Arctic front Thursday

Wednesday will be a nice day with sunny skies and temps near 40. Most of Thursday will be fine as well, until evening when a strong cold front arrives. Snow showers and snow squalls will accompany the front, and these squalls are capable of putting down a inch or 2 in a half hour or so. However, not all locations will receive a snow squall. Then Friday will be bitterly cold, with sunny skies temps will struggle to reach 20! Then, a powerful ocean storm will make a close pass to the region on Saturday. However, at this point it is a miss.


Boston, MA forecast:

Thursday night: A chance of a snow squall before 9 PM, then clearing. Turning very cold with lows in the teens.

Friday: Sunny, but frigid. Highs in the upper teens. Wind chill values near 0 all day.

New all time wind record: A new all time wind record on earth has just been announced. A wind gust of 254 MPH occurred on Barrow Island, Australia during a cyclone in 1996! This breaks the old record set on Mt. Washington in NH of 231 MPH! The strongest wind gust ever recorded from an Atlantic Hurricane on land was set in Mass of 186 MPH during the great Hurricane of 1938!
