7:22AM
DAYS 1-5 (MARCH 23-27)
This is the last day of full sun for a long while, though it will be cold. Enjoy it anyway. A long stretch of unsettled weather begins Friday as a warm front approaches, only makes it part of the way into southern New England, then pushes back to the south on Saturday and hangs out there for many days as an avenue for waves of low pressure.
TODAY: Sunny. Highs 30-37. Wind NW 15-25 MPH with higher gusts, diminishing slowly.
TONIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 18-25. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
FRIDAY: Mostly cloudy. Scattered light snow/sleet/rain mainly midday and afternoon. Highs 38-45. Wind SE 5-15 MPH increasing to 10-20 MPH with higher gusts.
FRIDAY NIGHT: Cloudy. Chance of light rain early. Temperatures steady 38-45. Wind S 10-20 MPH.
SATURDAY: Mostly cloudy. Slight chance of light rain. Highs 45-53 early, then cooler in the afternoon. Wind SW 5-15 MPH morning, shifting to NE from north to south during the day.
SUNDAY: Cloudy. Chance of rain/mix/snow mainly afternoon. Lows 30-38. Highs 38-45.
MONDAY: Cloudy. Periods of rain/mix/snow likely.
DAYS 6-10 (MARCH 28-APRIL 1)
Unsettled weather continues episodes of rain/mix/snow possible. Temperatures below normal.
DAYS 11-15 (APRIL 2-6)
No big changes expected here as an overall unsettled weather and below normal temperature regime hangs on.
TK thank you.
Thank you, TK…
16 degrees at dawn in the west end of Taunton.
Thank you, TK.
For tomorrow pm, can I assume that it will not be enough of an event to interfere with driving through the afternoon hours? Thank you.
Good morning and thank you TK.
Thanks TK. You’re a gentleman and a scholar.
Good Morning all. Thanks TK.
Thanks TK!
Thanks TK !
Thanks TK. By the looks of it about two weeks of near miserable weather coming up.
TYPICAL shitty New England Spring weather. The kind of weather I loathe!!
Here is where TK inserts that he loves this kind of weather. Fine, good to you.
You can take this kind of weather AND ……….
….And enjoy it when it warms up a bit! That’s what the rest of your sentence was.
If you really think that, I have some swamp land in Florida to sell you. 😀
Yup and I don’t think it will bring any accumulation of snow for Boston. Of course it’s nothing but a guess .
Nope, not this weekend. We may see some frozen preip in the air, but an accumulation of any significance does not appear to be in the cards. 😀
Wouldn’t you rather have an accumulating snowstorm for a day or two and then nicer weather than the crappy weather we are about to get.
Yeah I know tk will chime in and says he like all weather. But not sure how anyone can like this. I enjoy all weather as well but not this type of pattern. The rest of the country will start to enjoy warmer weather and we will be miserable.
It happens virtually every Spring. Sure occasionally we get a nice one, but not often. 😀
My house shook all night long as the wind was just insane .
Last evening between 8 and 9 AM, the wind blew so hard I couldn’t believe
the noise it was making. Haven’t heard wind noise like that in a long time!!
My house is so solid, it takes a lot to have it shake. It did not shake last night, but the wind was unbelievable!
No, I hate that kind of weather, because it doesn’t last long enough… 😛
Hey I’m no pitcher but I can throw a curve. 😉
we have a comedian 😛
Well I can throw a curve ball and a Screw ball (curves in the other direction),
so watch out there!!
2 weeks isn’t long enough. When will we see a sustaineed wind with a westerly component? July 4th is my prediction!*#@@!*#*!@#!*@^#*&!&^#*&
Sustained anything does not exist ’round here…
We did have a “sustained” drought last year.
Not the same. That’s a long term result of a regime. Short and medium range sensible weather is what this applies to.
Loving today’s posts – banter reads like a Shakespearean comedy – “Much Ado About Weather!” 🙂
The wind was crazy here last night too. I also discovered that if I crack my bedroom window just a touch, it will make a whistling wind sound….even if the wind isn’t blowing. In effect, I’m making my own wind…………ya, I know, you can go a long way with that comment….in several directions.
And now I will duck. I love today, I’ll love tomorrow, I’ll love the next day. How can you not love every day you are on this earth to enjoy it?
I can create my own wind without the window… 😉 (sorry everyone, couldn’t resist) 😛
LOL – that was one of the ways I thought it could go!!
TK – Was the late January/February snow & cold an example of “sustained”?
2015
Yes, but even within that “sustained” cold there was a great deal of variability.
Today’s deep blue sky, cold temps and gusty winds remind me of Monday April 5, 1982.
Most here should remember what occurred the day after. 🙂
The winds were more like yesterday on April 5 1982. Gusts 40-45 MPH across the region.
Powder snowstorm the next day, 12-18 inches, 3 foot drifts, and it fell through the 20s during the storm then stayed in the teens to lower 20s all of April 7.
The snow was gone, however, by April 11, which was Easter (for most).
I help my son and his friend build a “SNOW BUNNY” a Few days later when it warmed a tad.
Awesome storm. I had to take the orange line home from work
and walked 1 mile from Forrest Hills to my house into the teeth
of the NE wind and the blinding snow. LOVED every minute of it.
😀
13.2″ @ Logan, if I am not mistaken.
And yet, our most recent snow (6.6″) has taken forever to melt.
Yes. High Water content. The powder stuff disappears in a hurry when it warms up even a little.
Aha! Thanks for the explanation. 🙂
I like Everywhere by Yellowcard very much. 😀
Yeah someone posted it on FB today. 😉
Who did such a thing?
For anyone who heads west on Pike. Lanes are closed (they didnt say how many in article I read) westbound after Interchange 17 Newton
Says THE westbound lanes are closed so I assume all
The story below reports on a man who must absolutely love shrimp, so much so that on a cold day like today he stuffed $100 worth of frozen shrimp does his pants before riding off on his bike. He’ll have more than just some frozen shrimp when he gets home.

Ewwwww
Something fishy about that story
Hehehe.
Here’s the seven day forecast from around the dial:

Thanks again, Dr. S…keep posting these! 🙂
It appears no snow or even significant frozen precip for the next 10 days. This may mean the end of snow season. We will see.
Total to date = 45.8″
Every April, I look for the first ten days. 😉
Happy meteorological day!
