Wicked cold start to the week for New England

Monday morning may have been deceptive– while we started out in the low 30s (which is right on par for this time of year). However, thanks to a cold front that came through New England, and the arctic air behind that front, temperatures will actually go down as we head into the afternoon. Midday temperatures will only be in the mid to upper 20s, roughly 20 degrees below average! Yikes!

On top of that, it’ll be windy as well, making it feel like temperature are only in the teens! Bundle up today… and tonight too! Overnight lows will be between 10-15 degrees, with a few outliers having the potential to reach single digits.

Tuesday afternoon, highs will reach the low 30s. While most of the day stays sunny, we’re keeping an eye on a small disturbance that may leave a light wintry mix behind Tuesday night/early Wednesday morning. We also have the potential for a second round of precipitation on Wednesday afternoon. This looks like it would be mainly rain, but a wet snowflake or two could mix in later in the day. Otherwise, Wednesday’s highs will be in the mid 40s… a much different feel compared to the early week.

Stay warm!
