Northern Lights update: The CME has finally arrived to Earth...during the day. BUT northern lights can last into this evening. The only problem is that New England will see a system push in tonight, playing spoiler. #northernlights @bostonglobe.com

Happy spring! Now here are two storms to throw into our 50° weather for Fri-Sun! Rain for #Boston Friday PM and Sunday PM. Snow way up north. #spring #mawx #riwx #nhwx #newengland @bostonglobe.com

Northern Light chances shift to Thursday PM. The problem is, our clouds increase. Hopefully, there's a good enough show for folks to catch the lights in Northern New England whenever there are breaks. #nhwx #vtwx #mewx #mawx #boston @bostonglobe.com

False spring? After the 13th warmest start to March on record for #Boston & most of #NewEngland, cooler weather is on deck. Some links to polar vortex slowing & splitting to support a stretch of below normal temps after this weekend. www.bostonglobe.com/2026/03/18/m... #mawx #riwx #nhwx #ctwx

Northern Lights alert! 🚨 A coronal mass ejection is heading towards Earth. Chance for aurora for Northern #NewEngland. Not so much for #Boston. When? Wed. PM, mostly clear skies. After 8 p.m. & try using the phone camera! #nhwx #vtwx #mawx #mewx #riwx www.bostonglobe.com/2026/03/17/m...

Top wind gusts from last night! Blue Hills tops with 81 mph wind gust. Boston, Worcester, and T.F. Green airports top 60 mph. In light of St. Patrick's Day, here are the top St. Patrick's Day snow totals for areas across Southern New England! #mawx #nhwx #riwx #boston @bostonglobe.com

Top wind gusts as of 8 p.m. Fall River currently tops with 66 mph wind gusts. #Boston sits at 49 mph for the top gust. #mawx #nhwx #riwx @bostonglobe.com

Broke down Monday's soaker in maps. Some below, more in story. Heavy rain of 1-3" to lead to some localized flooding in creeks & low-lying areas. General embedded t-storms while wind gusts really ramp up Monday PM - 50-70 mph gusts. #mawx #riwx #boston www.bostonglobe.com/2026/03/16/m...

Some minor flooding is possible for 10 rivers & streams in New England (orange) through Tuesday morning. Water ponding on roads is likely in low-lying areas in the entire watch area (green). #mawx #nhwx #riwx #boston @bostonglobe.com

Scattered showers & thunderstorms tomorrow. Some widespread heavy rain Monday evening. Low flash flood chances, but not zero. Look out for ponding roads tomorrow night. #mawx #nhwx #riwx #ctwx #mewx #vtwx #boston @bostonglobe.com

1st washout of the year on tap Monday for #Boston & #NewEngland. Scattered showers all day with heavier, steady rain on Monday evening. Up to 1-2", 3" locally. Some minor localized flooding is possible. Wind gusts to 30-50+ mph. #mawx #riwx #ctwx #nhwx #spring @bostonglobe.com

Spring Outlook: Par for the course for Boston & New England. Around normal temps & precipitation. Boston has seen 6 straight years of warmer springs than usual. #mawx #nhwx #riwx #ctwx #vtwx #mewx #boston @bostonglobe.com Check out the reasons why: www.bostonglobe.com/2026/03/13/m...

Snow is completely gone where I am in Worcester. What about near you? Look at what the last 10 days of very warm temperatures (and dew points >32°) did to the snowpack across #NewEngland. #mawx #riwx #ctwx #nhwx #mewx #vtwx #boston @bostonglobe.com

Minor flooding today along the Taunton River near Bridgewater from snowmelt. Look out for ponding in roads if you're in the #Bridgewater area. #mawx @bostonglobe.com

For anyone with the tropics on their mind. Here are the top 10 most costly U.S. Hurricanes with adjusted dollar amounts. Katrina, Harvey, Ian, Maria, Sandy. 2024's Helene ranks 6th. #tropics @bostonglobe.com

Tuesday (3/10) daily high record WATCH across #NewEngland. Current records: - Boston: 71° (1878) - Worcester: 67° (2020) - Springfield: 71° (2016) - Manchester, NH: 68° (2016) - Concord, NH: 72° (1878) - Portland, ME: 66° (2016) - Hartford, CT: 72° (2016) Forecast highs below! @bostonglobe.com

