Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Massachusetts Weather Podcast. It's Thursday, February 26th.

Folks, grab your coffee and listen up. That little dusting overnight left a nasty calling card. Freezing fog and melting snow have glazed untreated surfaces. Take it slow through 9 A.M. Your brakes will thank you.

Now the real headline. Today feels like two completely different days stitched together. This afternoon? Gorgeous. Mostly sunny. The whole state lands right around 37 degrees. Enjoy every second of that sunshine.. Because tonight the trapdoor opens. We're talking a 25 degrees temperature plunge. Eastern Massachusetts crashes to 10 degrees overnight. Worcester and the Berkshires? Down to 7. Wind chills scraping 8 degrees by dawn. That's the kind of cold that stings your lungs on the first breath.

Friday morning will bite, but the sun fights back. Highs climb to the upper 30s statewide. Saturday is the real gem. Eastern Mass pushes 46 degrees. Drive out toward Springfield and you'll see 48. Nearly 10 degrees above normal for late February. Perfect for a long walk through the Common.

Then winter reminds us who's boss. A cold front barrels through Sunday morning dragging snow showers behind it. Monday's highs barely crack the mid 20s. Sunday and Monday nights? Single digits everywhere. Arctic air, no apologies.

Looking further out, Tuesday and Wednesday stay unsettled with a couple more snow chances. But temperatures gradually thaw back toward 40 degrees. The pattern is classic late winter.. Punching between warmth and cold like a boxer who can't decide which hand to throw.

One bright spot to carry with you. We're gaining nearly 3 minutes of daylight today. Sunrise at 6:26, sunset at 5:31. Spring equinox is just three weeks out.

Tonight's cold is no joke. Charge your phone, let that faucet drip. And throw an extra blanket on the bed.

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

Good evening! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Massachusetts Weather Podcast for Wednesday, February 25th.

Folks, that 12 degrees wake up call this morning? Brutal. The good news is we've clawed back to 36 degrees. The not so good news.. Tonight gets interesting.

A quick little snow maker slides through between 8 P.M. and 2 A.M. The Berkshires have front row seats. About a coin flip chance out there, with snow squalls that could drop a quick inch. Push east toward Worcester and the odds dip a bit. Along the coast? Boston, you're mostly watching this one go by. Warmer ocean air might even flip those flakes to rain near the shore.

Lows tonight tell the story of who gets what. The Berkshires drop to 23 degrees. Central Mass settles near 25. The coast hangs on to 29 degrees, just mild enough to keep things slushy.

Now Thursday morning. You open the curtains and sunshine hits you in the face. Highs push near 40 degrees under blue sky. That's a February gift. And I'd take it.

The week ahead has a real plot twist baked in. Friday stays sunny near 38 degrees. Saturday steals the show, climbing to 45, maybe 48 degrees. Warm enough to unzip the jacket and pretend spring is real. Then Sunday.. A cold front crashes the party with snow showers. And Monday? Arctic air drops highs into the mid 20s with overnight lows in the single digits. Winter's encore performance. Not ready for applause on that one.

One bright spot that nobody can take away from us. We're gaining almost three minutes of daylight every single day. Sunrise at 6:27, sunset at 5:29. The spring equinox is just three weeks out.

Charge up that phone tonight and keep a scraper in the car if you're west of Worcester.

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

Good afternoon! I'm Aaron Jolly. Welcome to the Massachusetts Weather Podcast for Wednesday, February 25th.

That snow hitting your windshield right now? That's a clipper system doing a quick drive by. We've already picked up a couple tenths of an inch. And there's more coming before this wraps up around 1 P.M.

Eastern Mass is catching the worst of it. One to three inches by midday. And south winds gusting to 26 miles an hour are blowing it sideways. The kind of snow that finds your collar no matter how tight you zip up. Highs reach 39 degrees.. Perfectly average for late February, which somehow feels disappointing.

