DAYS 1-5 (MARCH 3-7)
\nSurge 1 of much colder air arrived during Thursday and remains in place today. The powerful winds of Thursday have diminished to more typical winter winds although some stronger gusts will continue today. Arctic cold takes hold tonight and Saturday and the leading edge of this air mass may result in some snow showers\/squalls across the region this evening. A few isolated snow showers may follow that up as the second surge of cold moves in. Saturday will feature cold that will challenge some record low, and may also challenge some record low maximum temperatures. Boston’s record lowest high temperature for March 4 is 21 and it may struggle to reach or surpass this. The cold eases slightly on Sunday with less wind though it will still be quite cold to start with a slightly more moderate finish to the day. A warm front approaches Monday with clouds increasing, and this should lead to a much warmer day Tuesday with a few rain showers possible.
\nTODAY: Partly cloudy. Highs 30-38. Wind NW 5-15 MPH gusting around 25 MPH.
\nTONIGHT: Variably cloudy. Scattered snow showers and a risk of heavier snow squalls. Any of these can briefly reduce visibility to very low or nearly zero, and cause a quick coating of snow resulting in slippery travel. Lows 8-15. Wind NW 15-25 MPH with higher gusts. Wind chills fall below zero.
