Cloudy night time forward; Largely dry this weekend

IT? FREEZING. JUST A TAD FREEZING. HEY, TODAY MARKS A SPECIAL POINT BECAUSE TODAY WE BEGIN THE EARLIEST SUNSETS OF THE YEAR. THIS GOES ALL THE WAY UNTIL NEXT THURSDAY. THE SUNSET TONIGHT AND THROUGH NEXT THURSDAY IS AT 411. NOW, BY NEW YEAR’S DAY, WE COME BACK OUT OF THE CELLAR. IT’S AT 422, AND BY FEBRUARY 2ND, GROUNDHOG DAY, WE’RE BACK UP TO 5:00. SO THIS IS THE DARKEST WEEK OF THE YEAR. AS YOU LOOK OVER THE BOURNE ROTARY RIGHT NOW, AND IN BOSTON RIGHT NOW, IT’S 25 DEGREES. THE WIND AT LEAST IS NOT BAD. LAST NIGHT THAT WIND WAS HOWLING 40 AND 50 MILES AN HOUR, WHICH DROVE THAT WIND CHILL SO LOW LAST NIGHT. AND WHY IT WAS SO COLD. BUT THE WIND TONIGHT IS LOOKING MUCH GENTLER. SO WE’RE GOING TO SEE SOME CLOUDS COMING IN TONIGHT OVER THE NEXT 12 HOURS. SO NOT AS COLD TONIGHT AS WHAT IT WAS LAST NIGHT. AND THEN ON OUR RADAR, WE HAVE ANOTHER SHOT OF AN ARCTIC AIR MASS COMING IN ON MONDAY. SO REMEMBER WHAT WE DID LAST NIGHT. WE’RE GOING TO DO THE SAME THING ON SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY. SO AGAIN MONDAY LOOKING LIKE A VERY COLD DAY, KIND OF LIKE WE HAD TODAY. AND AS I LOOK AT THE WEEKEND, IT’S MOSTLY DRY. BUT TOMORROW WE COULD SEE A FEW RAIN OR SNOW SHOWERS OUT THERE. NOT LOOKING LIKE IT WILL AMOUNT TO ANYTHING, BUT JUST WANTED TO GIVE YOU A HEADS UP THAT THAT IS OUT THERE. SO WE’VE GOT A LOT OF CLOUDS THAT ARE KIND OF WORKING THEIR WAY IN, BUT THE RAIN, SNOW IS REALLY OFFSHORE AND ONCE THE SYSTEM GOES WAY OFFSHORE, IT PULLS MOST OF MOISTURE WITH IT. BUT THERE MAY BE JUST ENOUGH KIND OF HANGING AROUND THAT WE GET A FEW SNOW SHOWERS OR RAIN SHOWERS COMING IN TOMORROW. SO HERE’S THE MAP. TOMORROW MORNING, 8:00. NOTICE HOW THE RAIN AND SNOW IS WELL OFFSHORE. BUT WE ALSO HAVE THESE LITTLE BANDS THAT KIND OF DEVELOP OUT THERE. SO THAT WILL BE THE THREAT WITH US TOMORROW. AND THEN SUNDAY IS FAIRLY QUIET, SUNNY AND NOT TOO BAD ON THE TEMPERATURES. BUT BY SUNDAY NIGHT HERE COMES ANOTHER FRONT THROUGH. AND THAT ARCTIC FRONT MEANS A NEW BLAST OF COLD AIR COMING IN. AND OF COURSE, SUNDAY NIGHT, AS WE SAW LAST NIGHT, THERE MAY BE SOME SNOW SHOWERS OUT THERE WITH IT. AND THEN BEHIND IT, IT GETS REALLY COLD ON MONDAY. SO FOR TONIGHT WE HAVE INCREASING CLOUDS. NOT AS COLD TONIGHT AS LAST NIGHT. AND LIGHT WINDS. LOWS TONIGHT 12 TO 28 DEGREES. THAT’S STILL WAY BELOW AVERAGE. BUT IT’S A LITTLE BETTER THAN LAST NIGHT. AND THEN TOMORROW A MOSTLY CLOUDY DAY. NOW AS I MENTIONED, THERE MAY BE A FEW SNOW OR RAIN SHOWERS 36 TO 42 DEGREES FOR YOUR HIGH TEMPERATURE. SO HIGHS TOMORROW WILL LOOK LIKE THIS AS YOU GO OFF TO THE NORTHWEST. A LITTLE BIT COLDER, ESPECIALLY GETTING THAT SNOW PACK THAT’S OUT THERE, BUT TOWARD THE CAPE WITH SOME SUNSHINE COMING BACK. TEMPERATURES WILL BE LOW, 40S STILL COLD, BUT A LITTLE BIT BETTER THAN WE HAD TODAY. BUT LET ME TIME OUT THE SNOW THREAT FOR YOU AFTER MIDNIGHT TONIGHT. THERE’S A LOT OF CLOUDS OUT THERE. THERE MAY BE A FEW FLURRIES THAT KIND OF FLOW THROUGH. I DO THINK THE BEST CHANCE FOR SEEING SNOW WILL BE TOMORROW MORNING THROUGH THE MID AFTERNOON HOURS, ESPECIALLY OUT TOWARD THE WEST, BUT AGAIN, LIMITED, LIMITED MOISTURE. SO I’M NOT LOOKING FOR ACCUMULATION OUT OF THIS ONE. JUST A HEADS UP THAT THAT THREAT IS GOING TO BE OUT THERE. THIS IS AT NOON TOMORROW. NOW AFTER WE GET THROUGH NOON, THESE TEMPERATURES WARM UP ENOUGH SO THERE’S ENOUGH MOISTURE. IT WOULD TURN IT OVER TO A FEW RAIN SHOWERS AGAIN, ALL OF IT LIGHT STUFF. THE MOST YOU’RE GOING TO GET OUT OF THIS IS MAYBE A DUSTING AT BEST. AND THEN WE’LL CLEAR IT AWAY. AND THAT’S WHY YOUR SUNDAY LOOKING PRETTY NICE. ALL RIGHT, HERE’S WHAT IT LOOKS AT OVER THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS. TOMORROW A LOT OF CLOUDS, SPOTTY SHOWER, RAIN OR SNOW, 38 DEGREES IN THE AFTERNOON AND SUNDAY. NOT BAD 38 DEGREES. BUT LATE IN THE DAY THE CLOUDS THICKEN UP. AND THEN SUNDAY NIGHT, HERE COMES THAT ARCTIC FRONT ONCE AGAIN. SOME SNOW SHOWERS UNLEASHING SOME COLD AIR FOR YOUR MONDAY. MONDAY IS GOING TO BE A LOT LIKE TODAY. AND THEN ON TUESDAY WE’VE GOT SOME PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES COMING HERE. BUT LOOK AT THAT. WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY WE START TO WARM BACK UP, BUT BY THE TIME WE GET TO THURSDAY, THERE MIGHT BE ANOTHER CHANCE OF SEEING SOME RAIN OR SNOW IN THE FORECAST. NO BIG SNOW OR RAIN EVENTS IN HERE, BUT CERTAINLY A LOT OF COLD.
