Cool weather will remain in place for a good chunk of the weekend.
Well below normal temperatures are expected through the weekend. Image provided by WeatherBell.
A weak low pressure area will pass south of the region tonight and early Friday, generating some showers, mainly south of the Mass Pike. High pressure then builds in from the north later Friday into Saturday, with some sunshine developing, but east to northeast winds off the still-chilly Atlantic will keep temperatures below normal for mid-May, especially close to the coast. Another weak system may bring in a few more showers on Sunday before high pressure builds back in for Monday, this time with warmer weather as winds should shift into the west or southwest.

Low pressure sends a few showers across the region this evening, then cooler weather settles in behind in for Friday into Saturday. We’ll remain dry both days, but clouds will be prevalent, mainly due to the onshore flow on Friday and ahead of low pressure moving in from the west on Saturday. That low pressure area will bring in a period of rain on Sunday, keeping us rather cool once again. High pressure builds in for Monday with sunshine and warmer temperatures returning.
Monday afternoon will be 10-20 degrees warmer than Sunday afternoon across the region. Image provided by WeatherBell.
Thursday night: Mostly cloudy, any showers end during the evening. Low 41-48.
Friday: Clouds and some afternoon sunshine. High 54-61 a little cooler near the coast.
Friday night: Partly to mostly cloudy. Low 40-47.
Saturday: More clouds than sunshine. High 56-63, a little cooler near the coast.
Saturday night: Mostly cloudy. Low 40-47.
Sunday: Cloudy with rain likely. High 52-59.
Sunday night: Mostly cloudy with showers ending. Low 43-50.
Monday: A mix of sun and clouds. High 69-76, cooler right along the coast.
Some nicer weather is on the way for the weekend, but the forecast isn’t quite that simple.
Freeze Warnings are in effect for parts of the region tonight. Image provided by Pivotal Weather.
High pressure remains in control into Saturday with sunshine and cool conditions. Freeze Warnings are in effect again tonight south of the Mass Pike and along the coast. If you’re wondering why there are no Freeze Warnings north and west of Boston, it’s not because it won’t be as cold, it’s because we haven’t received the average date of the last 32-degree reading for the year yet in those areas. Temperatures will gradually moderate on Friday and Saturday as the high slides off to the east. By later Saturday we’ll see some high clouds start to move in ahead of a warm front. They’ll thicken up in the evening with a few showers likely Saturday night. By Sunday, we’ll turn a bit milder, but we’ll still have plenty of clouds around and a pop-up shower is possible. Monday is the day with the trickiest forecast. We’ll be mostly dry, with partly sunny skies, and just a slight chance for a stray shower, but the temperatures forecast is not that easy. While it may get quite mild inland, a backdoor cold front could result in a much cooler day near the coast, especially north of Boston. How quickly that front moves in will impact the temperature forecast, but in the afternoon, many places near the coast will likely drop into the 50s or even upper 40s while inland areas will be well into the 60s or even 70s.
Temperatures could be 20 or more degrees cooler near the coast compared to inland areas Monday afternoon. Image provided by WeatherBell.
Thursday night: Clear and chilly. Low 27-34.
Friday: Sun, sun, and more sun. High 53-60, little cooler at the coast.
Friday night: Clear skies. Low 31-38.
Saturday: Sunny in the morning, increasing and thickening clouds in the afternoon. High 59-66, little cooler right at the coast.
Saturday night: Mostly cloudy with a few showers likely, mainly after midnight. Low 38-45.
Sunday: Intervals of clouds and sun, slight chance for an afternoon shower. High 61-68, cooler along the coast.
Sunday night: Partly cloudy. Low 47-54.
Monday: Partly sunny, slight chance for a shower. High 66-73 inland, 58-65 along the coast, possibly even cooler during the afternoon.
Some drier weather is on the way, but we’ve still got some rain in our future.

Rain will come to an end this evening, then high pressure builds back in for Friday with drier conditions. There may be a few sunny breaks, but for the most part, it’ll be a cloudy and milder day. A cold front moving in from the west will bring in some showers for Friday night and Saturday morning before the front moves through. We’ll gradually clear out with gusty winds behind the front during the day, then high pressure builds in for Sunday and Monday with dry and seasonably mild conditions.

Our last sign that winter is over arrives this weekend – Marathon Monday, and we’ll have some rather nice weather for it as well.
As far as we’re concerned, Patriots Day is the best day of the year. Image provided by the New York Times.
The weather won’t be so nice for the few days leading up to it this weekend, but that’s typical of Spring in New England. A strong low pressure system is heading for the Ohio Valley this afternoon, sending a warm front our way. Some showers will accompany that front this evening, with temperatures rising overnight behind it. We’ll also have some gusty southerly winds ushering that warmer air in. Showers will become a steadier and heavier rain overnight, which will renew flooding concerns once again for much of the region. The low pressure system will send a cold front through Friday morning. Ahead of it, there could be a line of thunderstorms developing, with some more heavy rain and gusty winds. Everything should wind down during the afternoon, with some clearing possible late in the day. However, an upper-level low will move across the Northeast on Saturday, keeping plenty of clouds and gusty winds around with a few more showers possible, especially during the morning. We’ll see some clearing for Saturday night, but clouds quickly return on Sunday as yet another weak system heads our way. This one will bring in another round of rain showers late Sunday and Sunday night, mainly south of the Mass Pike. That system pulls away late at night, and high pressure builds in for Patriots Day on Monday with sunshine, breezy conditions, and mild temperatures. Normal high temperatures for mid-April are in the middle to upper 50s, but we should be about 5-10 degrees warmer than that.

