DAYS 1-5 (MARCH 30 – APRIL 3)

We continue to be chilled on the cold side of a sharp frontal boundary to our southwest today. It’s been cold enough in the past 24 hours for some snowflakes to be observed as far south as the Boston area and some sleet as far south as Outer Cape Cod, but most of the time we’ve just seen some drizzle and a few periods of rain – with some icing in parts of southern NH. The latter should become less of an issue today as the temperature very slowly rises away from the freezing point in the portions of southern NH that are sitting right about 32 now, though we still stay pretty chilly across the region during the day with an overcast sky and patches of drizzle around. The steadier rain / freezing rain in southern NH will depart soon. Another batch of rain will cross the region tonight as the frontal boundary to the southwest is pulled north and northeast by low pressure in the Great Lakes, and we finally end up in the warm sector for Monday. But this warm sector is not going to be full of sunshine and 70+ temperature air. Look for 60s for most areas, but ocean-influenced cooler air along the South Coast, lots of clouds, and a few rain showers, until a band of showers and potential embedded thunderstorms move across the region west to east at night with a cold front as low pressure heads into southeastern Canada. Dry, cooler air returns behind that front Tuesday to start out April. The next low pressure system heads into the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Valley by midweek. A warm front approaches later Wednesday with clouds and some precipitation. We should get briefly into the warm sector of this low on Thursday before its cold front brings rain showers to the region. Timing of this is a little uncertain and something I’ll fine-tune over the next few days.

TODAY: Overcast. Areas of fog. Rain / freezing rain southern NH into far northern MA tapering off by mid morning. Patchy drizzle at any time, anywhere, but favoring I-95 eastward. Temperatures steady 33-40, rising slowly late-day. Wind NE to E up to 10 MPH.

TONIGHT: Overcast. Areas of fog. Periods of rain. Temperatures rise slowly into 40s. Wind E to SE up to 10 MPH.

MONDAY: Mostly cloudy. Passing rain showers possible. Highs 50-57 South Coast, 58-65 elsewhere. Wind S 10-20 MPH, higher gusts.

MONDAY NIGHT: Cloudy. Rain showers likely including a chance of thunderstorms, ending from west to east overnight. Lows 42-49. Wind S 10-20 MPH, higher gusts, shifting to W from west to east.

TUESDAY: Sun/cloud mix. Highs 48-55. Wind W to NW 10-20 MPH and gusty.

TUESDAY NIGHT: Clear. Lows 25-32. Wind N up to 10 MPH.

WEDNESDAY: Increasing clouds. Highs 40-47. Wind NE up to 10 MPH.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Cloudy. A period of snow/mix/rain likely. Lows 33-40. Wind E up to 10 MPH.

THURSDAY: Partial sun morning. Mostly cloudy with rain showers afternoon. Highs 55-62, cooler South Coast. Wind variable becoming SW 10-20 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (APRIL 4-8)

Back to cool weather, dry at first, then another low pressure area impact mid period, before dry weather returns at the end of the period.

DAYS 11-15 (APRIL 9-13)

Cool pattern, another low pressure system impacts region around mid period, details TBD.

  1. Thanks, TK.

    I’m guessing that all this drizzle doesn’t do much for drought mitigation. Will we make any progress with this series of damp/wet days?

    1. A few recent systems have been helpful. This one is generally not except to the north. We’ll get a bit of “help” from the cold front.

      This will not be enough to completely remove the “abnormally dry” to “moderate drought”. Drizzle does nothing.

    2. I understand the drizzle made everything wet but was surprised to see a few leaf/brush yard fires yesterday

  6. Good morning and thank you TK.

    Another DISGUSTING Spring day here in Eastern SNE!!!
    March, gotta love it! NOT!!!!

    PUTRID WEATHER!

      1. Yup, sometimes. 🙂
        May as well, but not as often.

        I am NOT optimistic about this April. I expect a full fledged crap fest!!!

    1. And even that “Trace” wouldn’t have occurred if the Logan temp was 1-2 degrees warmer yesterday. In all likelihood Boston’s March snowfall total should have been 0.0”.

      11:59:59 (whew!) ❄️

  10. Thanks TK! I took the new T line from New Bedford to South Station and there was quite a difference in temp. It’s a nice train ride – about 1 hours 45 minutes each way – a bit slow in some spots as they work through some kinks. Should be a game changer for New Bedford area

    1. That seems like an awfully long time to make that trip.
      Must have really been slow in the slow spots.

        1. Trains to and from Fall River and New Bedford have to go through East Taunton and Middleborough. I have heard mostly good things so far about South Coast Rail. I have to drive past the new Middleborough station to MHS and I thought there might some traffic issues. Not so.

  11. Some snow/ice in Bow NH. Not thick enough to cause outages but trees were sagging in the video my nephew sent.

    Cloudy here. It almost looks as if it wants to brighten some.

  12. Today is one of my favorite kind of early spring weather days, and I just had a quiet enough heart period to do my weekly pond walk. 37, raw, east wind, overcast. Love it!

    Winter coat, hat, briskly walking, no problem at all. 🙂

    1. I rarely wear a jacket as I have said. Yesterday, I could have used one. It was bone chilling.

      My oldest granddaughter worked outside for hours yesterday and is back at work today but I think a shorter day. She said The wind yesterday took the chill right through her. Very little win today

  13. TK – I have to develop your attitude about this weather. I am in JPDaves camp. This is too grey and chilly for me. Just a tad warmer on Long Island where I am spending time with my dad in nursing home.

    Train was definitely slow in spots yesterday – and arrived at both final destinations 15 minutes late. I have to decide whether it’s better to be in train or sit in traffic on 93 – and also no cost for parking in Boston when I take train

    1. I say stick with the new train line for another week or two and hopefully they get the bugs out. If it’s still always late then go back to driving and only take it during bad weather.

    2. My grand niece from NH was in your area (NYC/Nj) yesterday with her travel soccer team. Yesterday was better than here thankfully . Today cloudy and cool.

      1. They experienced summer and winter in the same day! Did she say anything about sudden change in temps? 33 degree drop in 2 hours!

        1. Wow. We have seem some of that lately. She did not mention but she is 15 and was concentrating in her game.

  14. We’re in Chatham. Right now it’s 42F and foggy. We got here around noon and the whole day has been great for being outside!
