated snow showers morning. Sunny afternoon. Highs 18-25. Wind NW 15-30 MPH with higher gusts. Wind chills below zero at times.
SATURDAY NIGHT: Clear. Lows 5-15, coldest interior areas. Wind N 5-15 MPH. Wind chill near zero.
SUNDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 33-40. Wind NW 5-15 MPH with higher gusts.
MONDAY: Increasing clouds. Lows 23-30. Highs 37-44.
TUESDAY: Variably cloudy. Chance of rain showers. Lows 33-40. Highs 48-55.

DAYS 6-10 (MARCH 8-12)
Mild start to the period then colder again. Mainly dry, then a storm threat later in the period.

DAYS 11-15 (MARCH 13-17)
Up and down temps but averaging on the colder side of normal with a couple periods of precipitation possible.

7:31AM

DAYS 1-5 (MARCH 2-6)
Cold front exits first thing this morning. This 2nd day of March will deliver plenty of wind and send the temperature down. This downward trend will continue Friday as a disturbances passes south of the region but a secondary cold front brings a few snow showers/squalls and a shot of some of the coldest air of the winter, relatively speaking, which will last for a good portion of the coming weekend before easing up by the start of next week. The cold air will spill down on the east side of a high pressure area which will finally come across the region later Sunday then start to move off to the east. This will allow the approach of a warm front which should bring increasing clouds by Monday.
TODAY: Partly cloudy through mid morning. Mostly sunny thereafter. Temperatures fall through the 40s into the 30s. Wind W 15-30 MPH with gusts 40-55 MPH.
TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 17-24. Wind W 10-20 MPH with higher gusts.
FRIDAY: Variably cloudy. Scattered snow showers and possible snow squalls developing during the afternoon. Highs 30-38. Wind NW 10-20 MPH with higher gusts.
FRIDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Chance of snow showers early. Lows 10-18 except 18-23 immediate coastal areas. Wind NW 10-20 MPH, diminishing somewhat.
SATURDAY: Mostly sunny to partly cloudy. Highs 25-33. Wind NW 10-20 MPH shifting to N.
SUNDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows 8-15 except 15-20 coastal areas and urban centers. Highs 33-40.
MONDAY: Mostly cloudy. Lows 25-33. Highs 35-43.

DAYS 6-10 (MARCH 7-11)
Temperatures near to below normal. A couple episodes of rain/ice/snow possible.

DAYS 11-15 (MARCH 12-16)
Temperatures near to below normal. Mostly dry weather expected.

7:40AM

DAYS 1-5 (MARCH 1-5)
Back into a warm air mass today. How much sun will play a role in determining how many record high temperatures are broken and how strong a few waves of showers and thunderstorms are. But it is only the first day of March, and we all know about March. Winter is not over, and we’ll be reminded of that rather quickly in the few days that follow.
TODAY: Mostly cloudy to partly sunny. Episodes of showers and thunderstorms likely. Any storms may be strong, with this favoring areas southwest of Boston. Highs 55-62 South Coast, 63-70 elsewhere. Wind S to SW 10-20 MPH with higher gusts.
TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy. A passing shower or thunderstorm possible. Lows 50-58. Wind SW 10-20 MPH with higher gusts, shifting to W.
THURSDAY: Partly to mostly sunny. Temperatures fall through the 40s. Wind W 15-25 MPH with higher gusts.
FRIDAY: Variably cloudy. Windy. Chance of snow showers. Lows 22-30. Highs 32-40.
SATURDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows 15-22. Highs 28-35.
SUNDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows 8-15. Highs 35-43.

DAYS 6-10 (MARCH 6-10)
Colder during this period with a couple episodes of rain/ice/snow possible.

DAYS 11-15 (MARCH 11-15)
Temperatures near to below normal. Overall trend looks drier.

