DAYS 1-5 (MARCH 10-14)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Two storms are ours to deal with during this 5-day period – the first is no big deal, the second is a bigger deal. First, high pressure provides us with a nice day today. The wind will be much lighter than the last few days as the ocean storm has moved away. Sunshine which starts out bright will become filtered by a shield of high clouds in advance of the first low we have to contend with. This storm system, while destined to become quite strong, will do so after it’s deflected southeastward, just grazing our area with some generally light precipitation. A minor accumulation of snowfall is possible mainly south and west of Boston overnight and early Saturday before the precipitation area largely dries up and a new low takes over south of New England, and heads out to sea. So that system starts our weekend a bit grey and unsettled. After the precipitation shield skirts our southern and western regions we may see a batch of rain and snow showers rotate in north of low center off the ocean, but then we recover with nicer weather late Saturday through Sunday. The next storm approaches Monday and moves in Monday night and Tuesday. This one is going to have a much higher impact on our region. What’s pretty certain is we’ll deal with some strong winds and coastal issues (though astronomical tides are not that high which is a positive aspect). What’s uncertain is the precipitation types \/ distribution – still to be worked out. F’or now odds favor more rain south and east (especially coastal areas) and more snow north and west (interior especially). It’s also not necessarily likely to be just one or the other for any given location, as transitions between precipitation types are also quite possible. So there will be lots of fine-tuning to come over the next few days. Bottom line: Don’t jump to any solid conclusions – just watch the updates… Reminder, EST becomes EDT at 2 a.m. Sunday when we move the clocks forward 1 hour (unless they do so automatically of course)!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
