6:17 pm
the south and east. it's all leveled out and everybody has a northwest wind. but tomorrow, wind will come a little bit more straight from the north. so if we take a look in that direction, we see ottawa is now down to 19 degrees. so there is somewhat colder air on the way. nothing like the weekend, thank goodness but you will feel the change compared to today. boston will start out in the mid to upper 20's. starting out around 20 in worcester and 19 in orange and it will be a cold northerly wind as well. the wind will be a little gustier along the coast than it will be over the interior. these high temperatures are down quite a bit, from the readings of today. but high pressure will build in tomorrow. the only thing is with that northerly wind, you can pick up some cloudiness along the coast, particularly on the cape where there could be some snow showers. high pressure to start the day on friday. it will be very still, clear, calm, and cold. even a few single digits in the coldest spots. then we'll move up into the 30's. then we have a warm front which
6:18 pm
the end of the day on friday. tomorrow, i mentioned the clouds, a few snow showers may come close to or nick cape. then we're completely clear tomorrow night and early friday. as i mentioned, by the end of friday clouds are coming in the from the west. why expect that to do a whole lot around here on friday. because, i expect snow across northern new england. we could get a mix later on friday night. maybe north of the pike. a little mix or coating or something. i'm not expecting much at all. now this front will then come through region sometime on saturday. might be a spot rain shower because ahead of that we'll be mild with a west-southwest wind. up around 50 but that will probably be the mildest day of the next seven. because we'll turn a little bit chillier on sunday. later sunday night and monarchs small system comes through. could give us a couple of inches of snow, from the border northward. roughly. we'll see how that plays out.
6:19 pm
something more significant looks like it wants to happen along the middle of next week. here's the deal. we're going to have a storm come up the coast and bump into colder air that will be established that usually means snow but does it stay snow? if the track stays offshore the wind will stay more from the north. it will be a snow or icy mix but if the storm hugs the coast, somewhat mild's air will probably turn to it rain, maybe an icy mix inland. it's way too early to get into the specifics but di want to give you an idea that there is a lot of potential for something significant to happen centered on the middle of next week. again, we have a long way to go between now and then and we have a fair amount of decent weather to enjoy along the way. i'll be looking at late information. i'll see you again next hour.
