The coldest of the final 3 days of the month will be Friday, and along with a gusty wind, it will feel even colder. Today we see a band of ocean-effect snow showers that can bring some minor accumulation to Outer Cape Cod while the rest of us can see a passing snow shower with a reinforcing arctic boundary passing by late in the day or early this evening. Dry conditions will persist Friday and Saturday, though like last Saturday, this one will also feature an increase in high cloudiness ahead of a storm system developing to our south. As far as the storm and its threat to us, the evolution and track of this one will be different from the previous one. Low pressure deepens and matures fairly rapidly in the ocean south of New England after giving significant snow to parts of the Southeast and southern Mid Atlantic. While it looks like this storm system&#8217;s low center is going to pass well southeast of our region, its large circulation is certainly going to have some impact in terms of wind and some snowfall. The strongest winds will most definitely occur over Cape Cod. The snowfall is still something I am in the process of figuring out and fine-tuning, and that will take a couple more days. As it stands now, the best chance of a significant snowfall on Sunday will be over southeastern MA including Cape Cod and the Islands, with chances dropping off fairly significant as you head northwest across the region. Behind this system comes dry weather for Monday, and this time the air mass will not be quite as cold as what we are enduring this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TODAY: Clouds and occasional snow showers Outer Cape Cod with up to 1 or 2 inches of accumulation. Sunny to partly cloudy elsewhere with a chance of snow showers west to east by late in the afternoon. Highs 16-23. Wind NW 10-20 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TONIGHT: Partly cloudy with a chance of snow showers early, then clearing. Lows -1 to +6. Wind NW 10-20 MPH, higher gusts. Wind chill below zero.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>FRIDAY: Sunny. Highs 15-22. Wind NW 10-20 MPH, higher gusts. Wind chill below 10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>FRIDAY NIGHT: Clear. Lows -5 to +2, colder pockets in valleys.

Wind N to NE 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SUNDAY: Cloudy. Snow likely coast \/ southeastern areas. Chance of snow elsewhere. Highs 18-25. Wind N to NE 15-25 MPH except 25-35 MPH with higher gusts southeastern MA, especially Cape Cod \/ Islands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SUNDAY NIGHT: Snow ends, sky clears. Lows 10-17. Wind N to NW 10-20 MPH, higher gusts especially coastal areas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MONDAY: Mostly sunny to partly cloudy. Highs 25-32.
