BOSTON (WHDH) - A strong cold front that’s moving into Massachusetts on Monday will bring dangerously strong winds and freezing temperatures.
A wind advisory has been issued for all of Massachusetts beginning at 1 p.m. for Berkshire County and 4 p.m. for the remainder of the state. The advisory is slated to last until midday Tuesday.
A wind chill advisory is also set to go into effect for parts of Western Mass. from midnight to late Tuesday morning.
Wind gusts are expected to reach 40 to 50 mph, with wind chills running -5 to -15 degrees Tuesday morning.
The gusts will be strong enough to cause power outages.
The arctic air will be enough instability for a few isolated snow squalls.
The cold air won’t last long with temperatures expected to reach into the mid to upper 40s by Wednesday afternoon.
