DAYS 1-5 (MARCH 2-6)

One minor low pressure system went by last night with some snow and mostly rain for the region. We’re between that and another approaching one today with dry weather and some sunshine during the day. Tonight’s system will bring more rain (south) and snow (north) with a bit of an accumulation possible. High pressure builds in with fair weather and below normal temperatures Thursday through Saturday, though each of these days will have its own distinguishing characteristic, with Thursday being the breezy one, Friday being the coldest one, and Saturday showing some increasing clouds ahead of our next weather system. This system is expected to bring unsettled weather to our region on Sunday, and it may be a situation where a warm front moving in has trouble moving through, cold air is trapped, and some variety of precipitation is the result. Fine tuning to come.

TODAY: Sunshine, patchy clouds. Highs 37-44. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

TONIGHT: Clouding up. Late evening and overnight snow/mix north, mix/rain south. Snow accumulation of a coating to 1 inch possible away from the South Coast. Lows 29-36. Wind variable 5-15 MPH.

THURSDAY: Sun/cloud mix. Highs 32-39. Wind NW 10-20 MPH.

THURSDAY NIGHT: Clear. Lows 15-22. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.

FRIDAY: Sunny. Highs 32-39. Wind variable up to 10 MPH.

FRIDAY NIGHT: Clear. Lows 12-19. Wind calm.

SATURDAY: Sunshine then increasing clouds. Highs 35-42. Wind SE up to 10 MPH.

SATURDAY NIGHT: Thickening overcast. Lows 25-32. Wind E under 10 MPH.

SUNDAY: Cloudy with a chance of rain/mix/snow. Highs 33-40. Wind E 5-15 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (MARCH 7-11)

Additional unsettled weather is possible early in the period with a low pressure area and frontal system in the vicinity. We may have a brief surge of warmer air before it turns colder again with dry weather by mid period. Unsettled weather may return by late in the period.

DAYS 11-15 (MARCH 12-16)

Temperatures near to below normal. Additional unsettled weather as we likely sit near a battle zone between cold to north and mild to south.

        1. Oh watched the video and loved it.

          I WISH we were doing more!@)(!#*&!@)(&@#*(!&@(#*&!(@*#&*(!@&#(*!&@(#*&!(*@#&(*!&@#(*&!(@*#&(!*@&#(*!&@#*(&!@*(#&!(*@#&(*!@&(#*(!&@*(#&!*(#&(*

  5. CPC 6-10 day outlook is for well above normal temperatures but the 8-14 day is for near normal temperatures.

    If we get last snows, most likely during the later period? Hmmmm.

  9. Thank you Tk

    I can’t believe we are already in March. Lent starts today Ash Wednesday. Have a great day!

  10. Walked a 10K this AM along the shore and on the beach. What a difference less wind and more sun makes!!

  11. Skeptical about outlook that says “well above normal temperatures.” Perhaps CPC forgot that the calendar says March 2nd, not February 2nd. Well above normal at this time of year implies 50s and above. While I think 50s will be reached on occasion over the next 14 days it will not be the norm. That’s my humble opinion.

    1. Well you can still have well above regardless of what time of year it is but I do agree that that outlook may be a little aggressive.

      Just this coming weekend my temperature thoughts are as much as 10 to 20° lower than some of the other forecasts I’ve seen.

      There are a lot of things this time of year that prevent warming in this area.

        1. Quoting myself: “SUNDAY: Cloudy with a chance of rain/mix/snow. Highs 33-40. Wind E 5-15 MPH.”

          Jury’s out.

  12. This is my annual reminder that as we roam through March the beloved Kuchera and other snowfall maps become useless. Not that they weren’t kind of useless all winter…Positive Change or depth maps will help much more, but even more will be applied meteorology. Frozen precip does not mean accumulating snowfall. Time of day. Sun angle. Precipitation. Ground Temp. They all make a difference. None of the models make a good run at this.

    Whatever you see or read right now, colder than modeled through March 15. That does not mean big snow. But frozen, crappy mix as a favorite, away from immediate coast, has some possibility.

    I am headed back to the UK for work next week. I owe all of you a long explanation for my lack of posts and what I am up to professionally. Soon. Maybe, on the flight over, I will write it out. Its all good.

    FYI – My house in Amherst 17″ of snow 2021-2022. So stop moaning. This winter, in the places where most people live in SNE has been better than predicted. My guess for Boston was 41″

    1. Hi JMA. You owe no explanation. It is a treat to see you when you have a minute. That said….if you have exciting news, we would be honored to share it with you

      I do not see your snow number on the contest page. But will add 41 for you.
