DAYS 1-5 (MARCH 18-22)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A little delay to the clearing today as a ripple of low pressure moved up along the cold front moving offshore. An area of rain showers moving across far southeastern New England is exiting now and the dry weather in the remainder of the region moves into that area as well, despite the clouds hanging on for a portion of the day before some clearing finally works in. Despite the lack of sun, it will be a mild March day with a shot of colder air waiting for the passage of a secondary cold front tonight. This front may bring a snow shower to the higher elevations of central MA and southern NH but these should fade to a few flurries and sprinkles or nothing at all south and east of there. What won’t fade is the wind and chilly air heading in for the second half of the weekend – making Sunday feel a bit more like mid winter in comparison to today. Wind chill readings will be down in the 20s when you combine the gusty wind with air temps in the 30s. But this is only here for a short stay. As we head toward the vernal equinox Monday (late afternoon), the last hours of winter will be met with fair, more tranquil, milder weather after a cold start to the day. And this milder trend will definitely be evident for the first full day of spring on Tuesday, continuing into Wednesday as well, though Wednesday’s temperatures may come down just a little bit. I’m going to leave you with a little quiz to try to figure out why the temperatures on Wednesday may be a little cooler than the day before it. The answer shows up in this detailed forecast…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
