We’ve flipped into a true mid-winter pattern, and it’s sticking around. Daytime highs run teens and 20s much of the week, and nights drop to the single digits and below zero—then you add the wind, and we’re talking subzero wind chills most nights. No major storms before the weekend, but there are two quick-hitters to watch, and a Saturday night–Sunday window that could clip New England with accumulating snow.
Across the country, the scope of the cold and snow has been enormous…there’s still about a million customers without power after that swath of wintry weather from Texas to New England with ice in between. Here at home, the trough stays carved out over the East, keeping us colder than average, while the end-of-week dip taps Gulf/Atlantic moisture. With the jet positioned just east, the favored storm track is also east, but close enough to bring weekend snow if it nudges our way. We’re targeting Saturday night into Sunday for that chance; we’ll keep you posted.
Tuesday clipper: Clouds increase; a few snow showers W → central New England mid/late PM, a coating to ~½″ possible. Showers fizzle east; just a localized slick spot risk into evening.
Wednesday flakes north: VT into northern New England gets scattered snow showers/flurries PM–evening, coating to 1″ in spots.
Otherwise: It’s the cold that dominates.
Highs: Mostly teens & 20s (avg mid-30s in SNE this time of year).
Wind: Not damaging, but enough to bite – even at the warmest time of day, many feel single digits to low teens Tuesday.
Nights: Single digits to below zero north; wind chills 5–15 below common.
A reinforcing shot of cold settles in Thu night–Fri
