A pure Arctic air mass arrives today with the passage of a cold front this afternoon. This front may produce snow squalls that can briefly reduce visibility and cover roadways with snow. It’s uncertain if everybody will see these or they will be more scattered in nature, but be prepared for sudden changes in visibility and road conditions if you will be driving. Before that arrives some moisture coming off the waters just south of New England may bring a few snow showers to Cape Cod and the Islands this morning. The core of the coldest air will pass through southeastern New England tonight and Thursday along with strong and gusty wind, with very low wind chills resulting. Protect yourself if you plan to be outside at all. A second disturbance and front will push through the region early Friday with another risk of snow showers and possible snow squalls. The push of cold air behind this will not be as strong as what comes just before it, but winds may end up stronger, so again it will be a low wind chill day. The cold continues but slowly eases during the course of the weekend and early next week. By Monday and Tuesday we’ll have to keep an eye on some offshore unsettled weather which will at least spread some cloudiness into the region and perhaps some light snow or mixed precipitation. The overall pattern is now cold and dry, however.<\/p>\n
