A disturbance moving through the Northeast will produce flurries and snow showers in Southern New England Wednesday night through Thursday morning. An inch or two of light, fluffy snow may accumulate where the snow showers are steadiest – primarily in Eastern Massachusetts. The temperature will be in the 20s in the evening and fall into the teens after midnight.
There will be scattered snow showers and flurries on Thursday, especially in the morning. Highs will be in the 20s. The wind will pick up Thursday night as another surge of Arctic air arrives in New England. Skies will become mainly clear, and the temperature will fall into the low to mid single digits by dawn Friday. The wind chill will be well below zero.
Friday will be a partly cloudy, brisk, and frigid day. Highs will struggle to reach 20°, and the wind chill will be in the single digits. The wind will diminish Friday night, and the temperature will fall to near zero under mainly clear skies.
Messy Storm Begins Saturday Night
After a frigid start on Saturday, clouds will increase during the day. It will likely stay dry through sunset before snow develops in the mid to late evening. It looks like there will be enough mild air moving into the storm to change snow to sleet, freezing rain and rain Saturday night into Sunday. There may be a few inches of snow before sleet and freezing rain, especially away from the coast. Right now, Sunday looks unsettled with occasional rain near the coast, and freezing rain or rain inland. With a deep snowpack, the storm may trend colder than what is now projected. While it’s unlikely to be all snow, there could be more mixed precipitation than rain. The temperature may reach the low 40s near the coast on Sunday, and it will stay in the 30s inland.
Cold and dry weather will return on a gusty wind early next week before another storm threatens in the middle of the week.
