Weekend Outlook

203 Comments

7:46PM

SUMMARY…
Here comes an unsettled March weekend. Nothing spectacular or unusual. The system will be largely rainfall versus anything else for the bulk of its precipitation, though some freezing rain may lead things off Saturday morning, and some snow showers will prolong the end of the system during Sunday. This all takes place as a complex low pressure area lifts northeastward into the region Saturday then sinks back to the east southeast on Sunday. It’s out of here Monday but hot on its heels is another low pressure system – this one moving out of central Canada and passing north of New England by Tuesday. But it will send clouds in later Monday and some rain showers changing to snow showers as a strong cold front passes through on Tuesday. This introduces much colder air but mainly dry weather for the middle to end portion of next week.

SOUTHEASTERN NEW ENGLAND FORECAST…
TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Lows 25-30 except 30-35 South Coast. Wind S under 10 MPH.
SATURDAY: Cloudy. Rain arrives by mid morning RI and southern MA and by late morning northern MA and southern NH though it may begin as a period of freezing rain especially interior MA and southern NH. Pockets of heavier rain possible, especially southern MA and RI during the afternoon. Areas of fog. Highs 40-45. Wind SE to E up to 15 MPH.
SATURDAY NIGHT: Cloudy. Rain ending. Lows in the 30s. Wind variable 5-15 MPH shifting to NW.
SUNDAY: Mostly cloudy. Snow showers developing, may start as rain showers south of Boston. Minor snow accumulation possible in some locations, mainly under 1 inch, but a few areas over 1 inch possible in northeastern MA and southern NH. Temperatures steady in the 30s. Wind NW 10-20 MPH with higher gusts.
MONDAY: Increasing clouds. Chance of rain showers night. Low 25. High 45.
TUESDAY: Chance of snow showers morning. Decreasing clouds. Temperatures fall through 30s.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly sunny. Low 15. High 30.
THURSDAY: Mostly sunny. Low 15. High 35.
FRIDAY: Mostly sunny. Low 20. High 40.

  3. Brief CNN report

    “Red Cross workers report “unbelievable destruction” after Tropical Cyclone Pam hit Port Vila, the capital of Vanuatu.

    The Australian Red Cross added via Twitter that “humanitarian needs will be enormous. Many people have lost their homes. Shelter, food and water (are) urgent priorities.”

    4. Tragic. That area is vulnerable to some of the strongest cyclones on Earth. I saw some monster storms out there when I did the worldwide tropical updates during my time at the private company I worked for. Most of the time the cyclones stayed offshore there but this one was a direct hit.

  4. Thanks TK. We have been in 5 months of mostly positive NAO. Crazy and all that snow. Just goes to show there are so many other factors that contribute to heavy snows here in the winter!

  5. Thanks Tk!! it’s amazing that 2ft of snow on the ground just less than a week ago to now patchy snow cover, and after this weekend many locales will be bare ground. I’m thinking around 1 inch of rain here.

    1. No bare ground here, went into front yard today to check on my fence and the snow was about 15 inches deep.

      2. Same here. 15-18 inches covering most of my yard and two-foot plus piles lining my driveway and walkways.

  6. Charlie, again and again you say things that are hard to believe. I do live in your area- Mansfield area.. We still have that amount snow on the ground why why why do you say these things

    1. Charlie, I still have sow covered ground. The only place I see any patches of grass is along my fence under trees in areas that were sheltered form getting the full accumulation of all of these storms.

  7. Good morning! There is a Freezing Rain Advisory but I am not sure when it ends. I would imagine it would end late AM.

  8. Today’s Accuweather Trivia Quiz.

    A strong downward rush of air, which produces a blast of damaging winds on or close to the surface describes a ________?

    A. Tornado
    B. Monsoon
    C. Downburst
    D. Snow Squall

    Answer later today. You can do this one by elimination.

