Good morning. Massachusetts. I'm Aaron Jolly.

Step outside and you'll feel that mild 50 degrees hanging in the air. We're running 24 degrees warmer than usual for early March — spring is flexing.

A few patchy showers wrapped up earlier this morning. Now we're watching clouds gradually clear through the afternoon. Highs climb to the mid to upper 50s statewide. Boston tops out near 56 degrees. Worcester and Springfield push to 57 and 58. Southwest winds shift westward around noon, settling to a gentle 6 to 10 miles an hour.

Tonight brings mostly clear skies. Lows drop to the mid-30s inland while the coast holds around 40 degrees. Light southwest winds keep things calm.

Monday delivers wall-to-wall sunshine and a serious warm-up. Highs surge into the mid-60s — 63 in Worcester, 64 in Springfield, 65 in Boston. Southwest winds gust to 23 miles an hour. Perfect weather for a lunchtime walk if you ask me.

Tuesday keeps the warmth rolling with sunny skies and mid-60s again. Some interior valleys could flirt with 70 degrees — that's 20 to 25 degrees above normal. Wednesday turns unsettled with clouds building and rain developing. Highs in the upper 50s to low 60s. Then Thursday brings the plot twist. Widespread rain moves in, possibly heavy at times, before a cold front crashes through. Rain could mix with snow in higher terrain as temperatures plummet. Thursday night drops to the mid-20s with gusty west winds. Friday starts partly sunny with highs in the low to mid-40s.

Enjoy the mild weather while it lasts. Spring teased us, winter's coming back for an encore.

See you this afternoon.

Good morning. Massachusetts. I'm Aaron Jolly.

Step outside this morning and you'll feel that classic early March tease: 36 degrees under gray skies. But don't worry, folks, the sun is trying to break through. Today's high hits 50 degrees — that's 23 degrees warmer than usual for early March. It's just the opening act for a weekend warmup that feels like spring is knocking on the door.

Eastern Massachusetts starts with some patchy fog, but that clears up by 11 A.M. You'll climb to near 49 this afternoon. Don't get too comfortable, though. Tonight brings a after 9 P.M. The wild part? Temperatures rise overnight into the low 50s. You'll actually wake up warmer than you went to bed.

Central Massachusetts sees the same fog lifting by midday. Your rain chances creep in a little earlier, starting around 8 P.M. Highs hit 50 today, mirroring the coast. Overnight lows climb into the 50s as well. Just watch for winds picking up, gusting to 25 miles an hour by midnight.

Western Massachusetts, you've a slightly different story. While the rest of the state flirts with spring, you're dealing with fog that lingers until 2 P.M. Rain arrives by 8 P.M., but you only top out at 48 today. Tonight, you catch up to everyone else. Temps jump to near 50 by dawn, with rain likely until 5 A.M.

Looking ahead. Sunday is the winner. Highs statewide reach the 60s. But hold that thought. A backdoor cold front slams the brakes on spring fever by Thursday, bringing rain or even a wintry mix. We're also watching river levels as the snowmelt accelerates.

On this day in 2018, a nor'easter roared through with 80-mile-an-hour gusts. Today? Just a gentle reminder that March in Massachusetts is always a wildcard. Enjoy the mild air while it lasts.

See you this afternoon.

Good morning. Massachusetts. I'm Aaron Jolly.

Winter just tapped you on the shoulder this morning. We picked up an inch and a half of snow overnight. And right now it's still falling across parts of the state. Spring's two weeks away, but winter's not reading the calendar.

Here's the split personality we're dealing with. Boston sits at 33 degrees with heavy snow tapering off by mid-morning — but that snow's already mixing with rain and drizzle along the coast. Drive inland to Worcester and you hit 30 degrees with freezing rain and sleet coating everything. The Berkshires? They saw freezing rain overnight but are shifting to mostly rain by mid-morning at 32 degrees. If you're commuting right now, take it slow. Black ice doesn't announce itself.

Today stays raw. Highs struggle to reach the mid-30s statewide — that's 30 degrees below normal for early March. Eastern Mass tops out at 35. Central Mass hits 32, the Berkshires reach 34. Northeast winds gust to 25 miles an hour along the coast, so that 35 degrees will feel more like 25. Patchy fog develops this afternoon as precipitation winds down.

Tonight, lows settle around 31 to 33 degrees. Fog persists with light drizzle possible.

Saturday brings relief — clouds linger but temps rebound to the mid-40s as winds flip southwest. Showers arrive Saturday night into early Sunday.

Sunday clears with highs in the mid-50s. Monday and Tuesday turn unseasonably mild — upper 50s to mid-60s, well above normal. A cold front brings showers Wednesday into Thursday, then cooler air returns.

Charge your phone and give yourself extra time this morning. Roads are slick.

See you tomorrow.

Good evening. Massachusetts. I'm Aaron Jolly.

We've a messy night ahead. A classic March battle.

Eastern Massachusetts, you're seeing rain turn to sleet this evening. Expect that to change over to snow after midnight. You could see 2 to 4 inches of accumulation before it tapers off Friday morning. Temperatures hover right at the freezing mark, 32 degrees. It feels like 30 degrees with the wind.

