DAYS 1-5 (MARCH 18-22)
\nHigh pressure tries to hang on today as a low pressure area dives southeastward from the Great Lakes toward the Mid Atlantic Coast. This initial low will send some cloudiness into the region later today and perhaps some areas of very light to light snow tonight. The low will redevelop south and southeast of New England Sunday then take its time departing through Monday. This will bring a threat of snow and rain to eastern MA and RI Sunday and Sunday night with some lingering drops and flakes into Monday over eastern areas. Monday is the occurrence of the Vernal Equinox, or in more simple terms, the first day of spring. But we’ll have to wait until Tuesday to have a day that feels a little more like spring. But in typical New England fashion, that will be a tease, as an arctic air mass plunges out of Canada and arrives here on Wednesday.
\nTODAY: Sunshine fading behind increasing clouds. Highs 33-40. Wind light variable.
\nTONIGHT: Cloudy. A few periods of very light to light snow with only a few dustings possible.. Lows 20-27. Wind light N to NE.
\nSUNDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT: Cloudy. Periods of rain and snow, becoming mainly snow, especially RI and eastern MA, with some accumulation of up to 1 or 2 inches except locally heavier, with most accumulation occurring on unpaved surfaces and during the evening hours. Highs 30-37. Lows 22-30. Wind light NE to N early then increasing to 10-20 MPH except 20-30 MPH with higher gusts Cape Cod area.
\nMONDAY: Mostly cloudy. A bit of light rain\/snow possible eastern areas early. Highs 37-44.
\nTUESDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows 20-27. Highs 45-53.
\nWEDNESDAY: Partly cloudy. Windy. Lows 15-22. Highs 28-35.<\/p>\n
DAYS 6-10 (MARCH 23-27)
\nDry and cold to start then a warm-up follows. A flip to colder late in the period will probably be preceded by rain then mix\/snow for parts of the region.<\/p>\n
DAYS 11-15 (MARCH 28-APRIL 1)
\nAnother episode of unsettled weather is most likely during the early to middle of this period. Temperatures moderate then cool again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
