DAYS 1-5 (FEBRUARY 22-26)
\nThe front is to the south now, the spring\/summer preview is over, and we return to weather a little more seasonable, and part of that includes a period of precipitation today as a wave of low pressure slides along the front just to the south. This will start out as rain for many, possibly sleet\/snow in southern NH and far northern MA, and then the transition will be to bring the sleet\/snow area further south, but by the time it would reach the South Coast region the precipitation should be set to move out and only a rain\/sleet mix would occur there. Elsewhere, where sleet\/snow occurs for a longer time, there will probably be a minor accumulation. This is gone tonight, and as the boundary sits to the south the next disturbance will come along and bring another round of precipitation late Friday and Friday night. It should be cold enough to support a little sleet\/snow favoring central MA and southern NH followed by a transition to rain, with a mix to rain or just rain elsewhere, although we’ll have to keep an eye on surface temperatures over the interior typical cold spots for the possibility of freezing rain. A larger area of low pressure follows this into southeastern Canada but its sweeping occluded front will spawn a new low to track just south of or over the region Sunday and Sunday night, and this will bring yet another round of precipitation that may be similar to the one late Friday, again watching similar areas for some snow\/sleet\/freezing rain, though rain should be dominant in most of the region. This one-two-three unsettled episode then comes to an end as high pressure moves in during Monday. Forecast details…
\nTODAY: Cloudy. Precipitation develops west to east midday and early afternoon as snow\/sleet\/rain north and rain south, then transitions to sleet then snow southward but only mixing with sleet South Coast. Temperatures fall slowly through the 30s. Wind light NE.
\nTONIGHT: Cloudy evening with snow except rain\/sleet South Coast region, ending early, with accumulation of a coating to 1 inch away from the South Coast except possibly up to 2 inches in higher elevations of central MA and southern NH. Mostly cloudy overnight. Untreated surfaces will be icy. Lows 25-32. Wind light NE to N.
\nFRIDAY: Mostly cloudy. Late-day rain except possibly sleet\/snow parts of central and northeastern MA to southern NH but no significant accumulation. Highs 35-42. Wind light NE to SE.
\nFRIDAY NIGHT: Cloudy. Rain except areas of freezing rain, sleet, snow possible central and northeastern MA to southern NH, tapering off late evening. Lows 30-37. Wind light SE to S.
\nSATURDAY: Partly sunny. Highs 48-55. Wind light SW to NW.
\nSUNDAY: Overcast with rain except possible mix north central MA to southern NH. Lows from the lower to middle 30s. Highs from the upper 30s to middle 40s, mildest South Coast.
\nMONDAY: Partly to mostly sunny. Lows in the 30s. Highs in the 40s.<\/p>\n
DAYS 6-10 (FEBRUARY 27-MARCH 3)
\nA weakening low pressure area may bring a few clouds February 27 but no precipitation expected at this time. High pressure dominates with fair weather February 28. Low pressure brings the chance of rain\/mix\/snow March 1 before a drying but windy\/colder trend takes over March 2-3.<\/p>\n
DAYS 11-15 (MARCH 4-8)
\nLarge scale pattern will feature a block with high pressure in eastern Canada to Greenland and low pressure near the US East Coast with near to below normal temperatures and episodes of unsettled weather here, which may include some frozen precipitation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
