It’s a complex weather setup over the next few days in New England, but Matt breaks it all down for those who love the “deep dive” into the meteorology that drives the forecast. Just a reminder, if you’re looking for something short and sweet covering the next 24 hours, you’re looking for Danielle’s Noyes’ Notes/1°Outside Today from early morning, on our homepage or linked here!
Rainfall intensifies across New England tonight, with heaviest downpours between 9 PM – 2 AM. While severe thunderstorms stay south in the Mid-Atlantic, there’s still a low chance for isolated lightning in parts of western and central New England, with a 5-10% chance for Boston around midnight.
Wind gusts will pick up overnight, with southerly gusts over 40 mph, especially along the coast. The rain tapers off by Thursday morning, but an additional round of scattered showers or even a thunderstorm is possible in the afternoon as an occluded front moves through.
New England catches a brief lull Thursday morning, but another disturbance aloft will bring a chance for isolated afternoon showers & isolated thunderstorms. By Thursday night, winds shift west-northwest, setting up a much gustier and colder day Friday.
By early Friday morning, another weak disturbance could bring scattered snow showers, particularly across northern and western New England. Some areas may briefly coat over, and with temperatures near freezing, slick spots are possible for the morning commute where these materialize.
The bigger impact Friday will be strong winds, with gusts:
These winds could lead to isolated power outages and will keep wind chills feeling much colder than the actual temperature, which will struggle to hit 40°F.
Saturday remains breezy & seasonably cool, with mountain snow showers continuing. Sunday is quieter, but another weak system could bring light rain & snow by Monday, particularly in northern and central New England.
