We’ve ventured through our first block of cold, and for now, it retreats until the middle of next week. Heading out into Days 7-14, the eastern trough does begin the retreat, and there’s decent consensus on that. The trough isn’t intensely deep in the East, so the pattern should stay active with the combination of …

The clash of the seasons is upon us, with more mixed precipitation systems and dare I say…the first spring thunderstorms of the season possible on Saturday. It’s a little early to talk about severe storms, but they are possible across New England Saturday afternoon. Temperatures will stay close or slightly above average into Days 0-7. …
The Week Ahead 3/27
The week starts off with a dry atmosphere and a weak system coming through Monday night into Tuesday morning in the east. Temperatures moved up quite a bit ahead of the system so may see some rain mix in initially. Any snow that does accumulate, which will only be on the order of 1-2″ at …

The coastal system moves in later today with mostly snow expected from the Poconos up through northern Maine. The heaviest snowfall is expected in …

We’re looking at continued seasonable or below average temperatures through the third week of March. While there are above average moments before storm systems (similar to what we are seeing today), overall temperatures remain at or below season averages – especially in the Mid-Atlantic. There’s not much anomaly when it comes to precipitation, which makes …
The Week Ahead 3/6
The week itself is fairly quiet. There’s a low pressure to our north that is somewhat stalled, and that’s what is keeping a fair amount of breeze and intermittent snow showers in the forecast through Thursday in New England. The storm pattern takes energy from the Great Lakes into the Mid-Atlantic at this time, but …
