The exiting storm has set up another blustery day across the region. The wind will be the biggest problem on Tuesday, with gusts consistently pushing to 20 and 30 mph, and even higher.
Out-the-door temperatures will be in the low 40s for most of Southern New England, but morning wind chills will be quite cold, feeling more like the low to mid-30s across the region, so you want to make sure you’re bundled up. A large pocket of high pressure to the southwest will help create a steep pressure gradient while funneling in cooler air.

A wind advisory is in effect into the early evening for Boston and the rest of Massachusetts, all of Rhode Island and Maine, and eastern New Hampshire.

Skies will be mostly sunny across Boston and the region throughout the day. Boston should see much more sun with a few high clouds possible at times. Ultimately, the thermometer will reach the mid-50s for most of Southern New England, but again it will feel about 5 degrees colder due to the wind.

You can see a few scattered showers pop up across the Northern New England mountains on Tuesday. Other than that, the skies will be mostly sunny up north.

Next rain (and snow?) chances
This week’s pattern will be quite active, with a zonal jet stream in place, stretching relatively flat across the country. This means that storms will move rather quickly across the country. New England will see its next system, an Alberta clipper, push into the region late Wednesday and linger into Thursday morning. Boston can expect a few light scattered showers and much stronger winds. This Alberta clipper, coming in from the Great Lakes and Central Canada, will make a quick exit by the time most of us get going for the day on Thursday.
Precipitation will be rather light with the storm, but there is a chance for a few backend snow showers to push across Northern New England with colder air in place. We’re not talking inches of snow here, not even an inch. But there might be a coating on the lawns and sidewalks in parts of extreme Northern New England by Thursday morning. A high wind alert has been issued for Wednesday night into early Thursday morning.
Southern and Coastal New England will only see light rain showers.
