Massachusetts – A sharp February chill grips Boston this morning, with temperatures near 22 degrees under a pale winter sky. Wind chills hover close to 10 degrees, and the harbor air feels brisk against exposed skin. Roads remain dry for now, but the cold keeps pavement rigid and slick in shaded spots.
Highs climb to about 35 degrees this afternoon with steady sunshine. Northwest winds stay light at 3 to 6 mph, helping limit blowing snow concerns. However, a weak disturbance slides in after sunset. A slight chance of snow develops after 4 a.m., with lows dropping near 20 degrees. Even a light coating could create icy patches before the early commute, especially on I-93, Route 1 and untreated neighborhood roads.
Saturday turns mostly sunny with highs near 38 degrees. Saturday night falls to 19 degrees under mostly clear skies. Any melted moisture may refreeze, increasing the flash freeze risk typical in mid-February.
Sunday stays sunny but colder again, with highs around 34 degrees. Sunday night dips to 21 degrees under mostly cloudy skies. Washington’s Birthday brings partly sunny skies and a high near 39 degrees. Temperatures rebound into the mid-40s by Tuesday with mostly sunny skies.
Midweek trends milder with highs in the 40s and lower 50s possible. That aligns with a broader warming trend expected across much of the country heading into President’s Day Week, hinting at early spring vibes across southern New England.
