THE MILDENING COMETH! ACTIVE SHOWERY PATTERN ARRIVES TOMORROW AND LASTING INTERMITTENTLY THROUGH NEXT WEEK… TODAY IS DRY BUT CLOUDY WITH TIME, A FEW SHOWERS OVERNIGHT, THEN MORE WIDESPREAD SHOWERS SUNDAY MORNING INTO EARLY AFTERNOON OR SO, THEN MILD AND GUSTY BY MID TO LATE AFTERNOON… MORE RAIN MONDAY AFTERNOON AND NIGHT, AND COOLER… MAY END AS SNOW IN SVT EARLY TUESDAY MORNING… ANOTHER COASTAL STORM POSSIBLE THURSDAY… 8:30am Sat…
Good morning everybody, we had a nice sunrise this morning, and will enjoy partial sunshine early, with clouds increasing as the day wears on.
After a cold start, highs will rebound into the upper 30s to low 40s, which is but a taste of The Mildening that shall be foisted upon us tomorrow (the combo of rain showers and very mild temps will cause The Grand Meltening).
A warm front approaches the region tonight, and while a few showers widely scattered will dot the landscape, I’m not expecting much. If a showers runs through northern MA and SVT/SWNH in the pre-dawn hours, the a very isolated area of freezing rain may develop, but it’s the outlier.
It’ll generally be cloudy and mostly dry tonight with lows in the upper 20s to mid 30s.
For Sunday, moisture advects into the region, and rain showers will break out by mid morning, and some could be briefly heavy. This should last through to the early afternoon or so, then exit east, behind which we may see some partly sunny breaks and a soaring of temps into the 50s and low 60s. We can’t even rule out some mid 60s, and assuming this type of warmth materializes, some gusty winds of 25-45mph will develop out of the south and south-southwest for a briefly balmy afternoon.
By early evening, a cold front will be working into the region with a thin line of showers to accompany it. Lows will drop into the 35-40º range.

By Monday, a second system will be tracking east-northeast out of the Ohio Valley, and is looking like it gains more latitude (i.e. comes more north) which should keep it a mostly rain event for us, and one that provides heavier rainfall more north of the MassPike, about a half inch to an inch and a quarter of rainfall.
Showers arrive Monday afternoon with highs reaching the 45-50º range. This rainfall will last through the night, and as a frontal boundary sags south, it will cool us down into the low to mid 30s leading into early Tuesday morning, which is when areas like southern VT, far northwest MA, and high elevation areas of southwest NH may flip to snow before it quits and ships out of here on Tuesday.
Highs Tuesday will reach up to the mid 30s to low 40s as sunshine develops, and it may be windy as cooler air works into the region. Lows will dip into the low to mid 20s.
For Wednesday, high pressure continues to nose into the region, which will produce a partly sunny day with highs in the low to mid 40s, which is quite seasonable for the middle of March.
We then have two more storm potentials, one on Thursday with a coastal storm that may go out to sea, but it comes far enough north, some snow and rain could fall across the region.
Then by next weekend a very anomalous upper level trough looks to extend down into New England from way up in Canada. Whenever you see these at any point in the winter, you have to be on the lookout for the potential for winter storminess, but for now temps look seasonable, but I will keep an eye on more inclement weather potential for next weekend.
Have a great day!
