DAYS 1-5 (FEBRUARY 21-25)
\nAn anomalously strong ridge of high pressure will deliver one more very warm day for much of the region with several records likely falling. There was a boundary of cooler air that moved down the coast from northern New England into northeastern MA and southeastern NH, as far southwest as parts of Metro Boston overnight but it should be pushed back the other way today with a generally southwest flow taking over. This flow will keep the South Coast and Cape Cod cooler, as would be expected. But a cold front is on the way and will sweep through the region from northwest to southeast this evening, producing some rain showers, and delivering colder air. As this cold air arrives, the front will slow to a stop just south of New England and a wave of low pressure will bring an area of precipitation to the region Thursday midday and afternoon, which will be in the form of snow and sleet for parts of the region, along with some minor accumulation. This will be the beginning of a stretch of unsettled weather, with additional waves of low pressure following later Friday and again Saturday night into Sunday. These may produce some frozen or freezing precipitation mainly over interior areas, but otherwise will be largely rain producers. Forecast details…

DAYS 6-10 (FEBRUARY 26-MARCH 2)
\nA colder trend the last few days of the month with what looks like a minor disturbance passing through with rain\/snow showers late February 27. As March gets underway briefly milder with rain\/mix March 1 then clearing and colder March 2. Timing uncertain so confidence is low.<\/p>\n
DAYS 11-15 (MARCH 3-7)
\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":"
