As we head into March, the storm pattern is shifting, and for the first time in weeks, we aren’t ruling out a stronger system. Historically, March can bring some of the biggest snowstorms of the season, and while this winter has favored a drier, flatter jet stream, that may be changing.
The polar vortex is still in play, but instead of locking in dry, quiet weather, it’s shifting westward, allowing more storms to develop. At the same time, warm air and moisture are increasing from the south, setting up the classic March battle between lingering cold and increasing warmth.
While this doesn’t guarantee a major storm, it does open the door for stronger systems as we head deeper into the month.
🔹 March 1-6: Generally mild, with rain & mountain snow north.
🔹 March 7-10: Storm chances increase—could be rain south, snow north.
🔹 Mid-March: Cold makes a stand again—potential for one bigger storm.
✅ More frequent storms, but not all will be major.
✅ Southern New England may trend warmer with rain.
✅ Northern New England could see significant snow totals.
✅ Keep an eye on mid-March for a potential stronger storm.