  9. I was at my moms house in Attleboro last night. Only bare ground I saw was at the base of a few trees.

    1. 0z euro also is a hit with the coastal storm next weekend but brings it in on Saturday as opposed to Sunday and the low tracks closer to the coast bringing a snow to rain scenario in SNE

  13. SNOW ACCUMULATIONS ON PAVED SURFACES DURING THE DAY IN MID MARCH CAN
    BE DIFFICULT GIVEN THE INCREASING SUN ANGLE AND DAYS GETTING LONGER.
    THUS AT LEAST MODERATE SNOW INTENSITY IS REQUIRED. SO MINOR ACCUM
    MAYBE CONFINED TO NON PAVED SURFACES. AS FOR SPECIFIC POTENTIAL SNOW
    ACCUMULATIONS…A COATING TO AN INCH IS POSSIBLE IN EASTERN MA AND
    RI. THE ONE WILD CARD HERE ARE MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES ARE STEEPENING
    DURING THE DAY IN RESPONSE TO HEIGHT FALLS/COLD AIR ALOFT. THUS THE
    FORCING FOR ASCENT MAY HAVE A GREATER RESPONSE THAN MODEL QPF
    SUGGEST. THE NAM IS MOST ROBUST WITH UP TO 0.25 INCH OF QPF ACROSS
    EASTERN CT/MA AND RI. EC SLIGHTLY LESS WITH ABOUT 0.15 INCHES. THUS
    LOW RISK OF ISOLATED 2 INCH AMOUNTS. WILL NEED TO WATCH THIS
    POTENTIAL SNEAKY EVENT UNFOLD.

  14. I am calling the one for next weekend the Farmers’ Almanac storm as that is the period they are calling for heavy precipitation and strong winds. With that said I just don’t see winter going quietly this year.

  16. Snow accumulation question …..

    Say it’s 2 pm tomorrow, it’s 35F at Logan, it’s snowing.

    The combo of the above freezing temps and daylight really don’t let the snow accumulate. Are they still tallying snowfall?

    Can it snow, for example, 1.2 inches, even if most melts on contact ?

    I think the answer is yes, but I’m not 100 percent sure.

    1. They have to be able to measure it. And they don’t measure it every minute or every 5 minutes. If it falls and does not accumulate, I do not believe it can be counted. It might as well be rain where snowfall is concerned.

      It probably won’t precipitate enough to be a concern. We shall see.

  17. Where oh here does the NWS see .25 qpf for tomorrow???????????????
    I sure as hell don’t see it.

    1. Another 1/3 rd maybe …. particularly later this afternoon, when it rains and temps get to 40 or a bit higher.

        1. Sure …. and, it could end up even more. Perhaps even 1/2.

          Obviously will depend on how mild it gets south of Boston.

          1. I think you’re being a tad optimistic.
            I don’t see that much going because it will
            be a cold rain.

            Warm rain in the 50s then I would agree.

            We shall see.

            The MORE the merrier, so I hope you are correct. 😀

            1. I hope he is correct too. So sick of looking at all this snow. Amazing, we all have sniw except Charlie. 🙂

  19. Speaking of PI day:

    The Boston Globe
    3 hrs ·
    For the first time in 100 years, Pi Day falls on 3/14/15. And at 9:26:53 a.m., the day will represent the first 10 digits of the mathematical constant.

    PI: 3.14159265359

    1. Watched him many years on WNDS 50, I think it was out of Derry, NH.

      Very good meteorologist, with a humorous presentation to his weathercasts.

  21. Good morning!! Light rain falling 38.3 degrees, winter is over folks, u can put the shovels away 🙂

    1. Uh oh ….. Charlie, come on now ….. that statement guarantees us another big event. 🙂 🙂 🙂

    2. My guess is in Charlie land it never snows, is never cold, and is always spring. 🙂 seems I already kno the guy, and I have only been here for a couple of months.

        1. He doesn’t have to do that. The algae will be growing rapidly now that Winter is over the the Summer heat has arrived. 😉

  23. Nate is playing a half hour of his favorite math-related songs. He started the list with the Pi Song at 9:26:53.59AM (as close as he could get to it).

        1. I actually thought of that after I posted, but I was driving my son to his friend’s house. 🙂 I love Tull. Been to see them a few times live.

