How Cold Does It Get In Boston MA – NBC Boston

Cold temperatures are in focus for the next few days. Although this patch of cold air is part of the polar vortex, it’s not going to hang over us forever, and it looks like it won’t compete with the cold we saw almost two years ago when we hit ten during in Boston on February 4. .

How cold does it get in New England?

But it’s no picnic either. Temperatures will top out near 20 degrees on Monday, not hitting the upper teens until Tuesday. This is after morning low temperatures in the single digits.

The wind won’t be a big factor, but any steady breeze will cut right to the bone as wind chills drop into the single digits and teenagers below zero at times. Fortunately, there is hardly any wind on Tuesday, as high pressure ridges just overhead. The wind turns to the southwest on Thursday, bringing in some “milder” air. We should be near freezing in most places.

Storm chances are quiet so far

The storm will stay away for the next few days. We will see a close brush with an offshore storm this evening bringing some light snow and flakes to the Outer Cape and Nantucket.

There could be enough for a coating of snow in those places, but otherwise we will only see an increase in clouds on Monday. Bright sunshine returns on Tuesday, with slightly more cloud on Thursday.

Stay warm!
