NOT IMPOSSIBLE. EXACTLY. MORE IMPORTANTLY, WE’RE TRACKING THESE SNOW SQUALLS RIGHT NOW, AND THESE ARE KIND OF LIKE THUNDERSTORMS IN THE SUMMERTIME. BRIEF BUT INTENSE. THESE SNOW SQUALL WARNINGS COMING OUT OF NEW YORK STATE, VERMONT, AND EVEN NORTHERN MAINE. THEY ARE ASSOCIATED WITH A FRONT THAT’S GOING TO BE DROPPING INTO OUR AREA. SO WE ARE WATCHING FOR THAT A LITTLE LATER ON THIS MORNING. AS THAT FRONT COMES THROUGH, IT’S GOING TO KICK UP THE WINDS. LOOK AT THIS. BY NOONTIME WE’RE GOING TO BE GUSTING NEAR 40MPH IN BOSTON. AND IN THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS WE COULD GUST TO 50MPH. SO THERE ARE WIND ADVISORIES UP FOR THE WORCESTER HILLS AND THE BERKSHIRES. THESE WINDS RAMP UP THIS MORNING AND THEY’RE GOING TO BE STRONGEST THROUGH MIDDAY BEFORE THEY BACK OFF THIS AFTERNOON. SO WE’VE GOT THE WIND TODAY AND WE’VE GOT THAT RISK OF A SNOW SHOWER OR SQUALL COMING THROUGH THIS MORNING. AND THEN TONIGHT ANOTHER ROUND OF SNOW THAT COULD MAKE TOMORROW MORNING’S COMMUTE A LITTLE BIT SLICK BEHIND THAT SYSTEM. WE’VE GOT A QUICK SHOT OF ARCTIC AIR COMING IN ON THURSDAY. SO A LOT OF CHANGES IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. IT’S FAIRLY MILD THIS MORNING, THOUGH. WE’RE NEAR AND ABOVE FREEZING. BUT TO THE NORTH YOU CAN SEE HOW THE TEMPERATURES DROPPING INTO THE SINGLE DIGITS, THAT’S THAT POTENT FRONTAL BOUNDARY THAT IS IGNITING THOSE SNOW SHOWERS AND SQUALLS THIS MORNING. AND THAT’S WHAT’S GOING TO BE DROPPING THROUGH OUR AREA. YOU CAN KIND OF FOLLOW THE FRONT FARTHER WEST, AND THERE IS AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE RIDING THIS FRONT. IT IS GOING TO CRUISE INTO OUR AREA, PASSING THROUGH VERY QUICKLY TONIGHT. AND AS IT COMES THROUGH, IT’S GOING TO BRING THAT ROUND OF SNOW TONIGHT. SO WE’RE IN A FAST PATTERN RIGHT NOW. YOU CAN SEE THERE ARE SOME CLOUDS OVERHEAD THOUGH THIS MORNING. WE’RE WAITING FOR THOSE SNOW SHOWERS AND SQUALLS TO COME THROUGH OUR WINDOW IS THROUGH ABOUT 10 A.M. THEREAFTER. SKIES ARE GOING TO BRIGHTEN UP FOR YOU. IT’S A LOT OF SUNSHINE THIS AFTERNOON, BUT LOOK, TEMPERATURES WARMER AT 10 A.M. THAN IT IS AT 4 P.M. SO OUR HIGH TEMPERATURES OCCUR THIS MORNING THROUGH MIDDAY. AND THEN ONCE THAT FRONT GOES THROUGH, THE TEMPERATURES ARE GOING TO DROP A LITTLE BIT AND THAT WIND WILL MAKE IT FEEL A LITTLE BIT COLDER. TAKE A LOOK AT 7 A.M. HERE COMES THAT LINE. WHAT IS LEFT OF IT? OF THOSE SNOW SHOWERS AND SQUALLS COMING INTO THE BERKSHIRES AT 7 A.M. IF WE’RE GOING TO GET THEM, I THINK THE BEST CHANCE OF SEEING A SNOW SQUALL IS GOING TO BE OUT THROUGH WORCESTER COUNTY AND THE MERRIMACK VALLEY AROUND 8:00 IN THE MORNING BY 9:10 A.M., THAT LINE IS WEAKENING AS IT DROPS DOWN TOWARD THE COASTLINE, AND WE’VE GOT SUNSHINE AS WE GO THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. NOW, I DID WANT TO LET YOU KNOW WE’VE GOT THAT SNOW COMING THROUGH TONIGHT. I SKIPPED THROUGH ON THE TIMELINE HERE. LET ME JUST BACK UP AND SHOW YOU. IT COMES IN AROUND 11 P.M. OR SO TONIGHT, AND IT’S GOING TO SNOW BRIEFLY. PRETTY GOOD IN THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. BUT BY SUNRISE TOMORROW MORNING IT’S KICKING ON OUT. SO BASICALLY 11 P.M. THROUGH SUNRISE. THAT IS HOW WE ACCUMULATE 1 TO 2IN WITH LOCALIZED AMOUNTS UP TO THREE NEAR AND NORTH OF THE PIKE. LESSER AMOUNTS IN SOUTHEASTERN MOST MASSACHUSETTS TEENS TO AROUND 20 DEGREES TONIGHT. TOMORROW WE BOUNCE BACK UP NEAR 40, AND LATE IN THE DAY WE’RE GOING TO WATCH FOR AN ADDITIONAL RAIN OR SNOW SHOWER OR SQUALL. THIS COULD IMPACT THE EVENING COMMUTE. IT’S ALL ASSOCIATED WITH THAT FRONT CUTTING ON THROUGH BEHIND IT. WE ARE IN ARCTIC AIR BRIEFLY FOR ONE DAY ON THURSDAY. LOOK AT THESE WIND CHILLS COMING UP ON THURSDAY MORNING. IT’S GOING TO FEEL LIKE IT IS BELOW ZERO. AND THEN JUST LIKE THAT, WE SHAKE IT OFF AND WE’RE BACK IN THE 40S ON FRIDAY. COULD BE A LITTLE BIT OF RAIN OR MIX COMING THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY, AND THEN IT SHOULD BE DRIER FOR THE REST OF THE WEEKEND. SO RAPID CHANGES HERE UP AND DOWN. YEAH, PRETTY ACTIVE, BUT JUST WATCH OUT FOR THOSE SNOW SQUALLS THIS MORNING. THEY CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS WHEN YOU’RE