  24. Today defines March in New England. It’s raw, gray, spitting rain, gloomy, dirty snowpiles dot the landscape, streets are littered with mud, salt, and sand, what little bare ground there is is brown, flowers and leaves are in hiding, and last but not least the GFS model is still projecting more cold, rain, ice, and wet snow.

    Contrast this with October in Boston when the foliage display is beyond spectacular, the sun still warm but not humid, nights crisp and mostly clear, the autumnal rays of sunlight filter through the trees and onto buildings in the most photogenic way, the fall classic is underway (I’m one of a dwindling number of hardcore baseball fans who still cares about the WS, regardless of who’s playing), pumpkins and gourds decorate people’s front steps, holidays are fast-approaching, and last but not least the GFS model projects an early frost and snowy days ahead.

    1. Ahh You describe New England so well. Nicely done.

      The dirty snow piles are disgusting, especially the debris being uncovered.

    2. I love both of those times.

      It’s interesting though that the “ugliest” of what you describe about March is largely because of what we put on the ground ourselves. 😉

  26. 4 Green Fields – Makem & Clancy … tis a song of the season. I’m listening to “St. Patty’s Greatest Hits” which is a 10-song collection including songs performed by M&C, Solas, Dolores Keane, Phil Coulter, The Dubliners, Karan Casey, Cathie Ryan, and Seamus Egan.

    1. Freezing rain was not expected in the city. The chance was confined mainly to interior lower elevations in MA and southern NH. At or above freezing now even in those areas.

    2. Can’t beat “wishing you were here” with Terry Kath on vocals
      ….. and the beach boys in the background.

  32. This blog has been so helpful to my golf planning. Now I am sorting out spring skiing issues.
    Thinking of the White Mountains for skiing tomorrow. Accuweather has snow today and tomorrow in the White Mts., but the temps are a bit high. I would leave at 5:30 am tomorrow for Cannon if it looked OK.
    I thought I read here on the blog that above 2500′ would be snow.
    Any insight would be appreciated.

    1. Temps are marginal there today but they should get some wet snow up to 1 inch. Another 3-5 inches of drier snow comes tonight and Sunday as temps fall into the 20s and stay there, but up go the winds from the NW tomorrow, 15-30 MPH with higher gusts. Will feel more like mid Winter.

  33. What’s this?

    Tim Kelley NECN ‏@SurfSkiWxMan 45m45 minutes ago Massachusetts, USA
    anticipating snow flakes the size of Leprechauns
    to pour down in eastern New England Tomorrow
    in Boston 1-3pm
    Will be quite the spectacle

            1. I was up there last night. I’ll be up there again tonight. Decent melting, but behind my friend’s house, which is on the north-facing slope, there is still 15 to 20 inches of snowcover easily.

              1. Yeah I got a lot and I am surprised. Roof is totally bare which was surprising given the several foot drifts on it. Where I didn’t throw snow all these weeks you can see the degree of melting.

            1. I disagree in terms of big snow amounts. No science behind it just a feeling. We had a bad six weeks or so but to me that doesn’t mean snow in May and piles into June. People were saying that last year too.

              1. Well I’m not sure who is specifically forecasting big amounts. I don’t do that until I am more certain a particular event is going to produce them, regardless of the time of year. You can count it out based on a feeling, but as a scientist I will not count it out, given history: 3-13-1993, 3-29-1984, 4-1-1997, 4-28-1987, 5-10-1977, to name a few. 🙂

                1. No one but I have seen links on here showing a foot or so over the next week or two. Obviously that doesn’t have to be one storm. My point it days ago models showed this storm all snow…one I remember had 6-9″ today. I don’t put a lot of stock into them this time of the year. That being said I ama amazed at all the junk I left out that is being uncovered as things melt. Found a basketball and a few buckets so far.

  34. I like the idea of a coating to 1 inch especially on unpaved surfaces tomorrow. Isolated 1-2 inch amounts are POSSIBLE (look up the definition if this confuses you), from Boston northward.

