DAYS 1-5 (MARCH 20-24)

Welcome to spring 2025! The vernal equinox occurred at 5:01 a.m., and the new season greets us with marine air, a stratus cloud deck, and areas of fog. This will hold in place all day, along with some areas of moderate to dense fog to start the day, especially in eastern coastal areas. While a few patches of light drizzle may occur in response to the marine air mass, it will be rain-free during the day today, but not tonight, as a cold front moves across the region with a band of rain. As a new area of low pressure forms on the front, moves over our area, then departs to the east, the rain will come to an end Friday morning, but can become mixed with or even change to wet snow for a brief time over interior higher elevations before doing so. This can produce a brief minor accumulation on some surfaces, but it won’t last. 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. An active weather pattern takes the next weather system in quickly with clouds advancing Sunday night and precipitation likely on Monday, mainly rain but may start as a period of snow especially inland / northern locations. Will monitor that as we get closer.

TODAY: Cloudy. Areas of fog, especially near the coast during this morning. Patchy light drizzle possible. Highs 44-51 coast, 51-58 inland. Wind E to SE up to 10 MPH.

TONIGHT: 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 45-52. Wind NW 10-20 MPH, higher gusts.

SUNDAY NIGHT: Increasing clouds. Lows 30-37. Wind NW 5-15 MPH, diminishing.

MONDAY: Overcast. Rain likely, may begin as snow in some areas, especially north and west of Boston. Highs 38-45. Wind NE 5-15 MPH.

Continued unsettled pattern with near to below normal temperatures. Precipitation events may include some mix/snow, depending on track/locations.

  1. REMINDER: Depending on your set-up (laptop, phone, format), the quick link to the NWS / NOAA Discussion weekly post may disappear from the recent posts. If that happens, go to the archives menu and click March 2025. You can then scroll down to find it there.

      1. Sounds about right. That was it for yesterday as well.
        NASTY SPRING WEATHER near the coast, but, sorry to say, very typical!!!!!

    1. Hah hah hah!

      I’m already out there on social media having to remind people that spring (March through May) is a cooler season than autumn (September through November) in New England. 😉

      1. It sure the hell is, especially anywhere near the coast.
        I mean Spring here is just DREADFUL!!!!!

  5. Thanks, TK!

    Happy Spring!

    Little darling
    It’s been a long, cold, lonely winter
    Little darling
    It feels like years since it’s been here
    Here comes the sun
    Here comes the sun
    And I say, it’s all right

  6. your all going into spring, im going into Fall. The time here currently allows sunlight until 9pm. and the sun doesn’t go up until 7ish. Anyway. Aparently Winter where I am at is like late October/November in Massachusetts. Anyways not sure if people saw the news but the Monarch butterfly population after years of decreasing reached its lowest population numbers in 2024. Good news though it nearly doubled this year. I been busy the last couple of weeks but I couldnt help but here about the tornado outbreak, what a job NOAA did at predicting it so far in advance and being on top of all those storms.

    1. Nice to hear from you Matt.

      Did you ever meet up with my Niece?

      You will be surprised how MILD your Winter will be. 🙂

    2. Always special to see you here, Matt. I heard the awesome news yesterday about the Monarch’s. Thank you for sharing it here.

      Very happy to hear that you are doing well.

    1. perhaps, BUT remember out new word, we have entered
      a strange and eerie season here in Eastern New England
      called:

      SPRINGSTER

    2. First day of spring is my favorite day (for multiple reasons.) The end of a long winter, my bday, ushering in warm weather, even more daylight, getting to go outside more!!!

        1. Thank you. And we will experience it soon enough!!! I’ll be complaining about humidity in no time!

          2. I’ll be right there with you.

            It destroys my wife but NEVER used to bother me, but now that I am older, it bothers me very much do now.

            I think I’ll move to CALGARY!!!

    1. Past owners bought for 200m in the early 00’s and get 6.1b. Talk about a return on investment.

    2. Who’s the buyer?

      I hope that the name isn’t going to be changed to the Boston Xs.

      Fire everyone over 6’2″!

      🙂

  11. I know March is usually a windy month and this year has been no exception. Do you see this becoming less of a factor in April? Do you see wind issues tomorrow?

  17. Thanks, TK.

    Spring is my least favorite season (from weather volatility to lots of gray skies to allergies to white and pink flowers). Summer isn’t that far ahead of spring, but I do like the many hours of light. Autumn and winter top my list of seasons. So, by late August I start to get a natural boost of serotonin.

    1. I agree Joshua. It usually takes until Memorial Day Weekend to finally get rid of that ocean chill around here.

      1. And some years well into June. I even remember one year where the chill didn’t leave until July 4th.

  18. Pray for the GFS. If it verifies, I’ll stop my daily everlasting counts for Boston getting a 6”+ snow event. If nothing happens this month, I’ll set up a set end date in April or when TK gives the “all clear” signal for snow. ❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️

    What is ironic, here in Quincy has long since had its 6” event, EXACTLY 6.0”. Go figure a South Shore community at that.

    1. lol. You’re cursed now. You’re probably going to be adding another comma before getting off the hook.

      Keep at it. Makes me laugh every morning.

  23. It’s a HEAT WAVE as Logan just jumped to 46 !!!!
    Big Woof!!!!

    57 here about 6 miles from Logan. 🙂

  28. Thanks for all the birthday wishes. We went up to portsmouth, nh so I could get lunch from one of my favorite places “gilleys”. I remembered I took a picture of myself there two years ago to the date (and 80 pounds heavier)… so I took a picture at the same spot today:
