first alert forecast

We’ve been fortunate this winter with above average temperatures through much of the season. In fact, season-to-date, this is the seventh warmest winter thus far, and among the top five warmest Januarys on record. That comes to a screeching halt later this week. The first week of February will feature frigid temperatures and dangerous wind chills. The coldest temperature...

Rain and snow are moving in for the evening commute but it’s a different setup than Monday, with snow changing to rain. As a result, roads will be pre-treated. That’s not to be interpreted that slick roads won’t develop, because they will: a narrow band of light snow with little impact for most of Southern New England around midday...

It’s a seasonable day across New England with mostly quiet and calm conditions inland. Temperatures will top out in the upper 30s across southern New England. Increasing sun continues this afternoon with a quiet evening. It’s off in the coast where we’re tracking slightly higher seas coinciding with astronomical high tide allowing for coastal inundation to become a risk....

Pockets of light snow and snow showers will be tapering off and ending this evening, but additional coatings of snow will be possible before the conclusion of this event.  The biggest impact this evening and tonight will be the dropping temperatures – which will fall into the 20s for many (teens far North Country) and freeze leftover moisture on anything…

Our dreary weather pattern continues tonight and for tomorrow, and on the bright side we finally see some wintry precipitation for winter lovers! Light snow is expected around Boston Friday afternoon. Temperatures begin to fall as we see a northeasterly breeze overnight tonight.  Any residual moisture will freeze in place on untreated surfaces from drizzle or fog in northern...

We’re on the eve of the big storm. It’s been making headlines across the country for a couple of days now. Everything from extreme temp drops – from 51 to 0 in Denver – to blizzard-like conditions near the Twin Cities. Extreme cold won’t be the headliner here. However, we’ve definitely seen worse in that respect. However, we WILL get…

A strengthening storm will emerge from the Rocky Mountains later today and undergo rapid intensification as it crosses the central US tomorrow.

Cloudy skies, cold temperatures, wind chills in the 20s and snow! That pretty much describes our Sunday. We’re tracking snow pushing out of western New England eastward. This snow may spread as far east as Boston but it will be limited and difficult to accumulate in eastern Mass. Worcester county may see up to an inch or two of...

Ocean-effect snow showers woke up residents in southeastern Massachusetts on Saturday while Cape Cod and the Islands have seen rain. Temperatures Saturday evening will drop, allowing for more of that snow to spread over eastern Mass., possibly bringing some snow over Boston and the North Shore. Early morning precipitation might continue in the northeast, but as it ends in the…

Parts of southern New England could see some snow this weekend. And while not everyone will see flakes, the temperatures across all of New England will come crashing down to the 20s and 30s tomorrow afternoon for us all. A north wind will keep the wind chills in the 20s tomorrow and the far northern communities in New Hampshire, Vermont…

Storms continue to push through New England in a similar fashion. They’re quick movers, produce gusty winds and mild temperatures. The one thing they’re lacking is snowfall. That may change this coming weekend. Colder air finally moves in starting Friday, but will it be too cold? Cold air is dry, and usually accompanied by high pressure. High pressure can...

The first weekday of a new month always brings a look ahead to the monthly forecast in our morning show on NBC10 Boston, simulcast on NECN, from 4 a.m. to 7 a.m. and with Dec. 1 the start of not only a new month, but also a new season, there’s plenty of attention on the upcoming forecast.  Things have...

Two intensified to major hurricanes (Category 3 or greater) with…
