Massachusetts – A sharp northwest wind slices through Boston this morning, pushing wind chills into the teens and leaving sidewalks stiff with frost. Temperatures hover near 26°F, and the air feels dry and biting across Suffolk County.
Skies turn mostly sunny later today, but highs only reach about 34°F. With lows dipping to 16°F tonight, any melted snow could refreeze quickly. This is prime flash-freeze season. Bridges along I-93 and the Mass Pike may turn slick after sunset.
Friday stays bright and cold, with highs near 36°F. Clouds increase Friday night, and a slight chance of snow showers develops after 2 a.m. The chance sits near 20%, but even light flakes can create patchy slick spots if temperatures hover near 20°F.
Valentine’s Day Saturday brings a slight chance of snow showers mixing with rain after late morning. Precipitation chances remain around 20%, and highs reach near 38°F. Any mix should taper by afternoon, leaving mostly sunny skies.
Sunday looks mostly sunny with a high near 38°F. However, another system approaches Sunday night. There’s a 30% chance of snow after 3 a.m., with lows near 26°F. That could impact the Monday morning commute if snow bands develop.
Early next week trends milder. Highs reach the upper 30s Monday and lower 40s Tuesday. The 6–10 day outlook favors above-normal temperatures across much of the East, hinting at gradual thaw and early spring vibes by midweek.
