Ice and whipping winds – Boston Information, Climate, Sports activities

After a soggy 36 hour interval this weekend of snow, sleet, freezing rain and rain, temperatures plunged in a single day and froze all of that slush and water in place. Watch out this morning as black ice is probably going, particularly on aspect roads which will have much less residual salt or sidewalks that many not have any salt on them in any respect.

The wind has been sturdy in a single day and this morning with wind gusts within the 40s and even some stories over 50 mph. The wind will get even stronger by the daylight at the moment.

We’ve a excessive wind warning in impact for a lot of Massachusetts and southern New Hampshire for wind gusts that might exceed 60 mph at the moment. There’s a wind advisory in impact for Plymouth and Bristol counties, and the Cape/Islands. One of these wind pace alone can be adequate to trigger some injury, particularly within the excessive wind warning, however the added downside could also be somewhat left over ice or crusty snow caught to the tree limbs and energy traces. That added little little bit of weight will go a alongside approach along with any such wind.

The excessive wind warning and wind advisory go till 1am Tuesday morning (in a single day tonight) however I think at that time we’ll all go below a wind advisory for the wind that stays with us in a single day and thru the day on Tuesday. The wind tomorrow shall be one notch down from at the moment, however I believe nonetheless sturdy sufficient the place we’re prone to see a wind advisory for a similar energy/tree injury issues.

Temperatures this afternoon will keep within the 20s however that gusty wind will make it really feel nearer to 10°. Tonight is way the identical as in a single day lows will fall to the decrease teenagers and looks like temperatures that drop under zero by tomorrow morning.

There’s additionally been fairly a little bit of chatter concerning the snow potential on Thursday. And final week it appeared like that storm had some severe potential, however over the past 24-48 hours, the development of this storm has been considerably farther south, preserving essentially the most snow and impacts off shore. Be mindful this storm remains to be 4 days away however as of at the moment it seems to be like this may simply be a brush by us. It’s principally an ocean storm with just a few snow showers which will graze us — primarily the Cape and Islands, maybe southeastern Massachusetts; however you see how shut the heavy snow is. It’s a matter of miles and a development that retains going south might pull any probability of snow for all of us, however a slight development again north would do the alternative. Proper now it’s a “keep tuned” kind storm and, in the intervening time, no must trigger any panic or concern.
