Snow exits, cold arrives

WEATHER ALERT

The last of the snow wrapped up across the state Saturday evening with quite the spread in amounts! A baseline 3″ fell across the area, only western Mass seeing less in spots. There were two very well defined bullseyes, one on the North Shore and another in southern Rhode Island, where 8-12″ accumulated! Boston and parts of the South Shore ended up in the 4-7″ range with amounts on the Cape still coming in as snow lingers (though likely 2-5″).

EXTREME COLD

Heading overnight, the bigger story becomes the cold. Temperatures will plunge, dropping into the single digits and even below zero in spots. Add in gusty winds of 30–40 mph, and it’s going to feel downright brutal. Wind chill early Sunday morning will run 20 to 30 degrees below zero.

An Extreme Cold Warning is in effect for central and western Massachusetts and much of New Hampshire, while eastern Massachusetts is under a Cold Weather Advisory. This is dangerous cold, especially for anyone spending time outdoors.

Sunday stays frigid. High temperatures only reach the teens, and with the wind, it will feel colder all day. If you’re planning to head out to watch the Patriots in the Super Bowl, make sure you bundle up and dress in layers.

NEXT WEEK

The cold will linger through Monday, although the sun will be out. We should return to 30 degrees again by Tuesday, but our average remains almost 10 degrees above this mark. We’ll also face another good chance for snow overnight into Wednesday, although at this time, potential accumulation appears to be completely under six inches.
