New England Forecast: Cold Start and Sunny Skies Expected Wednesday A cold air mass from Canada will clash with the rising sun angle during mid-March, creating a chilly start to the day. Temperatures are projected to be 5 to 10 degrees below average in the early morning, with wind chills dropping into the single digits and low teens across Boston and northern regions. This will make for a particularly brisk commute, especially for those traveling to work. As the day progresses, mostly sunny skies will dominate, allowing the sun’s warmth to gradually raise temperatures to the mid and upper 30s in Boston and Southern New England. Winds are expected to ease throughout the afternoon, though the cold air will persist. While the sun will provide some relief, the overall conditions will remain cool, with high pressure systems maintaining calm and clear skies. Wednesday night will bring partly to mostly clear skies, offering a potential opportunity to spot the Northern Lights in Northern New England. However, temperatures will drop again to the teens and low 20s north of Massachusetts, so those planning to observe the auroras should prepare for chilly conditions. In Greater Boston, temperatures are expected to fall below freezing after 8 p.m., though the likelihood of the Northern Lights appearing southward remains uncertain. Looking ahead, a storm system is set to move into the region late Friday night through Saturday morning, bringing a mix of snow and rain. The storm is expected to deliver light snowfall to Northern New England, with 2 to 4 inches of accumulation possible, while southern areas and coastal regions may see a coating of snow or light rain. Greater Boston is likely to experience a brief wintry mix before transitioning to rain.#boston #vermont #new_england #northern_new_england #cape_and_islands
