BITTER WINTER CHILL WINDS
Wind and cold will drive the forecast over the next few days. Widespread gusts 30-40 mph are expected, and may briefly reach 50 mph at elevations. As a result, subzero wind chills developed in many local cities this morning, including Boston and Worcester. Highs will peak in the 20s this afternoon with a mix of sun and clouds, but wind chills will never go above the lower teens. Dress warmly as this is the pattern through Thursday.
WEEKEND SHIFT
More seasonable temperature will return Friday, which means 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. Our forecast tools have varying tracks for that storm: the Euro misses us well to the south, and the GFS has a nor’easter with several inches of snow locally. We’ll keep an eye on these trends and keep you posted about Saturday and Saturday night impacts. For now, make plans with some light snow in mind. The greatest chance for impact is focused over southeastern MA, closer to the current track of that storm.
