It’s the weekend, and it will be a chilly one! There will be snow showers today but less wind. The breeze returns to end the weekend and lingers into President’s Day.
A quick-hitting storm stays mainly to our south, and we’re on the northern fringes of it. We expect a coating to 1″ for most of the South Coast, Buzzard’s Bay, Cape Cod and the Islands. Some areas could get near 2″, including Connecticut and Rhode Island. Through the afternoon, there’s still a chance for scattered snow showers that will bring patchy coatings to the rest of our area. There will be enough energy to form snow squalls between 2-7 pm. A quick burst of snow could drop visibility.
High temperatures this weekend will be in the mid 30s. There will be more clouds but less wind today. Sunday starts off cold in the teens and 20s. We’ll mainly stay near the mid-30s with partly cloudy skies. The wind will be gusty. It won’t be as strong as Friday, with gusts 25-30 mph at times. That’ll add a bite to the air!
It’ll still be breezy on Monday. Temperatures will rebound through midweek into the 40s. Models are hinting at a coastal storm that could bring rain and snow Friday.
