DAYS 1-5 (MARCH 22-26)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now that spring has arrived and you were teased with a mostly sunny and mild day yesterday, you probably would love a string of such days. But you’re not going to get that. This is New England, and it may be spring, but it’s also still March, and it’s rare to have such a stretch of weather so early in this season. What we will be seeing is an active pattern sending a couple lows and frontal systems our way, with temperature changes, and often unsettled weather through the coming weekend. Here’s how I expect it to break down: Weak high pressure holds on today with fair weather during the day, but clouds increase ahead of a warm front. That front may produce a little light rainfall later tonight as it goes through, and then we get into a warm sector between it and a cold front as a wave of low pressure passes to our north on Thursday. Along with a warmer day Thursday, we’ll have to contend with rain showers triggered by the frontal boundary that is moving into the region. This will push through at night and while it dries us out for Friday, clouds may be stubborn to depart and it will also turn cooler. The dry interlude will be brief as the next low pressure area makes a run at our region from the west southwest by the weekend. Saturday is expected to be a chilly, overcast day with the warm front from the next system not really making it into and definitely not through the region as high pressure to the north and northeast holds the colder air in – maybe enough cold so that some areas start as snow and\/or sleet for a brief time on Saturday before going to rain. A secondary low forming and moving just south of our region will do its part to hold the chilly air in, so when it starts to pull away Sunday we stay on the cool side, even if we dry out – which may be a slow process. So, not the greatest outlook for the first weekend of spring here – and it should come as no surprise. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 6-10 (MARCH 27-31)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The home stretch of March is expected to feature a continued pattern of frequent weather changes. Highest confidence of a dry day maybe even a sunnier one on March 27, then lower confidence on timing of systems but lots of clouds and additional wet weather (maybe even some frozen precipitation involved) heading through next week. Temperatures below normal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall pattern continues to look wetter and cooler than normal for the early days of April.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
