DAYS 1-5 (MARCH 26-30)

While no “big storms” are in our forecast as we head down the home stretch of March, we do have plenty of weather to talk about and changes to follow. We start out with a small area of low pressure passing just southeast of New England this morning to midday, bringing a period of rain from the area of the Cape Cod Canal southeastward across the Cape & Islands. An upper level disturbance traversing New England from west to east this afternoon can and probably will trigger a few showers of rain/mix/snow, even some graupel potentially. The most likely areas to see frozen precipitation falling out of these instability clouds will be along and north of I-90, particularly over higher elevations, but I can’t rule them out even right into Boston. Clearing takes place tonight as the disturbance swings offshore, and we’re set up for a nice Thursday, though breezy with a northwesterly air flow between Atlantic Canadian low pressure and an area of high pressure southwest of New England. Yet another rough will move through our area in the early hours of Friday, probably producing just clouds but potentially a brief rain/mix/snow shower, and during the day Friday we should see a slight uptick in temperature with a sun/cloud mix ahead of a cold front which hangs to our north during the day, then moves through at night. Once this front goes by, it hangs up near or just south of southern New England and sets up an unsettled weekend. Unfortunately, the current timing suggests that a blanket of clouds may move in to spoil our view of a partial solar eclipse at sunrise on Saturday, but if this cloud deck is aimed a bit further north or south and is narrow enough, or is later in arriving than currently expected, we may get to see it. Updates on that to come. Either way, the weekend looks unsettled with generally cloudy weather and occasional precipitation, mainly rain, but some mix possible the further north you are. The previously-mentioned frontal boundary plays havoc with the temperature forecast, potentially, as it can set up a contrast of 30+ degrees just across the WHW forecast area if it is located far enough northeast. Right now, I’m leaning toward the location being far enough to the southwest so that our entire region is on the cooler side of this boundary. But keep in mind that both Saturday’s and Sunday’s temperature projections are subject to change, with some major adjustments potentially needed the further southwest you go.

TODAY: A cloudy start over southeastern MA with a period of rain mainly Cape Cod / Islands, otherwise variably cloudy with a possible passing shower of rain/mix/snow/graupel during the afternoon across the region – best chance of frozen in higher elevation areas from I-90 northward. Highs 41-48. Wind variable up to 10 MPH morning, W 10-20 MPH this afternoon.

TONIGHT: Clearing. Lows 25-32. Wind NW 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.

THURSDAY: Sunny to partly cloudy. Highs 48-55. Wind NW 10-20 MPH.

THURSDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. A brief passing rain/mix/snow shower possible. Lows 30-37. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

FRIDAY: Partly sunny. Highs 50-57. Wind W to NW 10-20 MPH, higher gusts.

FRIDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 30-37. Wind N to NE up to 10 MPH.

SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY: Mainly cloudy. Periods of rain (some mix possible northern MA / southern NH). Temperatures generally steady in the 35-50 range from northeast to southwest (southern NH to eastern CT). Wind NE 5-15 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (MARCH 31 – APRIL 4)

Unsettled weather March 31 with details determined by the position of a frontal boundary associated with low pressure passing through the region. Brief break, then additional unsettled weather probable after that.

DAYS 11-15 (APRIL 5-9)

An unsettled pattern with variable temperatures. An intrusion of much warmer air may make an attempt by late period.

  1. Thanks TK !

    I think that’s a wise thought to lean towards the weekend boundary being southwest of our area in early Spring.

  6. Thanks TK.

    1,125 ❄️

    Me thinks we are done with snow. I’ll keep counting for awhile longer anyway.

    1. You should count right on through until next Winter. I could use a good laugh daily. 🙂 Don’t know how others feel, though. 🙂

        1. It’s important to know the difference between CLIMATOLOGY and a weather forecast. What I said was 100% correct.

      1. Well, that is interesting. I think TK got tired of fixing waiting for the moderator stuff.

        I tend to accidentally hit some keep the places the text I was typing into the Name field. And sometimes I hit post before seeing it.

        OR I see it and then hit the wrong key Ie o instead of p

        Oh well, sorry about that. 🙂

        2. I actually have no idea how that happened, “JoDave”.

          I mean you could have been in that band, “Hamilton, JoDave, and Reynolds” from the 1970s (except it was Joe Frank, but just a minor detail difference). 😉

              1. As long as you’re happy singing. 🙂

                I love both of these songs. “Mom’s kitchen radio” for me.

            2. I didn’t even know that I know these songs! I suppose the last time I heard them was 50 years ago or so.

              I had to laugh because I remember the first one as “Don’t POUR Your Love.” That really makes no sense, but it does kind of sound like that to me even now.

            1. 🙂 🙂 🙂

              Can’t tell you how many times that has happened.
              More on my phone than computer, but it happens both places. 🙂

  13. I mean it’s conceivable that people may be scraping snow off walks in southern NH Saturday while southwestern CT is hitting 70 degrees.

    #SpringInNewEngland 🙂

    1. And it’s definite that people will be soaking wet in eastern MA Saturday.

      #SpringinNewEngland 🙁

            2. Well, not like I was forecasting any.

              My reference is to that it may not be doing much precipitating.

  16. It’s a good thing the majority of Bruins fans are probably not staying up for these late night West Coast games. 😉
