Another blustery and chilly day; windy, cold conditions continue through weekend
The wind isn’t nearly as fierce Friday as it was Thursday, but we still have occasional gusts to 40 mph through the afternoon. Unfortunately, there is more wind Saturday with gusts to 35mph… And on Sunday, too. If we’re pointing fingers, blame can be squarely placed on a stalled storm over the Maritimes. Air circulating around the storm will keep...

Wind gusts could top 50 mph Thursday; isolated power outages possible
There’s plenty of cold waiting to pour into New England in the coming days, but first, we need the wind to bring it in. As if on cue, the gusts have taken hold. With such strong winds in the middle of the atmosphere, we have a chance to top out near 50-55 mph in spots Thursday afternoon. At these speeds,...

Rainy morning, with strong winds moving in later in the day
Rain will scoot through early Wednesday, with a few hints at sunshine in the mid/late morning. As the storm continues to develop to our north, any sun will be swallowed up by clouds as a final round of showers comes through later in the afternoon and evening. All in all, not a horrible start to the new year, and certainly...

Arctic air on its way out, rain on its way in this weekend
We’re at a turning point in the forecast. The arctic air that’s gripped New England since last weekend is about to get booted. Last night’s cold temperatures in the teens and 20s will be a thing of the past for the next several days. Highs recover to the upper 30s to near 40 as sun dominates Friday. This will also...

Christmas Eve storm to bring up to 8 inches of snow to parts of New England
Snow showers are moving through early on, but the accumulation is barely enough to coat the ground in most spots. We’re watching this weak storm ripple through New England during the early part of the day, then quickly scoot offshore this afternoon. If you’re traveling north, the scene is dramatically different. From Burlington, Vermont, to Bangor, Maine, the snow will be...

Will New England see a white Christmas this year?
Numbing cold is here to greet us this morning! That cold sweeping over Cape Cod Bay produced some snow accumulation with ocean-effect overnight. While some clouds will linger there through early afternoon, sunshine is abundant elsewhere, with lighter winds all around. That should allow temperatures to steadily rise into the upper 20s. We won’t be as cold Monday night, but still...
