DAYS 1-5 (MARCH 19-23)

We are now under 24 hours from the official start of spring, with the occurrence of the vernal equinox at 5:01 a.m. Thursday. High pressure governs today’s weather, which will be pleasant by March standards. After a chilly morning, abundant sun will feel nice by noon and onward, as wind will be fairly light. But light wind and fair weather at this time of year often means onshore winds near the coast, and cooler conditions there. This will be true today. Clouds advance in from the ocean late-day and tonight due to the easterly air flow as higher clouds show up from west to east this evening and tonight ahead of our next trough and frontal system. This leads to a rather grey day for us to welcome spring with on Thursday, with a few patches of drizzle and areas of fog with increased presences of moist marine air. As the system from the west approaches, and a new low pressure area develops and heads into the region, a slug of rain will occur Thursday night into Friday morning. As the new low moves to our east, the rain can end as some mixed precipitation and snow for interior higher elevations and a few lingering very light showers of rain and/or snow can take place during the afternoon as colder air moves in on a gusty north to northwest wind. The weekend will be ok in general. Saturday will be the warmer of the 2 days with a quick wind shift to southwest ahead of an approaching cold front. This front may produce a quick rain shower in the evening Saturday and maybe a brief snow shower overnight as a secondary trough passes. This will set up a fair but breezy and much cooler Sunday.

TODAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 48-55 coast, 55-62 inland. Wind N up to 10 MPH shifting to E.

TONIGHT: Increasing clouds. Lows 35-42. Wind E under 10 MPH.

THURSDAY: Mostly cloudy. Highs 46-53. Wind SE 5-15 MPH.

THURSDAY NIGHT: Cloudy. Rain likely. Lows 38-45. Wind variable 5-15 MPH.

FRIDAY: Cloudy morning with rain possibly ending as mix and/or snow, especially interior higher elevations. Partly sunny with a passing light rain or snow shower possible afternoon. Temperatures steady 38-45, may fall slightly. Wind N to NW 10-20 MPH, higher gusts.

FRIDAY NIGHT: Clearing. Lows 26-33. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.

SATURDAY: Sunny morning. Increasing clouds afternoon with a late day or evening rain/mix shower possible. Highs 48-55. Wind NW 5-15 MPH shifting to SW, a few higher gusts.

SATURDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. A passing rain/mix/snow shower possible. Lows 35-42. Wind SW 5-15 MPH shifting to NW.

SUNDAY: Partly to mostly sunny. Highs 50-57. Wind NW 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.

    2. Yay, Captain !

      We hit that Monday, 122 today and early release.

      Professional Development mtgs for teachers this afternoon.

      Topic: AI ……. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz 🙂

      1. Administration is so original 🙂 that was the theme for our professional development this year too. And it was just as exciting as you’re expecting. This is the time of year I get to brag though, because we only have 46 days left.

            1. Yes, although I’m in grading hell right now…research papers for AP classes plus project for the other class plus tests in all classes next week… but 8 more days and we’re on spring break! The week of March 31st for me. (The following week for my girls)

    1. This is why I went “inland higher elevations” and didn’t really mention it for elsewhere.

  10. SSK, I was down your way for lunch at Longhorn Steakhouse off route 3 this afternoon. I lunched with a few of the other residents of my facility.

    I haven’t been to Longhorn since they were in Cleveland Circle in Boston/ Brighton years ago.
    🙂

    1. Yum. I know right where that is. Hope it was good.

      The longhorn near me is consistently excellent.

    2. Hi Philip: I’m ten minutes down the road from there . It’s a nice spot there & I am up in that complex doing something all the time . I hope you enjoyed your afternoon in pembroke & the meal .

  13. 4:00 p.m.

    Temperature range across the state is 30 degrees, from 39 at Marshfield to 69 at North Adams.

    Logan is 40 with the airport enshrouded in fog and an east wind at 16 MPH. That drives the “feels like” temp to the middle 30s. Brr!

    1. Yup, very raw with some waves of fog rolling in.

      We have begun spr-inter along the coast. This coastal seasons ends in early June.

    1. While I agree with the chilly and unsettled regime, they might be leaning a little too heavily on the GFS, which definitely has a notable cold bias right now.

      1. Does that mean more temp changes to the CPC in the coming days back in the “other” direction?

        1. No. I’m pretty sure we’re going into a cool regime for a while. April does not look like a particularly warm month right now.

    1. I think a lot of people make themselves feel “important” when they attack someone and/or put them down.

      Those are the people who need to take a look at themselves, because they are indeed THE problem.

    2. I saw his post and looked at the replay. Pete never says anything off the cuff. It’s worth watching with his comments in mind

  18. Thanks TK.

    We are in Denver right now on a layover on our way to Calgary. Much colder here with some snow on the ground in eastern Colorado as we were descending.

    We flew right over those severe storms in Illinois earlier. Pilot brought us up to 37,000 altitude to get over the tops of those storm clouds and we barely cleared them. Was very turbulent for about 20 min. Hoping the next flight is a bit smoother

    Looking a bit snowy in Banff the next few days. I’ll check in when we are there!

          1. Will definitely be taking many. While I will welcome some fresh snow, hoping we get at least one clear day to see some views.

            1. Awesome. Such a special trip. Fingers crossed for a clear day too but I know you’ll have an awsome adventure
