Winter showing up

COLD BEFORE THE STORM

Chilly weather will repeat Tuesday and Wednesday with sunrise teens/20s and afternoon highs in the upper 30s to lower 40s. It will stay pretty bright during the day today. Partly cloudy skies will develop this evening with patchy flurries. There may be a few inland communities that see a coating, but it will not be widespread.

Clouds will increase Wednesday afternoon ahead of our next storm. There’s the slight chance for a rain or snow shower early evening. Precipitation will fill in late evening with coastal rain and inland snow making for slow travel after 10 PM or midnight.

MID WEEK STORM

This storm will be a fairly quick mover, typical of clipper systems which move our way from Canada. A coating up to 3″ of snow will fall north and west of 128 with the highest totals at higher elevations where some spots northwest of Worcester could see 3-6″. Closer to the coast you’ll see snow and rain, but sticking will be difficult with temperatures expected to remain above freezing. I don’t want to rule out a grassy coating east of 128 into Boston, but roads will be generally wet in the city and southeastern MA. The storm will peak with snow and rain overnight through Thursday morning with a few rain and snow squalls lasting into the afternoon.

It will turn windy and cold Thursday night to Friday with dry weather back on tap. Plan on another chilly weekend.
