Weather

By Jonathan R. Moskaitis
STAFF METEOROLOGIST

In New England, March is typically a tumultuous month of large temperature swings and powerful, precipitation-bearing cyclones. However, this March has not lived up to such a reputation. There has been only 0.5 inches (1.3 cm) of precipitation so far (average for the month is nearly 4 inches/10 cm), and just two significant temperature changes. The benign weather will continue for at least the next five days, as we remain in a pattern of cool, dry conditions. A strong storm passing offshore may bring a few showers to our region on Saturday night, but it is very unlikely we will see appreciable rain accumulation.
