Today was the coldest day since last winter with highs only reaching 21 in Boston, and wind chills near 0 all day. Tonight will be just above 0 in most suburbs, and tomorrow will be cold as well. The cold air will remain in place for the potential of a major snowstorm this weekend. A storm will come part way up the east coast on Saturday giving 6-12+ inches of snow in interior North Carolina, DC and Baltimore. The question is how close will the storm come to us? One trustworthy model gives us a major blizzard Saturday night and Sunday with over a FOOT OF SNOW for most of the area, and winds over 40 MPH. Of course, one of the other models I trust sends the storm mostly out to sea with light accumulations from Boston points south and east.
Local forecast:
Tonight: Frigid and breezy. Lows in the middle single digits in most suburbs, but near 12 Downtown and on the Cape. Also, if the wind drops off a few locations could drop below 0. Wind chill values below 0 all night.
Friday: Not as cold and sunny. High 27. NW winds of 10-20 MPH. Wind chill values as low as 5 below before 9 AM.
Friday night: Clear, lows in the teens.
Saturday: Sunny early, then increasing clouds. High near 30.
Sunday: Watching potential nor'easter. Temps near 30, so it would be mostly snow for this storm. Stay tuned for details.
