DAYS 1-5 (FEBRUARY 27 – MARCH 3)

A strong cold front from eastern Canada will move into northern New England today and across southern New England during this evening. Ahead of this front, we warm a little more than what we saw yesterday, and combined with the higher sun angle we’ll see more melting and compaction / settling of our recently delivered snow pack (except South Coast where much of the much lighter snow accumulated melted yesterday or partially melted then re-froze to an icy crust). We’ll see the wind increase today ahead of that front, balancing out the colder and less windy Saturday and making the air temperature feel very similar, but with that bite from the wind. As the front goes by this evening, scattered snow showers and perhaps an isolated heavier snow squall are what to look for, and any of these may put down a quick coating of snow. They will depart quickly and then in comes a shot of cold and blustery weather overnight and Monday. Winds will drop off later Monday as Canadian high pressure builds in. Tuesday morning will be a cold one just as this high shifts offshore, and for the first day of March we’ll see clouds move in ahead of an approaching clipper low pressure system which may bring a touch of snow (rain or snow South Coast) Tuesday night and early Wednesday. A follow up system will do something similar Wednesday night into early Thursday, and this one will have to be watched for a quick secondary development which could mean a slightly better shot at some accumulating snow for some areas. There are still several days to fine-tune this potential event.

TODAY: Sunny morning. Sun/cloud mix afternoon. Highs 35-42. Wind SW 5-15 MPH, gusts 20-30 MPH.

TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy scattered snow showers and potential isolated heavier snow squalls this evening. Clearing overnight. Lows 9-16. Wind shifting to NW 10-20 MPH, higher gusts. Wind chill near to below 0 at times.

MONDAY: Sunny. Highs 22-29. Wind N 5-15 MPH, higher gusts in the morning.

MONDAY NIGHT: Clear. Lows 5-10 interior areas, 10-15 coastal and urban locations. Wind variable up to 10 MPH.

TUESDAY: Increasing clouds. Late-day rain or snow showers possible. Highs 35-42. Wind W 5-15 MPH.

TUESDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy with a chance of snow/mix/rain showers (mix/rain most likely near South Coast). Lows 28-34. Wind W 5-15 MPH.

WEDNESDAY: Variably cloudy. Snow or rain showers possible both early and late. Highs 35-42. Wind SW 10-20 MPH.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Cloudy with snow possible except rain or snow South Coast. Lows 27-34. Wind variable 5-15 MPH.

THURSDAY: Cloudy with a chance of snow/mix early, then clearing. Temperatures steady or falling. Wind N-NW 10-20 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (MARCH 4-8)

High pressure brings fair and chilly weather to the region on March 4. Pattern becomes unsettled after this with two systems likely to impact us, one over the March 5-6 weekend with a variety of precipitation possible including snow/ice/rain, and a second system March 7-8 odds with odds favoring rain/mix as it should be milder for the second system. But that’s a long way off so there will be much time to scope-out the details.

DAYS 11-15 (MARCH 9-13)

Indications are for a return to colder weather with some additional precipitation threats possible.

  1. Thanks TK.

    The tv mets aren’t particularly “bullish” regarding the potential late Wednesday-early Thursday event. If you feel it bears watching then so be it. 🙂

    I’m still rooting for Boston to beat Worcester, even if it’s by just 0.1”. It can’t be THAT much out of the realm of possibility, can it? 😉

    1. It’s not a frequent occurrence, but it definitely can happen. I’d say odds are better than average given the current snow totals and time of year. I still think it goes the other way though. It’s going to be fun to track though, like Boston vs NYC last season.

  3. Thanks TK for posting the Worcester information on the previous blog. The 20 years worth is helpful as a start. Thanks again. 🙂

    Any more snow info you come across, let me know. Yes, that type is difficult to find.

  6. Good morning TK and everyone!

    We were supposed to go on a seals and seabird cruise from New Bedford to Cuttyhunk, today, but the gale warning has caused the trip to be postponed. Hopefully it will be a warmer, calmer day when it does happen.

    We’re heading to Grenada in the Caribbean next Sunday, flying out at 5:30 am, so I’m watching the weather hoping the predicted storminess doesn’t impact our trip. We’re flying via Miami, so no snow worries there.

    Finger crossed for calm weather next weekend, and that late winter softens into early spring by mid-March when we return…

    1. They will be moving away from the best instability as they head south. This was my reasoning for going with scattered snow showers & isolated squalls. Nothing like 2-19.
