Cold

Friday’s weather broadcasts are loaded with information, as New England spring lives up to its reputation of producing a cornucopia of weather.  We start Friday with sunshine and a busy breeze bringing temperatures in the 40s but feeling like the 30s. The wind blowing out of the west-southwest, coupled with the bright morning sun, brings a promising boost of...

With Wednesday night’s showers gone, sunshine and clouds seesaw back and forth in the sky over New England Thursday. Afternoon clouds will bubble up just enough for a sprinkle here and there, but overall it will be a fair and pleasant day.  Inland high temperatures Thursday will reach and exceed 60 degrees, while the coast sees a sea breeze...

Thursday: Variable clouds. Highs just over 60. Overnight Thursday: Slight chance of a shower. Lows in the 40s. Friday: Breezy, fair, night rain and snowflakes. Highs around 60.

Fresh, spring air has taken hold of New England – dry enough in most spots for ample sunshine, though cold air aloft is still making for enough clash between warm surface air and upper level colder air. That clash will create clouds that will produce a few showers in Maine and the Great North Woods of New Hampshire Tuesday, particularly…

A howling wind across Eastern New England kept it loud outside people’s homes Sunday night into Monday. Those northerly winds gust up to 45 mph within 30 miles of the coast will last through the day Monday, taking already cool temperatures in the lower 40s and driving the “feels like” temperature into the lower 30s all day!  Rain will not…

Limited Friday morning sunshine will yield to advancing clouds during the afternoon as a spiraling upper level disturbance with strong atmospheric energy drops southeast out of the Central Great Lakes.  Poised to drop south of New England as it moves over the western Atlantic Ocean, this disturbance will spawn development of a new storm center at the surface, east...

Family distraught after 2-year-old girl dies in cold.

This evening snow squalls continue across the North Country, putting down around an inch of quick accumulation and making travel slick due to an arctic front as it heads south. The snow showers dissipate after 9 p.m. as the front slips to southern New England. By the time it passes through, it dries up, so no snow is expected south...

We have the battle of airmasses right across the northeast this evening. Cold air to the north and more snow filling in across the North Country, mild air to the south and drier. Tonight the snow continues to fill in across northern New England, while southern New England stays mostly cloudy with a sprinkle and temperatures around 50.

We had some flurries flying today, partly cloudy skies, brutal wind chills and cold temperatures. Snow showers amounted to a dusting across North Great Barrington, Massachusetts to 5.5 inches across Amity, Maine from the last 24 hours. Snow lingers across the mountains through early evening then everyone dries off tonight. The wind slowly diminishes tonight, but temperatures will fall to...

Mountain snow continues this evening and tonight, while the rain/snow line continues to slowly sink to the south and east overnight. The evening drive with be interrupted by scattered rain across southern New England. Northern New England will see a few inches of snow on the roads and this will cause a slow commute with the slick roads.

Today we had highs near 60 degrees thanks to a south wind, though we didn’t have much of an opportunity to enjoy the warmth with scattered showers around all afternoon. The steadiest rain was across Providence, Boston and for areas southeast between noon and 4 p.m. The rain tapers off from west to east, with the heaviest rainfall across southeastern...

March is off to a very cold start across New England, with temperatures running 5 degrees below average so far in Boston. This cold air is finally almost ready to depart. Almost being the keyword. After a mixture of sun and clouds today, with a few snow showers, skies will clear out again tonight. Temperatures will once more drop into...

We are in the middle of a cold spell across the northeast, and that means another bitterly cold night as lows dip into the single digits, teens south, and below zero across the North Country. Wind chill values will be around zero for much of the night and for Thursday morning. High temperatures will stay cold in the afternoon, 20s...

Icy-cold temperatures continue to take hold in New England for the next couple of days. Average highs across southern New England are in the low 40s, while northern New England average highs are in the upper 30s this time of the year. We easily stay 10-20 degrees below normal until our airmass modifies Friday. Until then, a west/northwest breeze picks...