        1. Pete had an interesting blog weeks ago when he hinted this winter might be the norm for a while and the record could be broke yet again a few years from now.

          1. Well sometimes these types of events can cluster. I can’t say we didn’t see this coming when the solar cycle and the PDO were starting to indicate longer periods of cold for the Northeast. That part is working out so far. I still don’t think anybody could have forecast the extreme snowfall over the period of time we had it. But such extreme events are impossible to forecast in advance.

            I bet nobody would have forecast the blizzard of 1888 accurately if that storm occurred today, at least as detailed as one would wish to.

            1. I am all about sun and weather…solar minimum means cold winters for sure. There has been little sun activity for a while. Maybe Al Gore was banking on the sun staying active ha.

            2. Climate change experts have been saying for a while that the northeast would see stronger/more severe winter storms but within a shorter span of time. I’d be curious to know if that is why Pete made that statement which I also saw and was curious about.

              1. That may have factored into it. I know Pete has an open mind about such things. To be honest we all should really. As we always say, there isn’t enough evidence to make a certain call either way. It could be linked to that, or it may just simply be the weather pattern regardless. I don’t think we may ever get the solid answers in our lifetime, so better to just play it safe.

  35. No freezing rain in the city, as TK alluded to. However, I can say that early this morning there were some very icy spots on the pedestrian and bike paths (Esplanade). This has been an ongoing theme all week, except Wednesday. Actually Monday and Tuesday were the worst. Until the snow completely melts there will be issues on pedestrian and bike paths the rest of this month. I run with special running shoes with very small metal studs. Makes noise and is probably not great for the asphalt. But, at least I don’t slip and fall.

  36. Today’s weather is about as bad as its gets on the miserable meter. I’m surprised the intensity of the rain

    1. I don’t have a rain gauge but I’d wager we have had more than that. It’s been raining since 8am with moderate rain since noon.

      1. I was really surprised Ace. I thought at least a half inch. But the rain hasn’t been heavy until just recently so I expect it’ll pop up

    1. Although I don’t care one way or the other, I’ll root for it cause I know you really want the record broken.

  39. I love days like this. Food shopping done, PJs on, sitting by window with good book and good music watching the rain between paragraphs. Oh and Mac is making his spaghetti carbonara for dinner so I’ll have a great meal and all I have to do is open the bottle of wine 🙂

      1. Hehe. Macs mom managed to convince the owner of one of their favorite restaurants in Roma to share the recipe. It is hard to find a true carbonara here.

    3. :). Just finished putting a desk together for my daughter, still errands to do! Maybe we will come for dinner!

      1. Come on over …. He’s also making bruschetta and a caprese salad. We have a balsamic that we get in Portland that is like butter.

        1. You are going to have a great dinner! Wish we could! Tell Mac kudos to him for doing dinner tonight!

  40. Repost of Today’s Accuweather Trivia Quiz.

    A strong downward rush of air, which produces a blast of damaging winds on or close to the surface describes a ________?

    A. Tornado
    B. Monsoon
    C. Downburst
    D. Snow Squall

    Answer later today. You can do this one by elimination.

  43. Tomorrow should be interesting.

    We have a fun afternoon planned, throwing up the tent in the living room. Cranking up a fire and will make s’mores. The boys are napping right now but are beyond excited for our indoor adventure 🙂 Yes my 5 year old nearly six still takes a 2-3 hr nap.

  46. OS, the CMC depiction of the spring snowstorm is a true Maritime special. Can you imagine getting over 30 inches on top of what they already have? We know this storm will be gone from the model tomorrow, but I’m just trying to picture it verifying.

    1. Well, the fact that the Euro has it gives one pause and now it is back
      only 7 days out instead of 9 or 10. So, we shall see.

      GFS does NOT have it.

  47. Absolutely pouring and has been since noon. No gauge but I’d say we’re approaching or have already approached an inch.