In Central Massachusetts, the concern is ice. Freezing rain develops between 7 and 9 P.M. This creates a glaze on untreated surfaces. Sleet mixes in overnight. Your low drops to 30 degrees. Friday brings a high of just 36 degrees.

Western Massachusetts sees rain first. It transitions to freezing rain and sleet after midnight. The ground is colder there, so watch for icy spots late. Low temperatures stay near 31 degrees. Friday afternoon reaches a high of 39 degrees under cloudy skies.

Saturday looks mostly cloudy but milder. Highs reach the mid-40s. Rain showers are likely Saturday night.

Sunday brings a mix of sun and clouds. Highs climb to 55 degrees.

Here's your heads-up for the week ahead.

Monday looks sunny and pleasant. Highs near 59.

Tuesday is even warmer. Most areas see the low 60s.

Wednesday offers a chance of showers with a high near 61.

See you tomorrow.

Good afternoon. Massachusetts. I'm Aaron Jolly.

That mild 40 degrees you're feeling right now? Enjoy it. Because at 5 P.M., a Winter Weather Advisory kicks in and things get messy.

In the next 24 hours. Rain spreads across the state this afternoon. Western Massachusetts and Worcester already seeing it. Eastern areas, you're next — expect rain by early evening. Highs stay stuck near 39 degrees. That's 30 degrees colder than normal for early March.

Tonight's when it gets interesting. Rain flips to sleet and freezing rain north of the Mass Pike. The Worcester Hills and Berkshires could see a quarter inch of ice coating trees and power lines. That's the kind of ice that snaps branches and kills power. Eastern Massachusetts picks up 1 to 2 inches of sleet and snow by sunrise. Lows dip to the low 30s statewide.

Friday stays gloomy. More sleet and freezing rain in the morning, especially north of I-90. By afternoon it tapers to drizzle. Highs barely crack 34 degrees. If you're commuting north of the Pike Friday morning? Leave early. Roads will be slick.

But here's the plot twist. Saturday flips the script. Highs near 50 degrees. Sunday climbs to 54. Monday hits 57 with sun breaking through. And Tuesday? Mid-60s. That's a 25-degree jump from today. Winter's throwing one last tantrum before spring takes over.

In Full moon rises tonight. Sunrise tomorrow at 6, 14 A.M., sunset at 5:39 P.M. We're gaining almost 3 minutes of daylight each day now.

Keep the ice scraper handy tonight. You'll need it.

Good morning. Massachusetts. I'm Aaron Jolly.

That gray ceiling above you? It's hiding something nasty. Temperatures are sitting at 31 degrees right now, which means any wet pavement from yesterday has turned to black ice. Watch your footing.

In the next 24 hours. Rain rolls in from west to east today. The Berkshires get wet by late morning. Worcester sees it around noon. Boston waits until early afternoon. Highs only reach 37 to 39 degrees — about 21 degrees colder than normal for early March.

Tonight's where things get messy. That rain flips to sleet and freezing rain across the state. A Winter Weather Advisory kicks in at 5 P.M. For the Berkshires and areas north of I-90. Central and western Massachusetts could see one to two inches of sleet piling up. Eastern areas get a mix that'll coat everything it touches. Lows hover right at freezing.

Friday morning's commute looks rough, especially north and west of Boston. Sleet and freezing rain stick around through midday before fading to drizzle. Highs struggle to the mid-30s.

But here's the good news. High pressure marches in this weekend. Saturday climbs near 50. Sunday pushes mid-50s. And by Tuesday? We're talking mid-60s — a full 20 degrees above normal. Spring is knocking loud next week.

Tonight's full moon rises at sunset. You won't see it through the clouds, but it's up there.

In Today's highs, 37 in Boston, 39 in Worcester, 39 in Pittsfield. Tonight's lows: 33 east, 30 central, 32 west.

Good evening. Massachusetts. I'm Aaron Jolly.

That inch of snow yesterday? Already a memory. We're sitting at 51 degrees right now. And today shapes up as the last quiet day before things get interesting.

In the next 24 hours. Eastern Massachusetts enjoys mostly sunny skies with a high near 49 degrees. Head inland and temperatures drop fast. Central Massachusetts sits at 29 degrees this morning, with patchy fog developing overnight. Out in Western Massachusetts, it's a chilly 21 degrees with freezing fog possible by morning.

Tonight brings a Full Moon under mostly cloudy skies. Lows dip to 31 in the east, 29 in central areas. And 21 in the west. Watch for black ice Thursday morning.

Thursday is the day to watch. Rain arrives by midday. Then the atmosphere pulls a classic March trick. Temperatures fall through the 30s as cold air drains south. And that rain changes to freezing rain, sleet. And even some snow. A Winter Weather Advisory runs from 5 P.M. Thursday through noon Friday. Ice accumulations up to a quarter-inch possible in the higher terrain. Travel gets slippery Thursday evening.

Friday stays gray and raw with highs only in the low 30s.