Slide west on the Pike toward Worcester and the snow thins out. One to two inches possible before 1 P.M. Southwest gusts hit 25 miles an hour. Highs land at 37 degrees.

Now the Berkshires are playing a different game entirely. Mostly cloudy through the day with barely a flake. But tonight around 10 P.M.. That's when the snow sneaks in out west. Lows drop to 23 degrees.

Statewide tonight, scattered rain and snow showers hang around. Lows range from 23 to 29 degrees.

Thursday the sun comes back. Highs climb to 40 or 41 degrees. Enjoy that warmth because Thursday night gets nasty. The Berkshires plunge to 14 degrees. Boston holds near 20. That's a 25 degrees freefall in a few hours.

Looking ahead, Thursday and Friday stay quiet near 40 degrees. Saturday's the gem. Mid forties, your best day of the week. Grab lunch outside if you can. Then Sunday night.. An Arctic outbreak crashes the party. Monday's highs struggle to crack the mid twenties. Lows dip into single digits. Three weeks from the spring equinox and winter just called an audible.

Folks, keep those snow brushes in the car today. You'll need them.

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

Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly. Welcome to the Massachusetts Weather Podcast. It's Wednesday, February 25th.

Folks, it's 11 degrees outside right now. Your car hates you. But here's the twist.. Snow first, then a massive warmup. Buckle in.

Snow's already pushing into the Berkshires as of 5 A.M. Worcester gets hit around 6 A.M. Boston joins the party by 6 A.M. too, with the heaviest burst around 10 A.M. We're talking half an inch to an inch per hour. That's the kind of snow that turns your commute into a skating rink. Keep it slow out there.

Most of the state picks up 1 to 3 inches before it clears between 11 A.M. and 1 P.M. Quick and dirty. Now the Cape and Islands? You're getting rain instead. Lucky you.

The real story is what happens after. You're waking up to 12 degrees in Boston. Nine in Worcester. Nine in the Berkshires. Wind chill makes it feel like 4 degrees around 5 A.M. But by early afternoon.. Upper 30s statewide. That's a 25 degrees jump in about six hours. Your winter coat becomes optional by lunch.

Tonight settles into the mid 20s under cloudy skies. Nothing dramatic.

Thursday and Friday bring sunshine and highs in the mid to upper 30s. Right where late February should be. Then Saturday pushes into the mid 40s. That's the gem of the week. Enjoy every minute of it. Because Sunday flips the script. Arctic air crashes in. Monday's highs barely scratch the mid 20s with a chance of snow. Tuesday stays locked in the deep freeze near 30 degrees.

So today's game plan is simple. Survive the morning snow. Then watch the thermometer climb like it drank three espressos.

If this forecast helped you dodge a rough commute, leave us a quick rating. It takes ten seconds and keeps this thing going.

That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. Stay warm this morning, folks!

Good evening, folks! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Massachusetts Weather Podcast for Tuesday, February 24th.

Winter's got one more trick up its sleeve tonight. And you'll want to pay attention if you're heading out early tomorrow morning.

Step outside right now and you're feeling temperatures in the low 30s across most of the state. Boston's sitting at about 33 degrees, which honestly isn't terrible for late February. But don't let that fool you. Heading west toward Springfield and the Berkshires? You're seeing upper 20s. And wind chills are making it feel even more brutal than that.

Here's what's happening overnight. A quick-moving system is sliding through southern New England. And it's bringing a mix of light snow and freezing drizzle. The Cape and the Islands might see mostly rain, but inland? From Worcester on west, you've got a coating to maybe two inches of snow by dawn. Hidden black ice is going to be a real concern on those secondary roads, so if you're an early commuter, take it slow.

Here's where it gets interesting. Wednesday afternoon brings a nice little rebound. Temperatures should climb into the upper 30s, maybe even flirting with 40 in the Boston metro area. That February sun is getting stronger every day. And you can actually feel it now. Perfect for a lunchtime walk along the Esplanade if you can swing it.