  48. NWS seem to be beefing up their talk of snow for tomorrow. Have a peek:

    HOWEVER…GIVEN THE CHANCE
    FOR BRIEF MODERATE/HEAVY SNOWFALL LOW VISIBILITIES AND LIGHT
    ACCUMS ON AREA ROADWAYS CAN/T BE RULED OUT ACROSS PORTIONS OF ERN MA. A QUICK 1-2 INCHES /AND POSSIBLY ISOLATED HIGHER AMOUNTS/ ARE NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION AS MODELS CONTINUE TO INDICATE 0.10-0.30 OF TOTAL QPF AND MESOSCALE GUIDANCE SIMULATED RADAR SHOWS
    POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RETURNS.

    1. 18Z NAM shows pretty good echoes starting around Noon time.
      Fast becoming 30-35 DBZ, which would indicate at least Moderate snow
      and perhaps heavy depending on ratio.

      1. Want to give us about 6 hours of pretty decent snow.
        We “could” break the record tomorrow depending on temperature
        and ratio.

  49. Was out and about. Raining pretty good. Noticed some patchy fog around, mostly not, but it was here and there.

  51. This rain is going to make the perfect late-season sledding snowcover for my son and I on a local hill we use and my back yard (which is a gradual slope we build a track on).

    It’ll freeze up solid by Tuesday and even though March sun will work on it mid into late week the cold nights will keep it sled-able for a while. The irony is, after the bare ground for most of December and January, it snowed so much that the snow was “too deep” for decent sledding. The only time we went sledding this season so far was Thanksgiving weekend. 😀

      1. I have a 1980s-era plastic Paris sled that is INSANELY FAST.

        There has never been a sled that moves like that one. It beats any sled now and beats any of the old sleds. I’ve been using it for decades. 😀

          1. We have a couple Flexible Flyer sleds. 🙂

            I even have a runner sled except it has a steering wheel and hand brake. It’s ancient. 🙂

    1. Severe in tornadoes, I assume. Boston usually gets little in terms of severe weather during that period, unless we want to call a 4-day cut-off low spinning off the coast producing dismal days of showers and upper 40s “severe.” Severe as in severe headache inducing.

      1. Not suggesting It applies to Boston, just thought it was an interesting statement. I’m sure he means Tornado Alley, the mid West and the South.

  55. Note temperatures today `underachieved’ and are dropping. Southern NH temps are very close to freezing and weren’t expected to be at this time, with sleet and snow mixing in from Concord to points southwest like Peterborough. Would not surprise me if there’s some changeover to snow all the way to a few of the northwestern suburbs of Boston (Bedford and points north and west of Bedford). Drive safely if you’re headed to the NH border area.

  57. Quite amazing that a memorable Feb snow can disappear in a week. We had 2ft of snow that is essentially gone 🙂

    2. Look at the webcam that TK posted. Not far from you so not sure how you have no snow. You love to joke.

  58. Charlie, we did indeed have a lot of melting this week. There are a few bare spots here and there. But, there’s still plenty of snow around, also in Attleboro, and probably some snow coming tomorrow as well as next week. I know your part of the world is a bit milder than Boston: 4 degree differential today. But, it’s still winter in the northeast. Monday may be the pick of the week but it does not look like a mid 50s day: Mid to upper 40s at best, and for March very cold by mid week.

  59. I’ve been reading and watching some local weather reports from our local mets. It seems like most seem to agree that for Boston south tomorrow snow not that big of a deal. Wankum thinks any accumulating snow may be reserved for grass if you can see it or more like on top of snow banks. Thinks roadways should stay wet due to melting on impact. Guess we will find out. Myself I guess no record will be broken tomorrow not even close, I also could be wrong .

    1. There is a 50-50 shot the record falls tomorrow. Does not mean it does, just a shot at it.

      Would be nice to be done with it. 😀

        1. 50/50? Haha! I think the odds are much less than that. The map posted just doesn’t look right.

          1. Whatever.

            RGEM says 2.5 inches
            NAM says 3 inches
            GFS says 2 inches.

            Call what ever you like. In my mind it warrants
            a 50% chance.

            Even the NWS said quick 1-2 inches with possible higher amounts.

            1. Prime example of model hugging. Your in mid March and the temp does not go below freezing until the precip shuts off. And by precip I mean showery precip. 50/50?

