DAYS 1-5 (MARCH 17-21)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today starts with some areas of dense fog. If you don’t have the fog, you get to see the sun to start the day before clouds move into the region in advance of low pressure. This weak storm system will track just south of New England tonight, bringing some light rainfall mainly to southeastern portions of the WHW forecast area later today into this evening before moving out later at night. This leave us in a slot of drier and milder air for Friday, so it will attempt to warm nicely, though this warm-up may be quickly thwarted by developing coastal sea breezes due to a weak wind field, then regionally ended by the passage of a cold front from the north and northeast later in the day or in the evening. Another low pressure system, this one rather broad and containing more moisture, will bring wet weather for the start of the weekend as it passes to our northwest. As it goes by, drier air will start to return for the second half of the weekend, though there still could be a passing rain shower on Sunday. The vernal equinox – the astronomical arrival of spring – occurs at 11:33 a.m. EDT on Sunday. High pressure brings fair and seasonably cool weather for Monday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 6-10 (MARCH 22-26)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Overall pattern leaves us near a battle zone between lingering Canadian cold and early spring warmth to the south. A fair, milder start to the period here likely gives way to unsettled weather mid period then drying, cooler weather late in the period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