7:39AM

DAYS 1-5 (FEBRUARY 28-MARCH 4)
A warm front approaches today and passes through overnight tonight with a few patches of light rain possible today and a more solid area of rain and possibly embedded thunderstorms coming through the region during tonight and very early Wednesday morning. Then a break while we’re in the warm sector, possibly setting record high temperatures again, during the day Wednesday. Late-day and especially nighttime showers and thunderstorms are likely as a cold front comes along. Behind this front it’s back to reality on Thursday as it turns windy and much cooler. A disturbance will pass just south of the region Friday with a risk of snow showers and possibly a period of snow in far southern areas. What this will do is drag in even colder air for the first part of the weekend.
TODAY: Mostly cloudy. Slight chance of light rain. Highs 50-57. Wind light SE.
TONIGHT: Cloudy. Periods of rain. Chance of thunderstorms after midnight. Lows 44-52. Wind S 5-15 MPH.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly cloudy with rain and possible thunder very early in eastern MA and southeastern NH then partly to mostly sunny mid morning into afternoon. Mostly cloudy later in the day with a risk of showers and thunderstorms central MA through RI. Highs 55-62 South Coast, 63-70 elsewhere. Wind S to SW 10-20 MPH with higher gusts.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Rain showers and thunderstorms likely until around midnight. Lows 50-58. Wind SW 10-20 MPH with higher gusts, shifting to W.
THURSDAY: Partly to mostly sunny. Temperatures fall from the 50s through the 40s. Wind W 15-25 MPH with higher gusts.
FRIDAY: Variably cloudy. Windy. Chance of snow showers. Lows 22-30. Highs 32-40.
SATURDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows 15-22. Highs 28-35.

DAYS 6-10 (MARCH 5-9)
Colder during this period with a couple episodes of rain/ice/snow possible.

DAYS 11-15 (MARCH 10-14)
Temperatures near to below normal. Overall trend looks drier but can’t rule out a storm threat at some point.

7:36AM

DAYS 1-5 (FEBRUARY 27-MARCH 3)
Another warm-up to end February and start March. Fair weather today then unsettled weather Tuesday and Wednesday as described in the previous post. Behind this, colder air arrives during Thursday and Friday.
TODAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 52-57. Wind SW 5-15 MPH with higher gusts.
TONIGHT: Increasing clouds. Lows 32-37 interior, 37-42 coast. Wind light SW.

11:37AM

DAYS 1-5 (FEBRUARY 26-MARCH 2)
Windy, cool (really just seasonable but feeling cold compared to 3 days of record warmth just gone by), and dry today. Mild to briefly warm air returns early to mid week along with some unsettled weather Tuesday (warm front) and Wednesday (cold front). A transition to colder weather for a longer period of time begins Thursday.
TODAY: Sun and passing clouds. Highs 42-47. Wind W 15-25 MPH with higher gusts.
TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 21-26 interior, 27-32 coast. Wind W 5-15 MPH with higher gusts.

THURSDAY: Partly cloudy. Windy. Temperatures fall 50s to 40s.

DAYS 6-10 (MARCH 3-7)
Near to below normal temperatures during this period with dry weather at the beginning of the period then periods of unsettled weather which may include rain, ice, and snow.

DAYS 11-15 (MARCH 8-12)
Similar pattern should continue with episodes of unsettled weather and near to below normal temperatures. Late season snow for at least parts of the region possible during this time.

