DAYS 1-5 (FEBRUARY 20-24)
\nInto the wedge of warmth we go for 2 days before a cold front slices through the region and puts an end to the spring preview late Wednesday. Cloudiness will prevent most areas from reaching maximum potential temperatures today, though the warmest will occur north and west of Boston, primarily north of I-90 and west of I-95, centered in the Merrimack Valley and southern NH. Temperatures come up a few notches Wednesday just ahead of the cold front, with again cloudiness and ocean-modified air keeping the South Coast and adjacent areas cooler while the warmest air is over the same areas it was today. A few showers may accompany the cold front Wednesday evening, and this front will then come to a halt just south of New England Thursday, allowing a small ripple of low pressure to move along it. Cold air will be draining in all the while and a period of precipitation, possibly in the form of snow\/sleet north and rain south, is expected Thursday. This boundary is going to sit to the south with southern New England on the cooler side of it right into the coming weekend too and another round of precipitation, mainly rain that may start as some snow\/ice interior, is expected Friday night and early Saturday and another area of most likely rain\/mix approaching later Saturday.

DAYS 6-10 (FEBRUARY 25-MARCH 1)
\nA broad low pressure area brings a chance of rain\/ice\/snow February 25. Will watch the period February 26-28 for an additional disturbance moving through from northwest to east that may produce additional rain\/mix\/snow. Dry weather follows. Temperatures trend colder.<\/p>\n
DAYS 11-15 (MARCH 2-6)
\nExpecting a blocking pattern with high pressure across eastern Canada and low pressure between the Mid Atlantic and western Atlantic. This pattern will feature generally near to below normal temperatures and occasionally unsettled weather, however the main storminess may be to the south and southeast of New England in this set-up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