We're feeling the warmth! A few stats on #Boston late winter (mid-March into April). @bostonglobe.com

70s on Tuesday? Check out the forecast new daily high records for Tuesday in #NewEngland. This includes Worcester, Springfield, Hartford, Concord & Manchester, N.H., & Portland. #Boston & Southeast MA & RI just a touch under, but still warm. #mawx #riwx #nhwx #vtwx #mewx #vtwx @bostonglobe.com

Monday & Tuesday = mid-spring form in New England. 10-15° above normal. Highs into the 60s both days. Mostly dry too for both days. #mawx #nhwx #riwx #ctwx #vtwx #mewx #boston @bostonglobe.com

Snowpack is melting rapidly. Warm temps & higher dew points are eating away at frozen stuff. The last 24 hours = an 8-inch drop in snowpack. With 60s Mon-Tue., the next 3 days should do it for most of the snowpack across So. New England. #mawx #riwx #ctwx #boston @bostonglobe.com

Sunday brings DST back, the sun sets at 6:42 p.m in #Boston and around that time across all of New England! #mawx #ctwx #riwx #nhwx #mewx #vtwx @bostonglobe.com

Thursday afternoon through Friday morning — Look for a wintry mess. Snow, sleet, freezing rain. All inbound to Southern New England. Similar to Tuesday but a bit more south. Careful on walkways and roads between 5 pm and 9 am. #mawx #riwx #nhwx #ctwx #boston @bostonglobe.com

Tornado season has arrived. Last March saw 300 preliminary tornadoes — a new record for the month, reported over 20 states. March brings moisture from the Gulf, clashing with chunks of winter's lingering chill. The U.S. sees 95 March tornadoes on average. @bostonglobe.com

Hurricane #Melissa retired by the WMO. The new name? Molly. Melissa was a Category 5 monster that tied for the strongest landfalling hurricane ever in the Atlantic. 190 max wind speeds, 892 lowest pressure, 252 mph wind gust. #tropics #hurricaneseason #boston @bostonglobe.com

Another wintry mess inbound Thursday PM - Friday AM. Sleet, ice, & snow are all possible for #Boston & Southern New England. Plain snow up north. Careful on the roadways on Tues. commute home & to start Friday with many seeing patchy ice. #mawx #riwx #ctwx @bostonglobe.com

Ended up with more than a coating to 1" last night. Cold air remained trapped at the surface & didn't really escape before the warm front arrived. This meant large wet snowflakes from plenty of moisture present & temperatures right at freezing. Rt.-2 saw totals 3-5" #mawx #riwx #boston

Meteorological Winter Recap: snowier than avg. for 5 of 6 #NewEngland states, sorry #Maine. Providence saw the snowiest winter on record. Boston finished 9th. Colder winter than normal everywhere, 3-4° below avg. Little rain everywhere. #mawx #riwx #ctwx #nhwx #mewx #vtwx @bostonglobe.com

What a divided winter across the country! 12-1 to 2-28. Rankings: Out west, the warmest winter on record for many, but once you cross the Mississippi River, cold, cold, and more cold. Classic western ridge & eastern trough setup this winter. #winter #mawx #riwx @bostonglobe.com

Sure, a system will bring a coating of snow/wintry mix to # Boston this evening. BUT warmer air on the horizon. Jet stream turns zonal (flat) and warm air moves in. 50s by the weekend, 60s next week across Southern #NewEngland? #mawx #nhwx #ctwx #riwx #mewx #vtwx @bostonglobe.com

Wintry mess this afternoon & evening. A coating of snow is possible before being washed away in Greater Boston. Some icy spots too late Tue. & early Wed. Accumulating snow up north. #mawx #riwx #nhwx #boston @bostonglobe.com

Took a look at this winter's snow totals vs. 2014-2015's "Snowmageddon". Boston is pacing the highest snow totals since that winter, but is still 40" short of that record-setting season! Providence is on pace to beat it! #mawx #riwx #boston @bostonglobe.com www.bostonglobe.com/2026/03/02/m...

