Pleasant, but cool

Not too much to worry about over the next few days, high pressure is in full control.

Today:  Lots of sun, highs near 40 south,  low 30s north.

Tonight:  Clear, chilly, lows in the upper teens and low 20s south, teens north.

Tomorrow:  More sunshine, highs in the mid and upper 30s south, near 30 north.

Tomorrow night:  Clear, lows near 20 south, single digits and teens north.

Sunday:  Mainly sunny, highs in the low to mid 40s south, upper 30s north.

Discussion:

We are entering into what looks like an extended period of quiet weather here in New England.  The combination of a large area of high pressure at the surface and an upper level trough are causing this.  It will result in mostly clear skies but cool temperatures right into the beginning of next week.  Gradually our daytime highs will creep up a few degrees each day once we hit Sunday as the strong March sun does it's work on mostly bare ground.  Where there is still snow, it won't get as warm as most of the energy from the sun will either get reflected or be spent on melting the snow.

So, not too much to be concerned with until late next week.  Forecast models are showing a storm system coming up from the Southeast into New England.  Timing and wind direction here in New England will be factors in what type of precipitation we get.  Given the time of year and the overall weather pattern, I think its relatively safe to say that most areas will have rain with this storm.

My gut is telling me we really won't have much more snow this year, but I think it will be slow to warm up to the Spring like temperatures that most people are ready for.

Thanks for reading!
