DAYS 1-5 (MARCH 15-19)

Low pressure passes north of our area today and its cold front will drop southward into the region later today through tonight with a few rain showers possible. This front pushes to the south on Wednesday which will be fair and slightly cooler. Low pressure passes south of the region later Thursday bringing some rainfall to especially southern and eastern areas. Friday’s forecast is uncertain, as we may be dealing with leftover clouds and a light northerly air flow behind the Thursday system to start the day, and a fairly weak pressure gradient between that low, a stronger low approaching the Great Lakes, with high pressure in between to our south will allow for the development of an onshore breeze if the sky clears out between Thursday’s system and the next approaching low pressure area. Friday looks like a fair weather day, but it may not see as widespread warmth as you have seen advertised in many forecasts. By Saturday, the aforementioned low approaching will be moving in with more wet weather.

TODAY: Variably cloudy. A late-day rain shower possible southern NH and northern MA. Highs 44-51 South Coast, 51-58 elsewhere but may fall back to the upper 40s eastern coastal areas. Wind SW up to 10 MPH except coastal sea breezes in the afternoon.

TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Rain showers likely southern NH and northern MA. Chance of a few rain showers southern MA southward. Lows 35-42. Wind variable to N up to 10 MPH.

WEDNESDAY: Early clouds, then sun returns. Highs 45-52. Wind N to E up to 10 MPH.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Increasing clouds. Lows 35-42. Wind SE up to 10 MPH.

THURSDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of light rain midday and afternoon favoring eastern CT, RI, and southeastern MA. Chance of coastal drizzle. Highs 45-52. Wind E up to 10 MPH.

THURSDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Evening light rain/drizzle possible southern and eastern areas. Areas of fog. Lows 38-45. Wind NE-N up to 10 MPH.

FRIDAY: Variably cloudy. Highs 53-60 southern NH and northern MA as well as South Coast, 61-68 in between these areas. Wind variable up to 10 MPH.

FRIDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Chance of rain overnight. Lows 40-47. Wind NE up to 10 MPH.

DAYS 11-15 (MARCH 25-29)

We’ll sit in a battle zone between southeastern USA warmth and Canadian cold, leaving us vulnerable to a couple episodes of unsettled weather late in the month.

    1. Probably along east coast Massachusetts, especially with that just departed weak coastal low Thursday night. That may help promote light winds and a seabreeze Friday in east coastal Mass.

      Now Springfield, MA and Hartford, CT, I think they have a shot at 70F.

      1. Well, that would be typical Spring wouldn’t it. 🙂

        One good thing. Water temps are above average, which would mean a lesser cooling effect.

        currently 40.64
        average: 37.45

        3.19 degrees above average. I’ll take it.

        1. As far as the human body is concerned, I doubt a 3 degree difference will be all that noticeable. A moderate breeze off the harbor is still going to be bone chilling for another month or so.

          1. I would disagree. Perhaps right on the water, but where I am, a 3 degree difference in Water temp could mean a greater difference in what the temp would be here
            with that sea breeze. Trust me, it is noticeable here.

            I agree, standing on the water’s edge, probably not much difference.

    2. Well, not necessarily. That’s entirely possible as well. I’m just skeptical. 🙂

  9. 50F at Logan, east wind at 15 MPH, temp heading into the 40s soon.

    I’m going to say Logan hits 54 Friday. That’s 2 degrees higher than my forecast a few days ago for Friday.

  11. Thanks, TK

    Voting unanimously, the US Senate passed “The Sunshine Protection Act” today, making permanent Daylight Saving Time.
    The bill now goes to the US House of Representatives and, if passed there, goes to the president’s desk to be signed into law. This will go into effect in November, 2023 if approved.

    1. That has to be one of the stupidest names for an “act” I’ve ever heard, and no, I don’t agree with it either. I mean, it’s fine and all, but just wait. If we go to Daylight Saving Time year-round, I don’t want to hear ANYBODY who was in favor of this complaining when the sun rises after 8 a.m. in November & December. They’re going to have to deal with it when kids are going to school in the dark. Far more children will be traveling in the dark than would have been traveling in the dark in the afternoon if we were on standard time at that time of year. Doubt they considered that…
