DAYS 1-5 (MARCH 10-14)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Many parts of our region have a beautiful snowscape this morning with a light snowfall stuck to the trees, but not enough to result in any damage. Grab your camera now (early morning) because in a few short hours it will all be a memory thanks to the strengthening March sun and warming temperatures today under nearly full sunshine (just some passing fair weather clouds this morning and a few high clouds during the afternoon). High pressure moves overhead this evening when we’ll see a fairly quick temperature drop due to radiational cooling, but that drop will slow down overnight as the high moves offshore and a very light southerly air flow arrives. This trend continues Friday with a sun\/cloud mix with some increase in high and mid level clouds ahead of our next storm system. That one will play out in a bit more dramatic fashion than its predecessor as low pressure moves rapidly north northeastward over the eastern US and passes right over our area while intensifying during Saturday. Initially it brings a shot of windy, milder air with a decent rainfall, but as it passes, cold air will be set to move in quickly, and may result in an accumulating snowfall in the far western and northwestern portions of the WHW forecast area (central MA and southwestern NH) with possibly a few snow showers making it a little further southeast as the end of the precipitation will generally beat the arrival of the colder air. But what nobody will miss out on is the strong and gusty winds that take place from late Saturday into Sunday behind the departing storm. Along with that, the cold air shot will be quite sharp for this time frame, and we’ll be experiencing single digit and even slightly below zero wind chills, especially during the first 10 hours of Sunday. Brr! Winter’s not quite done with us yet, as the experienced folks here know very well. But here’s some good news. That sharp cold shot is short lived, and by Monday we’ll at least have the feeling of early spring back as we lose the wind and boost the temperature about 15 degrees from Sunday’s readings…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 6-10 (MARCH 15-19)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While there will still be an active pattern overall, our weather will be quieter as we avoid major systems, seeing 1 or 2 more minor disturbances come through with variable temperatures and a couple precipitation threats during this period, favoring March 15 and late March 16 to early March 17.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (MARCH 20-24)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We welcome spring with the equinox at 11:33 a.m. EDT on Sunday March 20 and a weather pattern that presents a temperature battle and a couple periods of unsettled weather, fairly typical for this time of year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
