Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Boston/Norton MA
240 PM EST Thu Feb 26 2026
.WHAT HAS CHANGED...
No major changes for the first part of the forecast. Increased
chance for snowfall on Sunday with minor accumulations possible.
Still looking at a period of much colder temperatures Monday
into Tuesday.
&&
.KEY MESSAGES...
- Cool tonight and seasonable tomorrow. then warmer Saturday.
- Cold front likely brings a period of accumulating snow Sunday
afternoon. Front will be followed by significantly colder air
with temperatures falling to 10-15 degrees below average
early next week.
- Unsettled and warmer weather remains possible next week, but
uncertainty remains high.
&&
.DISCUSSION...
Key Message 1...Cool tonight and seasonable tomorrow, then
warmer Saturday.
We remain under a weak troughing pattern through the rest of this
week, which will keep southern New England in more seasonable
conditions. Lows tonight will be cool, falling into the teens and
even the single digits up in parts of the interior with radiational
cooling expected as high pressure moves in. Some localized
radiational fog is a possibility, but generally, most won't see it
tonight as it will be quite dry. A weak low pressure will pass well
offshore, but a low chance for some snow showers over Nantucket
still exists.
High pressure remains in place for Friday, leading to lighter winds
that shift more S to SW as the high progresses east. High
temperatures remain seasonable in the upper 30s to low 40s and sunny
skies. With the light S flow, warmer, more moist air will filter in;
925 mb temperatures climb to around 2C-5C Friday evening into
Saturday. Lows Friday night will only dip into the 20s with some
spots in the low 30s near the coast. More areas could end up seeing
some fog Friday night into Saturday morning as dewpoint depressions
approach 0F as well. High temperatures Saturday could approach the
50s with this trend continuing and an upper level ridge settled
aloft.
Key Message 2...Cold front likely brings a period of accumulating
snow Sunday afternoon. Front will be followed by significantly
colder air with temperatures falling to 10-15 degrees below average
early next week.
Model guidance continues to trend stronger with a shortwave passing
to the NW of the CWA Sunday. A bit of a wetter appearance to the
PWAT fields with the most recent guidance increasing to between 0.5
and 0.6 inches. High temperatures ahead of the front increase to
the mid 30s along the coastal plain and closer to freezing in the
interior. These marginal surface temps paired with the late February
sun angle likely mean that snow will have a difficult time sticking
to roadways on the coastal plain. Slippery conditions become more
likely further inland. A very cold airmass settles in behind the
front Sunday night with 850mb temps falling to between -12 and -15C!
Low temperatures on Sunday and Monday morning will be in or near the
single digits, with Mondays highs in the low to mid 20s. Winds will
be rather calm during this arctic outbreak, keeping the wind chill
index from dropping below zero.
Key Message 3...Unsettled and warmer weather remains possible next
week, but uncertainty remains high.
Temperatures are expected to warm back to more seasonal levels
Tuesday through the rest of next week, with highs in the upper 30s
to low 40s. Guidance continues to advertise some kind of overrunning
event as warm air aloft overspreads lingering low level cold air
over the Northeast Wednesday. While confidence remains quite low at
this time, these types of events tend to bring mixed precipitation
and icing. A strengthening southeast ridge should keep the theme of
warmer temperatures going through much of next week.