      2. If it’s going to be broke I’d rather it just do it cause I’m sick of hearing about it. It does not matter to me one way or the other. I worked today so a day off tomorrow sounds good.

    2. Don’t be surprised if the streets get greased up.
      The ground is COLD underneath and it “may” just snow hard enough
      for awhile to do the job.

    1. I hate to say this, but ID you look carefully you can see a very small area
      with little or no snow vyer near or at Attleboro, perhaps right over CHARLIE’S house!!! THE CHARLIE HOLE makes its appearance again.

      This is HILARIOUS!!!

      2. Attleboro has snow all over he place. I talked with a colleague who lives there and they assured me there was snow on the ground and more than s couple inches.

        1. I don’t think your colleague’s been to Charlie’s place. It’s a designated snow-free zone in Attleboro. Underground heaters don’t allow snow to accumulate, but also provide for an unusual occurrence: Goldfinches that normally migrate south never move from Charlie’s property. Perpetually in spring mode the birds tweet away (and I don’t mean Twitter) and eat bugs and worms that can only live without fear of frostbite in the confines of Charlie’s estate.

  64. I agree with OS. 50/50 shot. This is the type of situation that can provide a small surprise. Maybe just enough to break the record.

    1. Here’s my thinking: An inch tomorrow and as the vigorous cold front pulls through mid-week an inch, breaking the record by 0.1

  65. 1) I also spoke to someone down in the Attleboro area today. 8+ on the ground.
    2) If you don’t want to hear about the record being broken, don’t read the blog. This is a weather blog. It’s going to be talked about.

    Good evening.

    1. Was that comment meant for me Tk if so kind of surprised. I’m sick of hearing about it made no reference to anybody here. It’s all you hear about where ever I go. Friday getting my coffee at work first thing a guy comes up to me hey you working snow tonight think the record gets broken, I’m like no snow tonight.

  66. Haven’t measure but there’s a solid 14-18″ in my yard, and more in spots. Snow pack here will make it to April no problem. Usually does.

    And the banks will go longer.

  67. I’d say we are down to 3-6 inches in Marshfield, with some drifts to a foot.

    There definitely was a difference in temps today and snow melt.

    Marshfield to Providence, RI and points south got into the mid 40s and had a few hours of SE winds. We did lose some more snow, but …. we still probably have 90-95% of the ground covered.

    Meanwhile, Logan struggled to the upper 30s and northwest of that struggled to get to 35F. So, I can see why most still have significantly more snow.

  70. im sorry and yes i know i have not been around as long as many on here 😛 but to say that climate change is not happening at all or that humans are not making climate change happen faster than it would if we were not burning pollution just means your blind … Parts of the rockies have had drought since 2000, it has just look at the charts. The increase fracking in the rockies as well are leading to the drought. (worse possible kind of drilling) Overall global temperatures are on the rise in general… There are more extremes happening. There are more orange on the map and less blue but where the blues and purples do happen they are very extreme.Sorry but people can not say that these extremes happen all the time the way they do.. current ocean temps
    Climate change is happening. More extremes will happen. The jet streams are moving further north and the polar jet is generally getting weaker. The gulf stream in the atlantic is getting weaker. (gulf stream getting weaker will actually make our water off the coast colder for a while.)

    We are all ready to late to stop sea level rise, its all ready happening. several island nations are being evacuated this year.
    If we stop burning all the fossil fuels today and go green the ice in antartica and the artic will continue to melt and for 100 years, sea levels will wise.
    Florida gone, cape cod gone. south shore gone. I would have beach front property here in billerica.
    If people can open their eyes, we can minimize the effects that will happen and we can prevent it from getting even worse than that.
    Its our choice
    sorry for the harsh words, but its making me mad to no end that there are still people that think climate change is not really and that we are not responsible for climate change, yes its a natural process but we are making something that should take many many years and making it happen much quicker than it should.
    and to see goverment with a snowball saying this is why global warming is not true makes me wonder, why i could not all ready do his dam job for him
