March On

A high pressure system settling in briefly for Friday will close this last full month of winter on a tranquil and relatively mild note. Overall, February averaged over 4°F a day warmer than normal this time around.

March will begin with yet another surge of moisture, associated with a low pressure system tracking from the South towards eastern Great Lakes. A cold front will then approach on Sunday: More showers are expected before clearing and cooler weather makes a quick appearance in our area early next week.

Today: Partly to mostly sunny in the wake of a cold front passage. Northerly winds will gradually become onshore as the high pressure drifts overhead. Midday highs in mid to upper 40s (7­9°C) before cooler sea breezes set in near the coast.

Tonight: Clear early, then slowly increasing clouds. Cool, with lows in the mid 30s (2­3°C).

Saturday: Becoming mostly cloudy as the warm front comes through from the south. Southeasterly winds turning to southwest and strengthening. Showers arriving in the afternoon. High near 52°F (11°C).

Sunday: Partly cloudy and mild, with some more showers likely. Highs 55­60°F (13­15°C), lows in the 40s (5­9°C).
