DAYS 1-5 (FEBRUARY 26 – MARCH 1)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some quick and notable weather changes are on our menu over the next few days to round out the month of February and welcome in March too. It breaks down like this. First, a disturbance and warm front go through the region this morning with lots of clouds and a few inconsequential rain and snow showers, followed by the return of sunshine and a milder afternoon. The mild air will be dominant through Wednesday afternoon, and up to the arrival and passage of a strong cold front Wednesday evening, we’ll be in a robust southwesterly air flow. We’ll get to enjoy a fair amount of sun for at least part of Tuesday before clouds regain control thereafter. Rounds of rain showers are slated for Tuesday evening and off and on during Wednesday, but there can be some rain-free times Wednesday too. I’m just not expecting much in the way of any sunshine on Wednesday. The strongest round of precipitation – moderate to heavy showers and even a potential thunderstorm – comes on Wednesday evening just ahead of the cold front, which will sweep across the region fairly quickly. The temperature drop associated with this frontal passage may be quick enough that the rain ends as a mix of rain\/snow or even a period of wet snow in some areas, but any accumulation would be limited. We will have to watch for the formation of ice on untreated surfaces that don’t dry out by Thursday morning, as the temperature will have fallen to near or below freezing by then, especially from the Boston \/ Providence areas westward. Dry air, a gusty wind, and temperatures above freezing (though still in the 30s) for much of the day Thursday will eliminate any icy patches. High pressure slides quickly to our south by Friday, with fair weather, a cold start, and a milder afternoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TODAY: Lots of clouds with a few passing rain and\/or snow showers morning followed by the return of abundant sunshine from west to east. Highs 45-52. Wind SW increasing to 10-20 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 28-35, mildest South Coast. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TUESDAY NIGHT: Cloudy with a good chance of rain showers. Lows 43-50. Wind SW 10-20 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
WEDNESDAY: Mostly cloudy. Episodic rain showers. Highs 52-59, coolest South Coast. Wind SW 15-25 MPH, higher gusts likely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Cloudy with rain showers, some heavy, including the chance of thunderstorms, during the evening, ending from west to east late evening \/ overnight, possibly as mixed rain\/snow or a period of wet snow. Lows 28-35. Wind SW 15-25 MPH, higher gusts, shifting to NW from west to east.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
THURSDAY: Sun and passing clouds. Highs 33-40. Wind NW 15-25 MPH with higher gusts, diminishing later in the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
THURSDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 20-27. Wind W 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
FRIDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 38-45. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 6-10 (MARCH 2-6)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Watching for a quick, semi-sneaky low pressure area that can start the first weekend of March with at least cloudiness and potentially a bit of wet weather instead of the previously dry forecast, but the majority of the first weekend of March should end up rain-free with fairly mild temperatures. Additional refining of the weekend outlook will take place in coming updates. Another opportunity for unsettled weather may present itself by the middle to latter portion of this period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (MARCH 7-11)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fair weather is most likely from the early to mid portion of this period, with unsettled weather chances increasing later on. While the period as a whole is expected to see above normal temperatures, we may experience a chill-down before it’s over with colder air seeping southward from Canada.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
