DAYS 1-5 (MARCH 7-11)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Low pressure will move rapidly east northeastward today, passing across northern New England this evening. First, the frontal boundary that moved through here last night will push back to the north as a warm front, but it will produce only spotty very light rainfall at most, but during this afternoon as the boundary sits across southern NH some rain shower activity can occur in southern NH and MA (mostly north of I-90). That boundary will pull northward just in advance of the passing low tonight, which will then drag a cold front fairly quickly across the region from northwest to southeast, when a more widespread episode of rain showers will occur, along with a possible rain squall right with the front which may even include some thunder. This will be brief however, marking the end of the event and the passage of the front, which will return dry and chilly weather to our region for Tuesday. There may be some significant gusts of wind in the 35-50 MPH range just ahead of to behind this front for a while. Isolated pockets of wind damage can occur, especially in higher elevations of central MA to eastern CT and northwestern RI, with a few power outages. While gusty on Tuesday, the wind will start to settle down during the day as high pressure approaches from the west. This high will settle across the region Tuesday night then retreat to the northeast on Wednesday. One slight change to the forecast at this point is that a wave of low pressure I’m watching and previously expecting to pass far enough south of our area to keep its precipitation out of here may indeed be close enough to spread some of it in here later Wednesday into Wednesday evening, and it will be cold enough at that time that we may have to deal with some snow as well. Some late-in-the-game fine tuning will be required in the next 2 posts. Either way, that system, miss, graze, or hit, moves away Thursday with more fair and chilly weather expected as high pressure sits to the north. By Friday, that high will move southeastward and we will see sunshine start to give way to clouds ahead of the next low pressure system which will be moving through the Ohio Valley at that time…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 6-10 (MARCH 12-16)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A strong low pressure area cuts through the region March 12 with a good chance of rain and gusty wind, followed by drying and turning colder later that day and dry, windy, and cold weather for March 13 to finish the weekend. The overall outlook is for dry weather March 14-16 but a system may cut north of the region about March 15 with a minor precipitation threat and temperatures should average below to near normal at this time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (MARCH 17-21)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
