DAYS 1-5 (MARCH 22-26)

Spring is here and the late March portion of it is a time when we have many weather mood swings typically, and some of what will be on display during this 5 day period, including this weekend. Today will feel more like mid spring with a shot of mild air. The daylight hours will be mainly dry as a strong cold front approaches from the west. It will be a breezy day taking a little bit away from the mildness of the air, but not too much. This front has little moisture to work with so only a brief passing rain shower favors areas north of I-90 this evening. A secondary trough may initiate a brief snow flurry in northern MA and/or southern NH overnight, leading a shot of colder air into the region, so our mild Saturday as followed by a chilly Sunday. A gusty wind will make high temps in the 40s feel more like 30s. Sunday night’s a cold one as clouds move in ahead of a low pressure area. This system will cross the region during Monday, and with enough cold air around it can and probably will start as snow over a portion of the region, especially north of I-90 and from I-95 westward, where some minor accumulation may occur before rain takes over. The storm departs Monday night, but cold air aloft means a lot of clouds can be around on Tuesday, but with no more than a passing light shower of rain/mix/snow, with a chilly breeze expected. The next low pressure system, small and fast-moving, brings another chance of unsettled weather to our region on Wednesday, but this one may scoot a little further south and be more of a side-swipe. I’ll follow the trends on that as we get closer to it.

TODAY: Sun through high clouds, eventually more clouds than sunshine. Highs 55-62 except 48-55 South Coast. Wind SW 5-15 MPH, gusts 20-25 MPH.

TONIGHT: Variably cloudy. A passing rain shower possible evening. A passing snow shower possible overnight. Lows 33-40. Wind SW shifting to NW 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.

SUNDAY: Sun and passing clouds. Highs 45-52. Wind NW 10-20 MPH, gusts 25-35 MPH.

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 with a small accumulation possible on unpaved surfaces. Highs 40-47. Wind NE 5-15 MPH.

MONDAY NIGHT: Cloudy with areas of fog evening, rain tapering off. Breaking clouds overnight. Lows 35-42. Wind variable up to 10 MPH, becoming W 5-15 MPH.

TUESDAY: Intervals of clouds and sun. A brief passing rain/mix/snow shower possible. Highs 42-49. Wind W 10-20 MPH, higher gusts.

TUESDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy evening. Mostly cloudy overnight. Lows 32-39. Wind W 5-15 MPH, diminishing.

WEDNESDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of rain, some mix possible, favoring southern areas. Highs 40-47. Wind variable 5-15 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (MARCH 27-31)

The home stretch of March features an unsettled pattern and generally below normal temperatures. A disturbance or two can bring a few showers of rain/mix/snow to the region early period. A more substantial low pressure area may bring a more significant precipitation event after that.

DAYS 11-15 (APRIL 1-5)

An unsettled pattern with below normal temperatures for early April. Details TBD.

  5. It is the first weekend of spring and it’s nice outside!

    Our first 7 PM sunset of 2025 is tonight.

    The over / under today in Swampscott is 60 F.

    The rings of Saturn will not be visible for the next several days because of the angle of the planet, but of course we can’t really see Saturn anyways.

    RANDOM: Cape Farewell, Greenland is often referred to as the windiest place on earth, often experiencing sustained winds of 40+ MPH for long periods of time. Today the wind there is <1 MPH.

      1. Still laughing at Pete’s nickname for you. As you know, a little birdie may have mentioned Petey B to him. He’s been watching for you

  11. On March 22 1907…

    26 out of 50 states recorded a high temp of 85°F or higher. 22 of those states saw high temps of 90°F or higher, including some 95-99°F readings in the southern Plains and parts of the Southeast.

  12. Thanks, TK!

    We’re at a delightful 59. Opened the moonroof in my new (new to me, not 2025) car for the first time! 🙂

  14. Thanks, TK.

    Kitty Dukakis died. She was 88. I always admired her openness about personal struggles.

    A little-known fact is that in 1989, shortly after the 1988 presidential election between Michael Dukakis and George H. W. Bush, Bush appointed her to be a member of the United States Holocaust Memorial Council. Such an appointment is simply unimaginable today. How far we’ve sunk as a nation.

  17. Down to 57 here from a high of 63. Perfect day. Two of my granddaughters and I went on an adventure to a very special artisans shop in Sutton center.

  18. Special Marine Warning for Cape Cod Bay and Block Island Sound for very gusty winds.

  22. Thanks TK.

    Arrived home safely last night. Fortunately, we visited Istanbul on our way there vs at the end of the trip.
