The tail end of the storm system producing this cold and gusty northwesterly wind. It is a squeezing effect between the storm system exiting our area and the high pressure from the west that will allow these winds to strengthen this morning and continue into the afternoon. It will be a factor that will make things feel a lot colder this morning and today. AND EVEN INTO TOMORROW. FROM SPRINGFIELD TOWARDS WESTERN WE HAVE A FEW STORMS. Otherwise, conditions are dry out there this morning. Watch for a few flakes as this blustery northwest wind picks up. IT ACTUALLY BECOMES STRONGER IN THE AFTERNOON. We will likely see wind gusts near 30 mph at times. THAT’S WHY OUR WIND COOL FACTOR IS ALREADY ABOUT TEN DEGREES BELOW THE ACTUAL TEMPERATURE. Reading it feels like being in your teens and afternoon highs in many places today. Near freezing and below it will still feel like it’s in the mid to upper teens as winds pick up. THIS MORNING THE CLOUDS ARE THERE BRINGING THIS CHANCE FOR A FEW FLAKES. NOTHING BIG REALLY, BUT YOU WILL SEE SOME STRETCHES OF SUN THIS AFTERNOON THAT INDICATE A VIEW FOR TONIGHT. Therefore, the best chance of seeing any type of snowflakes is in the first half of our day until around midday, especially as we move west. THEN we start to notice this clarifying effect and this causes our temperatures to drop quickly. TONIGHT WE’RE TALKING ABOUT SINGLE DIGIT LOWS NORTHWEST OF BOSTON OUT OF BOSTON SOUTHEAST IN THE LOWER TEENS, SO YOU’LL FEEL BELOW FREETH TOMORROW MORNING. WE’RE TALKING ABOUT A WIND COOL FACTOR IN BOSTON THAT’S DOWN TO TWO BELOW, BUT IN THE COLDEST PLACES IT COULD NEVER FEEL 8 NEVER AGAIN ON SUNDAY MORNING. AND WE’RE NOT TALKING ABOUT A BIG AFTERNOON WARM UP. Highs will be in the upper teens, and even though we’re holding on to the sun, it feels like it’s in the single digits. THERE IS A CHANCE OF SOME SNOW SHOWERS ACROSS CAPE COD TOMORROW. And I think that could swing towards the South Coast coast. It’s heading towards tomorrow evening early Monday. So be careful: IT COULD STILL FALL 5 INCHES OF SNOW BY MONDAY MORNING. AT THESE LOCATIONS. THEN WE WAIT FOR OUR NEXT STORM. IT IS THIS SYSTEM THAT IS MOVING IN FROM THE WEST AND THIS IS A SYSTEM THAT WILL BRING SOME SNOW CARS TO OUR AREA ON TUESDAY. On Christmas Eve, with the chance of light snow, many models got about an inch or two before we dried out and headed toward STA
