Premium Weather Update March 4, 2026

A quasi-stationary front will remain parked across the region over the next few days, introducing the occasional shower threat and plenty of some uncertainty in temperatures thanks to the 10-20° swing from one side of the front to the other (though we’re most certainly on the cooler side the next few days). Waves of low pressure along the front will help to move it as they drive batches of rainfall through – and it’s all rain, and the strongest wave and heaviest rain look to occur later Thursday/Thursday Night.

Another wave later Friday will pull the front more decidedly northward, warming temperatures for the weekend; a significant warm-up is likely into early week before one cold front brings temperatures back to normal later week, and a longer-range guidance suggests a second brings in some much colder air into the following week
