Weather: My Chilly Valentine

My Chilly Valentine

Cold air will be ushered into our region in the wake of an intense storm moving away through the Maritimes. As this low departs, a slow-moving high pressure system will settle over the Northeast during Saturday and Sunday, bringing fair and much colder weather for the entire long weekend.

A gradual moderating trend will become evident by Tuesday, and a storm (most likely rain near the coast) will become a problem next week.

Today: Partly sunny and brisk with strong northwesterly winds. High 42°F (5°C)

Tonight: Clear and noticeably colder, with brisk breezes. Lows near 20°F (-6 to -7°C) by dawn.

Saturday: The cold embrace continues with chilly air and an icy breath of wind. In spite of bright sunshine, the highs will reach only about 34°F (1°C).

Saturday night: Cold and clear with diminishing winds. Low near 16F (-9°C)in town and in low teens (-10 to -11°C) in the suburbs.

Sunday outlook: Mostly sunny and cold, with highs about 36F (2C) and lows in low 20s (-4 to -6 C) by Monday morning.
