BITTER WINTER CHILL & WINDS
Wind and cold will drive the forecast through Thursday. Widespread gusts 30-40 mph are expected, and may briefly reach 50 mph, especially at elevations. Highs will peak in the 20s again Thursday but wind chills will never go above the lower teens. A mix of sun and clouds will continue with a flurries. When it is this cold, even a brief flurry can coat the ground.
WEEKEND SHIFT
More seasonable temperature will return Friday, which highs in the upper 30s. The forecast will stay dry through then.
A storm will develop over the southeastern US and strengthen over the Atlantic Saturday. For now, it looks like some widespread light snow will fall Saturday morning or midday around a coating-1″, 2″ at most, with a wave of energy coming from the west. The main storm is trending too far south for substantial snow in southern New England. It’s worth watching closely, because a small shift could bring a few inches of snow to southeastern MA. We’ll continue to monitor the situation and keep you posted.
