DAYS 1-5 (FEBRUARY 27 \u2013 MARCH 2)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
February has featured several mornings that started with heavy frost after a night of clear sky and light \/ calm wind. This morning is one of those for a good portion of the region, including right here in my own location. In fact, I’m starting to wonder if I’ve had more frost accumulation than snow accumulation this month. \ud83d\ude09 … Jokes aside, we have a very nice day ahead, despite an increase in cloud cover as we head through the afternoon. After a chilly early morning, temperatures will rebound nicely, with many areas cracking 50 by midday and areas away from the coast reaching well into the 50s by mid afternoon. Coastal communities will be on the cooler side as the wind will be light southeast to south – at least partially off the ocean water. Tonight, the pressure gradient tightens up ahead of an approaching cold front. This will continue through the day Wednesday too. Episodes of rain showers will occur both tonight and Wednesday. The cold front itself will not arrive until Wednesday evening when it’s due to sweep west to east across the region, accompanied by one final round of heavier rainfall. Some locations may see this rain end as a mix of precipitation or wet snow as cold air will be incoming very quickly as the front goes by. At most, a brief slushy accumulation of snow may occur on some surfaces mainly west and north of Boston Wednesday night before dry air arrives on a gusty, shifted wind. The final day of the month on Thursday (Leap Day) will feature a sun\/cloud mix with a gusty wind and chilly air, made to feel colder by the wind. We welcome March on Friday with a fair and slightly milder day with less wind as high pressure sinks to the south of New England. This high will slide offshore and make way for a weak area of low pressure to lift northeastward from the Mid Atlantic toward southern New England, bringing clouds and possibly some wet weather back into the region for the beginning of the weekend on Saturday. There’s some disagreement in the medium range guidance as to the movement of this feature, so treat the outlook with a grain of salt until I can refine the timing \/ impact expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 6-10 (MARCH 3-7)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Optimistically calling for fair weather March 3 to finish off the first weekend of the new month, but additional unsettled weather from low pressure hanging around offshore \/ near the coast can occur before another trough from the west with additional wet weather sweeps eastward through the region. The period may end with dry, chilly weather and a stronger westerly air flow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (MARCH 8-12)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fair weather to start the period, additional unsettled weather opportunities mid to late period. Temperatures above normal for the period, but may be a colder trend with time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
