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)

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.

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.
