DAYS 1-5 (MARCH 20-24)…
\nThe Vernal Equinox, the astronomical start of Spring, occurred at 12:30AM. But you know that doesn’t mean too much with regards to weather. It snows in Spring here, and this will be proven nicely in just a matter of hours. Today, I’ll spare you the long editorials and just say that the various array of computer models, which have had so much difficulty putting the pieces of this atmospheric puzzle together, have finally come to some kind of agreement, and for the meteorologists that survived the process, we have a reasonable feel for what is going to transpire as a complex low pressure system tries to get organized as it tracks northeastward, passing not too far southeast of southern New England by early Monday. Yes there will be some rain involved somewhere, and there will be a variation in snowfall amounts based on whether or not any rain occurs and the location of heaviest snow bands associated with the strengthening system. The expected results of this will be reflected in the forecast that follows. Brief cold is expected to linger behind the storm, and then the transition back toward milder air begins anew by midweek, marked by another period of unsettled weather as a warm front moves in but struggles to move through.
