One cold front is crossing southeastern New England with rain showers early to mid morning. A second front will cross the region from northwest to southeast with some clouds and only a slight chance of a rain or snow shower this evening. In between we will see a variably cloudy sky with only a few isolated rain showers but largely dry weather during most of the day, along with fairly mild air but also a gusty breeze. Not a perfect day, but not bad for mid March near the end of a pretty harsh winter.<\/p>\n
The second cold front will deliver another batch of modified Arctic air that will take up residence over the region Sunday into early next week. What could have been a St. Pat’s Day snowstorm on Monday will slip out to sea to the south thanks to strong westerly winds aloft, courtesy our old pal, the Polar Vortex, which is still doing regular wobbles around eastern Canada as it has for much of the winter.<\/p>\n
By the middle of next week, high pressure that comes overhead Tuesday will slide offshore, allowing milder air in, and the next weaker storm will likely travel through the Great Lakes and be a rain shower producer here late Wednesday or Thursday, with dry and cooler weather at the end of next work week.<\/p>\n