But here's the twist. Saturday kicks off a remarkable warm-up. Highs climb to 52 degrees. Sunday reaches 53. Monday? Near 60. And Tuesday could hit 63 degrees — that's nearly 20 degrees above normal for early March.

Spring equinox is just two weeks away. And next week will certainly feel like it.

In Today, high 49, mostly sunny east. Tonight: Low 31, patchy fog. Thursday: High 39, wintry mix developing. Friday: High 34, lingering mix. Saturday: High 52, mostly cloudy.

Good afternoon. Massachusetts. I'm Aaron Jolly.

That inch and a half of snow from yesterday? It's basically a memory now. We're sitting at 54 degrees — running about 23 degrees warmer than usual for early March. Step outside and you'll feel that spring tease in the air. But enjoy the quiet. Because tomorrow is a different story.

In the next 24 hours. Here's how the rest of the day shapes up. Eastern Massachusetts holds onto sunshine with a high near 49. Central areas climb a touch further to 51. Out in the Berkshires, you'll see 47 with just a few clouds drifting by.

Tonight brings a quick cool-down. Eastern areas settle back to 31. Central Massachusetts dips to 29. And you'll want to watch for patchy fog developing after 3 A.M. The Berkshires get the chilliest drop down to 23, with fog rolling in late.

Thursday is when things get slippery. Rain arrives in the afternoon, then crashes into cold air to become sleet and freezing rain Thursday night. Central and Western Massachusetts could see up to a quarter inch of ice glazing everything. A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect from 5 P.M. Thursday through noon Friday. Roads will turn into ice rinks fast.

Friday stays raw and cold. Highs only reach the low to mid 30s. Lingering drizzle could keep the morning commute hazardous.

But here's the plot twist — the weekend flips the script completely. Saturday rebounds into the low 50s. Sunday hits the mid 50s. By Tuesday, we're looking at 63 to 65 degrees under sunny skies. That's nearly 20 degrees above normal.

Keep an eye on the full moon rising at sunset tonight. You'll catch it glowing through the clouds before the fog rolls in.

Charge your phone before the ice hits tomorrow. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves.

Good afternoon. Massachusetts. I'm Aaron Jolly.

That inch and a half of snow yesterday? Already feeling like a distant memory. We're sitting at 45 degrees right now with sunshine breaking through, the kind of day that tricks you into thinking winter's packed its bags.

In the next 24 hours. Central Massachusetts is leading the warmth charge with a high near 51 degrees. Eastern Massachusetts follows close behind at 49. Head west and the thermometer eases back a bit, but The Berkshires are still basking in a respectable 47 degrees.

Tonight brings a quick reality check. The mercury drops fast after sunset. Western Massachusetts plunges to 23 degrees under partly cloudy skies. Central areas bottom out around 29. The coast stays milder near 31. Keep an eye out for patchy fog developing late, especially in the valleys.

Tomorrow. Winter reminds us it's not quite finished. A Winter Weather Advisory kicks in at 5 P.M. Thursday for areas along and north of the Mass Pike. Rain arrives Thursday afternoon, then transitions to a messy mix of sleet and freezing rain Thursday night. We could see up to a quarter inch of ice in spots. That makes for a tricky Friday morning commute, so you'll want to plan ahead.

Friday stays gray and cold with highs only in the mid-30s. But here's the plot twist: Saturday rebounds to the low 50s. Then Monday and Tuesday? We're talking highs near 60 degrees. Some spots could even touch the mid-60s by Tuesday. That's nearly 20 degrees above normal for early March.

The spring equinox is just 16 days away. And next week will certainly feel like it's already arrived. Get out there and enjoy the sunshine today — we're gaining nearly 3 minutes of daylight. And there's a full moon tonight to top it off.

Good morning. Massachusetts. I'm Aaron Jolly.

That inch and a half of snow overnight left a slick surprise. Watch your step this morning, because hidden black ice is coating untreated surfaces. This is especially true west of Interstate 495, where temperatures dipped into the upper 20s. Take it slow on the driveways and side streets.

In the next 24 hours. But here's the good news. The sun breaks through by mid-morning. Eastern Massachusetts climbs to 49 degrees this afternoon. Central areas reach 51. Out in the Berkshires, fog lingers until about 10 A.M. Before partly sunny skies take over with a high near 47. That's about 22 degrees warmer than normal for early March.

Tonight turns clear and cold. Lows drop to 31 in the east, 29 in central areas. And a chilly 22 degrees out west. Patchy fog may redevelop late.

Thursday starts dry, but rain arrives by afternoon. Here's where it gets interesting. Thursday night into Friday, another round of freezing rain mixes in, especially along and north of the Mass Pike. That could make for a tricky Friday morning commute.

The weekend brings relief. Saturday hits the low 50s. Sunday reaches 53. And next week? We're talking 60s by Tuesday. Spring is knocking on the door — just two weeks until the equinox.

In Sunrise at 6, 16 A.M., sunset at 5:38 P.M. We're gaining nearly three minutes of daylight each day now. Tonight's full moon should shine bright once those clouds clear out.