Thursday night: Showers redevelop, becoming a steady rain after midnight, becoming windy. Low 48-55 this evening, temperatures may rise a bit after midnight.
Friday: Rain, possibly a thunderstorm, during the morning, taper off to showers and ending early afternoon with some late-day sunny breaks possible, windy. High 57-64.
The weekend won’t be half bad around here. Of course, that means it’ll only be half good.
Our storm system won’t be in a hurry to leave the region this weekend. Loop provided by Pivotal Weather.
The storm that brought us more heavy rain, gusty winds, and a variety of wintry conditions will pull away from the region tonight, but it won’t get that far. An upper-level low will move in, capturing the surface low pressure area. As a result, it’ll just drift around over the Gulf of Maine and eastern New England for a few more days. That’ll keep plenty of clouds around with cool temperatures and some occasional rain or snow showers into Saturday. By Sunday, the system will finally begin to move away, with gradual clearing expected, though temperatures will remain cool. For Monday, high pressure builds in with sunshine and mild temperatures – perfect for eclipse viewing in the afternoon. Taking a quick peek at Tuesday for the Red Sox home opener, it should be sunny and seasonably cool, but a seabreeze (or backdoor cold front) may keep temperatures considerably cooler than places farther inland.

Thursday night: Plenty of clouds, a few more snow showers from the North Shore into southern New Hampshire, some clearing possible across Cape Cod, winds diminish. Low 28-35.
Friday: Mostly cloudy, chance for a few rain or snow showers, a few sunny breaks across Cape Cod and the South Coast, breezy. High 41-48.
Friday night: Partly to mostly cloudy with few snow or rain showers possible. Low 31-38.
Saturday: Mostly cloudy, breezy, chance for more snow or rain showers. High 40-47.
As we close out March, more heavy rain is expected.
Happy Opening Day! Image provided by sportslogos.net
Happy Opening Day to all who celebrate! As the Red Sox begin their campaign in Seattle, expect the roof to be closed this evening as some rain is likely with temperatures in the upper 40s. We’re also expecting rain around here this evening and tonight as low pressure rides up the East Coast along a frontal boundary. Some of the rain will be heavy, with flood watches in effect for most of the region. Many rivers and streams are running high due to recent rain, and this will only worsen the situation. Rain will gradually end on Friday as the system pulls away, but with colder air filtering in behind the storm, the rain may mix with or even change over to wet snow before ending. It will also be quite windy as the storm system continues to strengthen. High pressure builds in for Saturday with sunshine along with windy and seasonably cool conditions. A weak system will pass south of the region Saturday night, but with drier air in place, we’ll just see some clouds as it passes by. High pressure returns for Sunday and Monday with dry and seasonable weather, but clouds will start to move back in later Monday ahead of the next storm system headed our way.
The models are fairly unanimous that most of eastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island can expect at least 1-2 inches of rain by Friday evening. Images provided by Pivotal Weather.
Thursday night: Periods of rain, some of it heavy, becoming breezy. Low 34-41.
Friday: Rain ending by early afternoon, possibly mixed with a little wet snow, becoming windy. High 48-55.
Friday night: Skies clear out, still windy. Low 31-38.
Saturday: Sunshine and some late-day clouds, winds gradually diminish. High 47-54.
Saturday night: Partly to mostly cloudy, just a slight chance for a shower. Low 31-38.
Sunday: Becoming partly to mostly sunny, breezy. High 48-55.
Some stormy weather is on the way, and it may not be just rain for at least a part of the region.
Temperatures will be well below normal for late March over the next several days. Image provided by WeatherBell.
High pressure builds in for tonight and the first part of Friday with clear skies, diminishing winds, and chilly conditions. Clouds start to move back in late Friday ahead of a pair of systems. The first, a weak upper-level disturbance moving out of the Great Lakes will bring in some light precipitation before daybreak Saturday. With chilly weather in place, it may start as snow north and west of Boston, with rain to the south. The snow should change to rain before midday, but some minor accumulations are possible, mainly from the hills of Worcester county into the Monadnocks, but also across parts of Southern New Hampshire, where an inch or two is possible. The second system, a stronger low pressure area will move up the East Coast, bringing in some steadier and likely heavier rain late Saturday into Saturday night. Many of the models are showing the potential for 1-3 inches of rain, which could result in some areas of flooding. The storm pulls away early Sunday, but we need to keep an eye on a second area of low pressure that will develop off the Carolina coast on Sunday. It will likely stay too far offshore to have any appreciable impact on the region, but as it meanders around offshore, it could send in some clouds and possibly a few showers to Cape Cod and southeastern Massachusetts later Sunday into Monday. Otherwise, high pressure builds in with dry and cool conditions.
This should be a pretty good storm for ski country. Images provided by Pivotal Weather.
Thursday night: Clear skies, breezy during the evening, winds diminish overnight. Low 19-26.
Friday: Sunshine and some afternoon clouds. High 37-44.
Friday night: Becoming cloudy, light snow possible late at night north and west of Boston, light rain elsewhere. Low 28-35 during the evening, temperatures rise a little after midnight.
Saturday: Windy with snow changing to rain north and west of Boston, rain likely elsewhere, heavy at times in the afternoon. High 47-54 south of the Mass Pike, 39-46 north of the Pike.
Saturday night: Windy with rain ending by midnight, possibly mixed with a few wet snowflakes north and west of Boston. Low 25-32.
Sunday: Partly to mostly cloudy, windy, chance for a few snow or rain showers across parts of Cape Cod and the Islands. High 37-44.
Sunday night: Partly to mostly cloudy, windy, slight chance for a shower across the Outer Cape and Nantucket. Low 24-31.
Monday: Intervals of clouds and sun, windy. High 37-44.
There’s more rain on the way, but the weekend won’t be a washout.