Happy meteorological spring! Yes, March does bring snow, BUT here are the 12/1-2/28 snow totals. - #Boston: 60.9" (avg. 32.8") - Milton: 78.6" (avg. 44.1") - Providence: 68.5" (avg. 26.7") - Worcester: 76.8" (avg. 45") Nearly double for some spots! #mawx #riwx #newengland @bostonglobe.com

Monday might be the last freezing day of winter for #Boston and most of Southern New England. Warming trend on the horizon with the first half of March likely much warmer than average across #NewEngland #mawx #riwx #ctwx @bostonglobe.com

Quick peek forward. Light snow coming Sunday morning, most see a coating, but a few spots can pick up an inch or two. #mawx #nhwx #riwx #mewx #vtwx #ctwx #boston @bostonglobe.com

67.8" of snow this winter for #Providence, 2nd highest ever total before Feb. 25 in a season. Only 1995-1996 had 77" before Feb. 25 AND had another 28" fall after that date. Wow. #riwx #noreater #blizzard0f26 @bostonglobe.com

3' of snow in parts of RI & SE Mass. How? A late shift east + frontogenesis + instability = long-standing snow band of 6+ hours. The science behind how we got to historic jackpot snow totals 6" more than any forecast. #mawx #riwx #boston @bostonglobe.com www.bostonglobe.com/2026/02/24/m...

A bit more snow is entering New England on Wednesday morning, but held north and west of the jackpot zone of the Blizzard of '26. This clipper will be in and out in a hurry, but a wet commute on Wednesday. #mawx #nhwx #riwx #boston #newengland @bostonglobe.com

Top 10 snow totals across MA & RI from #Blizzardof26. Multiple new storm snowfall records were set for some of the top-10 locations. Keep in mind, some spots don't have stations & are spotter submissions, but probably are new records. #mawx #riwx #noreaster @bostonglobe.com

Wow. #tfgreen hit 37.9" - just a hair below the all-time snow storm record in Rhode Island. .1" below the 38" set in Woonsocket from Blizzard of '78. #mawx #riwx #noreaster #rhodeisland @bostonglobe.com

Blizzard of '26, a clone of Blizzard of '78? It's close. '78 top snow totals: 36" in MA, 38" in RI '26 top snow totals: 31" in MA, 36.2" in RI Lowest pressure: '26 = 968 mb, '79 955.5 '78 wins, but barely. Both near exact storm track. Wow. #mawx #riwx #blizzard #noreaster @bostonglobe.com

And now #Massachusetts joins the club. A new state record for 24-hour snow total as Somerset passes 31". The previous record was 29" in 24 hours in Natick (4/1/1997) #mawx #boston #noreaster @bostonglobe.com

Coming up next. Likely new record for 24-hr snow total in Massachusetts. Somerset sits at 28.7". The standing record is 29" in Natick, set back on 4/1/97. #mawx #noreaster #blizzard @bostonglobe.com

Ok, so this bomb cyclone sits at 968 mb. Blizzard of '78 dropped to 955.5 mb, and Storm of the Century 1993 dropped to 960 mb. This will be an all-timer. #mawx #nhwx #riwx @bostonglobe.com

Well that didn't last long. A new new state record at T.F. Green airport - 32.8" and climbing!! This jumps over the previous 24-hr snow total record (Woonsocket - 30") set back during the Blizzard of '78 #riwx @bostonglobe.com

New state 24-hr snow total record for #RhodeIsland. Warwick reached 31.5", passing Woonsocket's 30" total from the Blizzard of '78! Wild. One or two local totals can reach 3 feet in Rhode Island/Southeast Mass. Wow. #mawx #riwx #noreaster #blizzardof26 @bostonglobe.com

Officially a blizzard for many spots of Southern New England. NWS released the list a bit ago: #mawx #riwx #ctwx @bostonglobe.com

Tracking records: The highest 24-hr snow totals for each sit at the following, with our current 24-hr totals as of 10 a.m.: MA.: 29" - Natick - 4/1/97 - (Swansea 24.8") RI: 30" - Woonsocket - 2/7/78 - (Richmond (26") CT: 36" - Ansonia - 2/9/13 - Chester (22") #mawx #riwx #ctwx @bostonglobe.com

Pretty cool 😎

Power outages as of 8 a.m. Going to get a bit worse before it gets better. #mawx #ctwx #riwx #blizzard #noreaster @bostonglobe.com

Updated forecast snow totals, what we've seen so far, and max wind gusts. Storm tugged slightly east overnight, bringing totals east & the slightest ever drop in snow totals. Max wind gusts 70+ along the Cape. 19" in South Kingstown, RI. #mawx #ctwx #riwx @bostonglobe.com
