DAYS 1-5 (MARCH 28 – APRIL 1)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Upper level low pressure, a piece of “polar vortex” brings us a cold air mass to start out this week. Snow showers are ushering in the coldest air for parts of the region as we start the day today, and there may be a few additional snow flurries during the day as we see a gusty northwesterly wind, lots of clouds, limited sun, and high temperatures that will challenge record low maximum temperatures for the day. Surface high pressure will still be west of us on Tuesday, and with low pressure spinning over eastern Canada we’ll continue in a chilly northwesterly air flow, though it will be up a few to several degrees over today, and with more sunshine at a much higher sun angle in late March it will feel nicer despite the breeze and chill. High pressure moves over us Tuesday night which will be quite cold again as a clear sky and lighter wind allow good radiating. Clouds move in Wednesday ahead of a warm front from a low pressure system heading for the Great Lakes. Much like a system we saw recently, this broad low pressure circulation will move through the Northeast late this week. Precipitation generated by the approaching warm front can be in the form of snow and\/or sleet Wednesday night as the atmosphere will still be cold. Eventually, the warm front should push through on Thursday, but the low’s cold front should not be that far behind and will bring rain showers as it moves in from the west later Thursday and Thursday night, into early Friday before it pushes offshore. But the air behind that front is not really going to be that cold initially, so Friday itself will be on the mild side to start April, with a sun \/ cloud mix and still a lingering rain shower possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TODAY: Lots of clouds, few intervals of sun. Snow showers with minor accumulation around early morning, especially southern NH \/ eastern MA, and a chance of a passing snow flurry at any other time during the day. Highs 29-36, coldest in the higher elevations southwestern NH \/ central MA. Wind NW 10-20 MPH, gusts around 30 MPH. Wind chill below 20 at times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TONIGHT: Clearing. Lows 16-23. Wind NW 5-15 MPH, higher gusts. Wind chill often below 10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TUESDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 36-43. Wind NW 10-20 MPH, higher gusts, diminishing late.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TUESDAY NIGHT: Clear. Lows 19-26. Wind N diminishing to under 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
WEDNESDAY: Increasing clouds. Highs 37-44. Wind variable up to 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Cloudy. Chance of snow\/sleet\/rain. Lows 30-37. Wind NE-E up to 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
THURSDAY: Mostly cloudy. Rain showers likely, especially late-day. Highs 50-57. Wind S 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
THURSDAY NIGHT: Cloudy. Rain showers likely. Lows 43-50. Wind SW 10-20 MPH shifting to W.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
FRIDAY: Sun\/cloud mix. Chance of rain showers. Highs 55-62. Wind W 10-20 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 6-10 (APRIL 2-6)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
High pressure builds in with fair weather but cooler for the April 2-3 weekend. We may have to watch for a disturbance with a period of precipitation on April 4 followed by dry weather April 5 then another precipitation threat at the end of the period, but confidence on that part of the forecast remains low.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (APRIL 7-11)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Forecast confidence remains low heading toward mid April too, but the large scale pattern should support near to below normal temperatures and additional episodes of unsettled weather, including the possibility of some late season frozen precipitation for at least parts of the region, favoring the early part of the period.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
