Boston 25 Weather

Weekend Weather Alert: Saturday storm, Sunday cold

FLURRY FRIDAY

A northeast wind will blow in some light snow showers off the ocean today. A patchy coating is possible in some communities along the coast, but most Massachusetts towns will remain dry and cloudy.

SATURDAY STORM

Snow will fill in after midnight across the region and fall most of Saturday. Although most of the time that snow will be light, bands of heavier snow are expected-and tricky to pinpoint ahead of time. Roads will be snowy most of the day with snow tapering off by 7 PM in the Boston area, later at night on Cape Cod.

Widespread accumulations of 2-4″ are expected, but higher amounts of 3-6″ are likely in eastern Massachusetts and in bands inland too. A few isolated spots could even get up to 8″, but those reports will not be widespread. Be sure to check back as we tweak the position of higher totals as needed-right now the “jackpot” looks like the North Shore.

EXTREME COLD SUNDAY

Cold and wind will blast across the region Saturday night with subzero wind chills. That blustery, bitter cold will last all day Sunday with the risk of frost bite. We have an EXTREME COLD WARNING and COLD WEATHER ADVISORY in effect Saturday evening through Sunday afternoon. That means wind chills will range from -10 to -30 BELOW zero locally!