11:08AM

DAYS 1-5 (FEBRUARY 25-MARCH 1)
Our anomalous warm stretch is about to come to an end, but a baby brother follow up is on the way. First one more very mild today today, not as sunny for most of the region as a lot more clouds will be around, but enough sun to boost temperatures over 60 away from where wind comes off the ocean water. A few showers may pop up during the day, but the main action will come with a cold front from west to east tonight. We’ll be watching a squall line march out of NY State into western New England. This will likely become less organized and weaken as it moves to the east but still some gusty showers and a rumble of thunder may occur. Snow will occur right behind the front in the mountains of western New England but that will not make it into southeastern New England. The colder air will, however, and though this is only a return to near to slightly above normal temperatures it will be a whole lot cooler than the last few days were, and the wind accompanying it will make you feel the difference on Sunday. The trade of will be plenty of sunshine. We go right back to milder weather, but not as warm as this current stretch, Monday through Wednesday. By Wednesday, the first day of March, a front in the area should be bringing us some unsettled weather again.
TODAY: Partly sunny to mostly cloudy. Isolated rain showers afternoon. Highs 51-59 South Coast, 60-68 elsewhere. Wind SE to S 10-20 MPH with higher gusts.
TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Numerous rain showers and possible thunder west to east across the region between 7PM and midnight (possibly a little later Cape Cod). Temperatures in the 50s early, falling to 40s overnight. Wind S to SW 15-30 MPH with higher gusts.
SUNDAY: Sun and passing clouds. Temperatures steady in the 40s. Wind W 15-25 MPH with higher gusts.
SUNDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 23-31. Wind W 5-15 MPH with higher gusts.
MONDAY: Mostly sunny to partly cloudy. Highs 48-57. Wind W 5-15 MPH with higher gusts.
TUESDAY: Partly sunny to mostly cloudy. Lows 28-37. Highs 50-58.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of rain. Lows 33-40. Highs 47-55.

DAYS 6-10 (MARCH 2-6)
Colder with 1 or 2 snow/ice/rain threats during this time.

DAYS 11-15 (MARCH 7-11)
Colder pattern continues. Watching for additional rain/ice/snow threats during this time as well.

7:18AM

DAYS 1-5 (FEBRUARY 24-28)
So we get to the final 5 days of February, and we start with a “frontal failure” forcing me to adjust the temperature for Friday to warmer. The cold front does make it into the region but only about as far south as northern MA before lifting back to the north during the day. Showers near the boundary will occur mostly in the morning in southern NH and northern MA, and some sunshine is expected to return after a cloud-dominated beginning to the day, although once again some low cloudiness may try to hang in along the South Coast. The remainder of the forecast is similar as we’ll still see a low pressure system track through the Great Lakes and into southeastern Canada with a push of warm air from the south ahead of a strong cold front which will turn it considerably cooler for Sunday and Monday. I’m still a little uncertain on how the next system impacts the region but current thinking is a warm front approaches Tuesday with a mix/rain threat.
TODAY: Mostly cloudy morning including a period of scattered rain showers northern MA and southern NH. Partly cloudy afternoon. Highs 47-56 immediate coastal areas, coolest along the South Coast, 57-64 elsewhere with a few warmer readings interior MA. Wind variable up to 10 MPH morning, SE to S 5-15 MPH afternoon.
TONIGHT: Partly to mostly cloudy. Patchy fog/drizzle late. Lows 45-53. Wind SE to S 5-15 MPH.
SATURDAY: Mostly cloudy. Patchy drizzle/fog possible southern and eastern areas mainly morning. Scattered rain showers mid to late afternoon. More humid. Highs 53-60 South Coast, 60-67 elsewhere. Wind S to SW 5-15 MPH increasing to 10-20 MPH with higher gusts late.
SATURDAY NIGHT: Cloudy through 3AM with scattered rain showers early then a band of rain/thunderstorms west to east later. Pre-dawn clearing. Temperatures steady 53-63 then quick drop to 40s pre-dawn. Wind S to SW 15-25 MPH and gusty shifting to W pre-dawn.
SUNDAY: Sun and passing clouds. Temperatures steady in the 40s. Wind W 15-25 MPH with higher gusts.
MONDAY: Sunshine and high clouds. Lows 22-30. Highs 38-45.
TUESDAY: Cloudy. Chance of mix/rain/ Lows 25-32. Highs 38-45.

DAYS 6-10 (MARCH 1-5)
Changeable weather to start off March, likely a mild and wet March 1 as low pressure passes north of the region, followed by windy/colder/dry weather March 2. Will watch for a disturbance that may bring a threat of some rain/ice/snow March 3-4 followed by improving weather.

DAYS 11-15 (MARCH 6-10)
Continuing to watch this period for colder weather and some threat of rain/snow/ice.
