DAYS 1-5 (FEBRUARY 27-MARCH 3)
\nSome very nice late February weather today into Wednesday as high pressure dominates today then retreats to the east Wednesday as a cold front approaches from the north. Continuing to watch the coming evolution of a blocking pattern and the first storm threat during this pattern. As is typically the case, there remains some varied solutions on the different computer guidance, but the overall idea remains the same for now. The greatest early concern is the coastal flooding threat due to a long fetch of onshore wind. Looking for largely a rain event arriving late Thursday or Thursday night that may end as snow for at least parts of the region Friday before the storm’s precipitation gets pushed to the south. The precipitation type will depend on the exact temperature profile in the atmosphere which will be marginal, as well as the intensity of the precipitation. If the storm is too far to the south you lack heavier precipitation and colder air aloft to be dragged toward the surface. So it will be a fine line. Looking for the system to be far enough south by Saturday that we are largely dry here with just continued gusty wind and a possible rain\/snow shower.
\nTODAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 47-54. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
\nTONIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 30-37. Wind light W to SW.
\nWEDNESDAY: Partly sunny. Highs 47-54 South Coast, 55-61 elsewhere. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.
\nWEDNESDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Lows 35-41. Wind SW 5-10 MPH shifting to N.
\nTHURSDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of a few rain or mixed rain\/snow showers during the day. Rain arriving southwest to northeast at night. Highs 40-47. Wind NE to E increasing to 15-25 MPH with higher gusts especially coastal areas.
\nFRIDAY: Overcast with rain likely, possibly ending a mix\/snow, then breaking clouds northern and western areas. Temperatures cool 40s to 30s. Windy.
\nSATURDAY: Variably cloudy. Chance of a passing rain\/snow shower. Lows from the lower to middle 30s. Highs from the upper 30s to lower 40s. Windy.<\/p>\n
DAYS 6-10 (MARCH 4-8)
\nThe blocking weather pattern will be in control. Breezy but mainly dry weather with low pressure far offshore and high pressure to the north March 4-5. Next low pressure system approaches March 6 and evolves into a rain and\/or snow producer March 7-8. This system may have colder air to work with so something to watch closely.<\/p>\n
DAYS 11-15 (MARCH 9-13)
\nThe same pattern remains in place. Storm system departs to start the period then another one threatens later in the period, favoring March 12-13.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
