DAYS 1-5 (DECEMBER 14-18)
\nA weak disturbance will exit the region this morning after producing spotty light snow\/rain over southeastern MA and RI. A couple of arctic boundaries will cross southern New England from northwest to southeast during Thursday, possibly producing snow showers\/squalls. The main story will be the strong wind and bitterly cold air that moves in with these boundaries and continues through Friday, though the wind will drop off later Friday. The very progressive pattern will drive the next storm system into the region from the west early in the weekend, but its sprawling nature means it may take much of the weekend to get through here, bringing a transition out of the late-week cold to a milder spell, then back to cold at the very end, with a variety of weather during it all.
\nTODAY: Cloudiness decreases and sunshine develops after a little spotty light snow\/rain in eastern MA and RI early. Highs 38-45. Wind W 5-15 MPH
\nTONIGHT: Clear evening. Partly cloudy with isolated to scattered snow showers overnight. Lows 22-30. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
\nTHURSDAY: Sun and clouds. Isolated to scattered snow showers and snow squalls. Any squalls can contain briefly heavy snow and reduced visibility and produce minor accumulation and slippery travel. Highs 24-32 early, then falling temperatures. Wind W to NW 15-30 MPH with higher gusts.
\nTHURSDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Isolated to scattered snow showers and snow squalls. Lows 0-12. Wind NW 15-30 MPH with gusts over 40 MPH. Wind chill -10 to -25.
\nFRIDAY: Mostly sunny to partly cloudy. Isolated snow showers. Highs 14-21. Wind NW 15-30 MPH with higher gusts through early afternoon, diminishing later in the day. Wind chill often below 10.
\nSATURDAY: Clouding up early. Snow developing then transitioning to ice\/rain. Lows 10-18. Highs 35-42.