We hope you enjoyed the nice weather today, because changes are coming quickly. Clouds quickly move in this evening ahead of a cold front, with some showers likely overnight and into Friday morning. The rain should end before midday as a wave of low pressure riding along the front moves offshore, but northeast winds off the still-chilly Atlantic will keep plenty of clouds around, with some drizzle and another shower or two possible, especially in eastern portions of the region. Temperatures will also be about 15-20 degrees cooler than today, likely staying in the 40s and lower 50s, especially north of the Mass Pike, but south of there, the warmer air may hang around especially during the morning if the cold front moves though a little slower. We’ll see a little clearing for Saturday as high pressure tries to build in, which will allow temperatures to moderate a little, but another front quickly follows for Sunday, with another round of showers, mainly during the morning hours. Some gusty winds are possible again behind the front later Sunday. By Monday, high pressure will try to start building in, but we’ll still be dealing with low pressure moving into Atlantic Canada. The result will be more clouds (with some sunshine), along with breezy and chilly conditions. In other words, typical mid-March weather.
Friday could end up quite mild across southern parts of the area. Images provided by Pivotal Weather.
Thursday night: Becoming mostly cloudy with showers developing, patchy fog possible, especially across Cape Cod. Low 37-44.
Friday: Showers end in the morning, plenty of clouds for the afternoon with some drizzle, maybe another shower or two. High 52-59 south of the Mass Pike, 44-51 north of the Pike.
Friday night: Partly to mostly cloudy. Low 32-39.
Saturday: Partly sunny. High 48-55, a little cooler across Cape Cod.
Saturday night: Clouds return, becoming breezy, showers possible late at night. Low 35-42.
Sunday: Morning showers, some afternoon sun may develop, windy. High 48-55.
Sunday night: Clear to partly cloudy. Low 29-36.
Monday: Intervals of clouds and sun, breezy. High 41-48.
If you liked all the rain last night and this morning then you’re in luck, as there’s more on the way for part of the weekend!

Clouds hang around this evening, then we’ll start to clear out late tonight as high pressure builds in. Friday should be a rather nice early March day with sunshine and mild temperatures, though we may see some clouds hang around across Cape Cod and possibly southeastern Massachusetts. Clouds stream back in Friday night and Saturday as another low pressure system heads our way. This system should pass north and west of the region, so we’ll be on the warm side of it, with mostly rain expected. Could there be a little wet snow mixed in at the start? It’s possible, mainly across the hills of Worcester County and up into the Monadnocks, but don’t count on it. Rain will end Sunday morning, but it will remain cloudy for much of Sunday, with windy and colder weather moving in. An upper-level disturbance moves through Sunday evening, and it could produce a few rain or snow showers. Skies will start to clear out on Monday as high pressure starts to build back in.
Much of the region could pick up another inch of rain Saturday night. Images provided by WeatherBell.
Thursday night: Plenty of clouds through the evening, some clearing late at night, still breezy. Low 30-37.
Friday: Sunshine and a few clouds. High 44-51, coolest along the coast.
Friday night: Increasing clouds. Low 28-35.
Saturday: Plenty of clouds, becoming breezy. High 39-46.
Saturday night: Windy with rain likely, some of it could be heavy. Low 33-40 during the evening, temperatures rise overnight.
Sunday: Rain ends in the morning, clouds with a few sunny breaks possible in the afternoon, windy. High 49-56.
Sunday night: Mostly cloudy and breezy with some rain or snow showers possible during the evening. Low 27-34.
Monday: A mix of sun and clouds, breezy. High 40-47.
