A freeze is expected to occur across a good portion of Eastern Mass. tonight as temps dip into the upper 20's. As usual, Boston will remain just above the freezing mark. but the city will have our first frost. On Thursday a storm will gather to the south, and will intensify rapidly as it moves NE towards the cape. The storm will come a little closer than I thought yesterday so that means very strong NE winds along the coast, and especially the cape. It also means the wintry mix will be pushed further to the west. Still, some wet snowflakes are still possible north and west of 128 on Friday morning. Temps will struggle to reach 40 on Friday afternoon. Then on Sunday a similar situation is forecasted to happen, but the track of the storm is still uncertain.
Local alerts: Freeze warning for all of the suburbs of Boston. (Except Norfolk county because they have already had a freeze) A frost advisory in effect for Boston and the Cape. Coastal Flood warning for the entire Mass. coast, for some splash over on Friday, as the winds will push water to the coastline. Also, tides are very high at this point in the month. A wind advisory or high wind warning will likely be needed for portions of the coastline on Friday.
Boston area forecast:
Tonight: Frost advisory for the city, freeze warning elsewhere. Low around 35 in Boston, to 31 in JP and about 28 elsewhere.
Thursday: Sunny, then increasing clouds. A chance of a few afternoon showers. Chilly. High 46. Winds turning to the NE around 15 MPH.
Thursday night: Cloudy. Rain all along the coast, including Boston developing by midnight. A mix of rain and snow outside of 128, with little accumulation. Becoming windy. Lows in the mid to upper 30's. NE wind of around 20 MPH, increasing to 25 MPH with gusts to 40 MPH along the coast. About 15-20 MPH with gusts to 30 MPH inland.
Friday: Any wet snowflakes turning quickly to a wind-driven heavy rain. The rain may taper to showers in the afternoon. High 44. Very windy. NE winds of 20-30 MPH with gusts to 55 MPH on the cape, 45 MPH in Boston and the north shore, and 35 MPH inland.
Friday night: Rain ending, wind shifting to the north at around 15-25 MPH. Low 37.

ReplyDeleteThanks for checking out my blog. No frost is expected this weekend,as clouds and rain will help keep temps in the upper 30's in Boston overninght. Last night temps dropped to 36 at Logan, not quite cold enough for our first frost in the city. But temps dropped in to the mid and upper 20's outside of Boston,and a killer freeze occured.
