DAYS 1-5 (MARCH 5-9)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With high pressure offshore and a warm front approaching from the west today, your Saturday will be milder than the mid winter feel of Friday, but will have filtered to limited sun due to abundant high cloudiness moving in as warmer air moves in above. Eventually the clouds thicken and we probably lose the sun before it sets today, but we stay dry through the daylight hours. Tonight as the front moves closer, a batch of light precipitation will move across the region. It may be patchy in nature, but it also may be met with surface temperatures near or slightly below freezing over some interior locations, so while not widespread, a few areas may see briefly slippery untreated surfaces. Keep that in mind over interior locations if you are out tonight. Overnight, the temperature rises, putting an end to any of that. Sunday, we see the warm front push to our north as its parenting low pressure area moves across southeastern Canada. A lobe of energy will send some rain showers across our area mainly Sunday morning, and some drying behind this may allow for breaks of sunshine in the afternoon – a little more optimistic forecast than I had previously for Sunday. We’ll have very mild air, with 60+ possible for high temps in many locations, except where a southwest wind is coming off colder ocean water, so our South Coast region will be cooler with upper 40s and 50s expected. We’ll also have to deal with quite a bit of wind as well, but at least it won’t be a biting cold wind. But now comes the time I must remind you that this is March, and spring is not here quite yet. A cold front will settle southeastward across the region Sunday night and Monday. There will be some rain showers with the front, then a period of rain-free weather behind it for a while. But the front is not going to get that far as it goes by before a wave of low pressure comes along from the southwest along it, bringing rainfall back for Monday, especially afternoon and evening. We’ll have to keep a close eye on the temperature profile as this front sits just to the south, as there still can be some ice\/snow involved at least over the interior areas and higher elevations well northwest of Boston. Right now though, I think it will be limited those areas, and unlike yesterday, I’m a little more optimistic for Tuesday that we see an earlier exit to the precipitation, eliminating the snow threat, and bringing the improved weather in sooner, with high pressure then moving in for fair but chilly weather heading to the middle of next week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
