DAYS 1-5 (FEBRUARY 12-16)…
\nIt’s already pretty cold, especially in comparison to the way much of the winter has been to this point. And it’s going to get even colder, as a surge of pure Arctic air arrives for 2\/3 of the long weekend, which includes Valentines Day Sunday and Presidents Day Monday. Plan accordingly. \ud83d\ude42 The introduction to the coldest of the air will be marked by a wave of low pressure that passes just south of New England late tonight and brings snow of minor accumulation to far southeastern MA, especially Cape Cod. Additional snow showers may occur here through Saturday with a strong north wind and increasingly cold air. The actual arctic front will sweep through southeastern New England Saturday morning and midday, and may be accompanied by a snow shower or squall. After this front clears the region, the temperatures will drop and we’ll see a challenging of record lows Sunday morning and record cold high temperatures Sunday during the day, along with dangerously cold wind chill values Saturday night into Sunday. If you want to find a positive, it’s that this deep chill will not be hanging around, as the progressiveness of the pattern allows us to warm all the way back to the 20s Monday and further to the 40s Tuesday, during the passage of the next storm system, the center of which will likely cruise up the Hudson River Valley, turning any snow\/ice at the start of the system early Tuesday over to rain for the bulk of its occurrence.
\nTODAY: Mostly sunny. Clouds increase late. Highs 18-25. Wind W to SW 5-15 MPH.
\nTONIGHT: Clouding up. A period of snow southeastern MA with accumulation of 1\/2 to 2 inches possible. Lows 10-17. Wind light variable.

Highs 18-25 morning then falling back through the 10s. Wind chill below 0 by afternoon. Wind light SW to W early, then W to NW increasing to 15-30 MPH with higher gusts, shifting to N for a while later in the day.
\nSATURDAY NIGHT: Clear except clouds and snow showers possible Cape Cod. Bitter cold.. Lows -15 to -5 interior, -5 to +5 immediate coast. Wind N to NW 15-30 MPH with higher gusts. Wind chills as low as -25 to -30 at times.
