Chills ahead

Friday gives us a windy end to the work week! Gusts could get up into the 20s, 30s, and even near 40 mph today. Be careful on the roads, especially if you drive a high-profile vehicle! Temperatures will be near average, in the upper 30s on Friday afternoon.

Saturday starts off relatively calm, with a mix of sun and clouds and temperatures in the mid 30s. However, our next big storm will get here late Saturday night! Snow showers will begin around 10 PM, and more or less won’t stop until around 8 AM on Sunday morning. Timing is on our side in that snow won’t be falling during peak weekend travel times. However, timing is also on the side of the storm, in that it’s overnight arrival gives it access to colder air, and therefore more snow rather than a wintry mix.

The result of this storm will be accumulations between 4-8″ for most of southern New England– more snow than we’ve seen from a single storm this winter!

This coming week brings more active weather. Monday gives us a break in precipitation– we’ll have more sunshine around, and temperatures will be in the low 30s. However, we could be facing two more consecutive storms– one Tuesday night/Wednesday morning, and another on Thursday. We’ll have more information throughout the week!
