Pretty straightforward weather pattern to describe for the next several days, then a complex medium range (thank goodness it’s too early for detail).<\/p>\n
A bright cold Thursday – probably felt warmer than it was with the higher March sun. But another cold night is on tap as high pressure crests overhead, bringing a clear sky, calm wind, and dry air, allowing the temperature to fall easily. Then, legitimate moderation of air mass takes place on Friday and Saturday as high pressure slides eastward off the coast, but at the same time a developing storm system passing well southeast of the region may be just close enough to bring some rain to portions of Cape Cod and the Islands. A cold front will pass by Saturday night with a few snow showers and a return to cooler, but not too cold, Sunday.<\/p>\n
When we get to next week, things get more complex. A warm front approaches Monday with lots of clouds, and a wave of low pressure rides eastward along it, passing by early Tuesday then dragging the front southward as a cold front, introducing more cold air, and setting up a potential winter storm for mid to late week as a larger storm system may impact the region. Many days to monitor this possibility…<\/p>\n
