Boston 25 Weather

Weather Alert

STAYING COLD

Mostly sunny much today with some high clouds working in through the afternoon as low pressure develops well south of New England. We stay cold with highs reaching the upper teens to around 20. Less in the way of wind today compared to yesterday, though windchills will still be in the upper single digits and teens.

Another frigid night is ahead with thickening clouds and temps in the single digits again, few spots below 0! Wind chill will range from -10 to 5 above as winds increase from the north. A few Ocean effect snow showers will develop along the coast.

WEEKEND STORM

A large coastal storm will take shape this afternoon and evening, bombing out quickly, which basically means it will strengthen fast! The storm is forecasted to take a southern route which results in most of New England missing its brunt.

The best chance for snow will be southeast MA and the Cape where we could see 1-3″ of snow with a bit more possible across Nantucket Sunday morning through early Sunday night. Further to the west and north, a coating or so is expected, mainly along and around the I-95 corridor from Providence, RI to Boston’s north shore. A slight shift in the storm’s path will add or subtract from those totals.

Gusts 40-55 mph are expected along the coastline, strongest on the Outer Cape and Nantucket. The gusty forecast will drive growing waves. A Coastal Flood Advisory is up for eastern Mass and a Coastal Flood Watch is in effect for the Cape, and Islands Sunday to Monday for minor coastal flooding. Beach erosion is also expected. Highs tides at 10 AM Sunday, 11 PM Sunday and 11 AM Monday are the ones to watch.
