DAYS 1-5 (MARCH 23-27)
\n3 low pressure systems will impact the region during the next 5 days. The first one arrives later today and tonight and there is not much change to the previous forecast. There will be cold enough air for several inches of snow favoring higher elevations of interior locations, but some snow will occur closer to Boston as well, while southeastern MA and RI end up receiving mainly rain from the system. Its cause will be a low pressure system exiting the Mid Atlantic and passing just south of New England. The pressure gradient between it and high pressure in eastern Canada will get the wind going pretty decently, with gusts in the 40-50 MPH range from the east over Cape Cod tonight. But this thing will be moving steadily away on Tuesday, which will show some improvement, but probably not complete clearing. The next low will approach on Wednesday, a day that likely starts dry but ends rather wet. We’ll have to see how much cold air is around for some interior higher elevation mix\/snow but most of the region looks like it will receive rain from this system. Will monitor for changes. Another break on Thursday, but by Friday the next low pressure area approaches, the center of this one destined to pass north of the region, allowing the system to be accompanied by a little bit of a warm up and rain showers.
