Good evening! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Massachusetts Weather Podcast for Monday, February 23rd.

Folks, this storm came to fight. And it's not done yet. Blizzard warnings hold for eastern Massachusetts until 7 A.M. Tomorrow. Gusts along the Cape and Nantucket are screaming past 70 miles an hour. That's whiteout territory. If you're anywhere near the coast tonight.. Stay put.

Let's start out east. Heavy snow and blowing snow keep hammering through 8 P.M. You could pick up another inch before winds shift northwest around 7 P.M. Temperatures sink to 21 degrees by 6 A.M. Feels like 11 with that wind. Coastal flooding is also a concern this evening. Nantucket and Cape Cod Bay could see a three to four foot storm surge. Tomorrow the sun comes back, but you're only hitting 31 degrees.

Slide west toward Worcester. The snow is lighter now but visibility is still ugly. Another inch or two before things quit around 9 P.M. Tonight drops to 18 degrees. Wind chills near 6 by morning. Tuesday brings sunshine and 28 degrees, though gusts to 22 miles an hour will steal any warmth.

The Berkshires dodged the worst of it. No new snow, just bitter wind and blowing powder. Tonight falls to 16 degrees. Wind chills near 4. Tomorrow you'll see sun and 27 degrees.

Now the week ahead tells an interesting story. Tuesday is your breather. Cold, sunny, quiet. Then Wednesday a new system rolls in with snow that could mix with rain along the coast. Highs climb toward the upper 30s. Thursday and Friday? We're tracking another potential storm. Could be snow, could be a wintry mix. Temperatures push into the low 40s. By Saturday, skies clear and highs flirt with 45 degrees. That's a 25 degree swing from where we sit tonight.

Charge those phones and keep the flashlights handy. Power outages are no joke with gusts like these.

That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.
