DAYS 1-5 (FEBRUARY 23-27)
\nAs we head into the final days of February we will transition from an active pattern with low pressure systems having just departed with yesterday’s rain\/sleet\/snow to 2 more coming with rain and some mix later today and again Sunday to a quieter pattern early next week as the atmosphere gets ready for a larger scale change… No big changes regarding the upcoming systems from yesterday’s discussion. Will watch the cold air for possible snow\/sleet in some interior locations for both of these, but neither will turn out as widespread frozen precipitation situations. At the moment I only think freezing rain could be briefly an issue in some of the valley locations of far north central MA and southwestern NH tonight and again early Sunday, but this should be very limited. Forecast details…
\nTODAY: Some morning sun then clouding over. Late-day rain except possibly sleet\/snow parts of central and northeastern MA to southern NH but no accumulation. Highs 37-44. Wind light NE to SE.
\nTONIGHT: Cloudy. Rain except a couple areas of freezing rain in valleys north central MA to southwestern 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 to start. 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 from the middle 40s to lower 50s.
\nTUESDAY: Partly to mostly sunny. Lows from the middle 20s to lower 30s. Highs from the middle 40s to lower 50s.<\/p>\n
DAYS 6-10 (FEBRUARY 28-MARCH 4)
\nFebruary ends quietly with fair weather on its last day. The early days of March see a change in the large scale pattern as a block develops in the atmosphere, but this block may be strong enough so that after an initial rain\/mix\/snow event on March 1 a larger storm will evolve well offshore to the southeast of New England for a couple days, keeping the region dry or with just a few rain\/snow showers, breezy conditions, and rough surf along the coast, and then we’ll have to monitor for a backing-up of this system late in the period for more direct impact. These patterns can evolve in a complex manner so confidence is not high at this point.<\/p>\n
DAYS 11-15 (MARCH 5-9)
\nThe pattern that evolves to start the month should continue during this period bringing cool but not super cold weather and a fairly high risk of unsettled weather.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