Here's your heads-up for the week ahead. Thursday looks quiet and mild — low 40s, partly sunny. Enjoy it, because Friday into Saturday? A stronger storm system is building. And early models are hinting at a wicked significant snowfall. We're talking potentially six-plus inches for parts of the state. It's still a few days out, so the details will sharpen, but you'll want to keep your eye on that one.

One more thing — we're losing almost two and a half minutes of darkness every day now. Spring isn't here yet, but it's definitely packing its bags.

If you're heading out tonight. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. Take care. And

Good afternoon! I'm Aaron Jolly. Welcome to the Massachusetts Weather Podcast for Tuesday, February 24th.

Folks, that two inches of fresh snow from yesterday looks pretty in the sunshine. Enjoy the view.. Because this is the calm before round two.

Right now you're at 27 degrees. That's actually the high point. Eastern Mass tops out around 30 with a west wind gusting to 23 miles an hour. That wind cuts right through you. Drive west toward Worcester and you're sitting at 27 degrees. The Berkshires match that, with northwest gusts hitting 22 miles an hour. Eight degrees below normal for late February. Winter isn't done with us.

Tonight is where it gets brutal. Skies stay partly cloudy but temperatures nosedive. Eastern Mass drops to 12 degrees. Central and western areas? Nine degrees. Wind chills around midnight in central Mass make it feel like 9 degree. That's the kind of cold where your car door handle bites back.

Now here's the thing. Snow is already lining up for Wednesday morning. It sneaks into western Mass after 5 A.M. Central areas see it by 7 A.M. Or 8 A.M. Eastern Mass joins the party around 9 A.M. You're looking at two to four inches inland, one to three along the coast. By Wednesday afternoon, coastal spots could see that snow mix with rain.

The week ahead stays restless. Wednesday's snow clears, then another system rolls in Thursday into Friday with more white stuff possible. Highs bounce between the upper 30s and mid 40s. Saturday shapes up as the gem.. Mostly sunny, 43 to 45 degrees. Circle that one.

One more bit of good news. You're gaining almost three minutes of daylight today. Sunset at 5:28. The light is slowly winning.

Charge your phone tonight and scrape that windshield before bed. Future you'll be grateful at 6 A.M.

That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. Stay warm out there!

Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly. Welcome to the Massachusetts Weather Podcast. It's Tuesday, February 24th.

Folks, you woke up to nearly five inches of fresh snow from yesterday's storm. Beautiful to look at. Brutal to shovel. But the sun is coming out today.. At least for some of you.

Step outside in Eastern Massachusetts and you're getting a gorgeous winter postcard. Mostly sunny skies. Highs reaching 30 degrees around 2 PM. Not bad for late February. Now drive west on the Pike toward Worcester and Springfield. Temperatures top out at 27 degrees, closer to 3 PM. Three degrees doesn't sound like much, but the wind makes it feel like a different zip code out there.

Coastal folks, one quick note. Shallow flooding is possible around high tide this morning. Up to a foot of water in low lying spots. If your commute takes you near the shore, you'll want to plan around that.

Tonight the cold really bites. Eastern Massachusetts drops to 13 degrees by midnight. Feels like 7 with the wind. Head inland to Central and Western Mass and you're looking at 10 degrees. Wind chills? Down near 9 degree in Central Mass. Four degrees out west. Your car is going to protest tomorrow morning.

And speaking of tomorrow.. Here comes the plot twist. A warm front rolls in bringing snow first, then rain. Eastern Mass picks up 1 to 3 inches before it switches over. Central and Western Mass could see 2 to 4 inches that stays as snow longer. Highs climb into the upper 30s. Then another system lurks Thursday night into Friday with more snow possible.

The weekend though? That's your reward. Saturday pushes into the low 40s with sunshine. Something to look forward to after this week's gauntlet.

Oh. And sunrise today was 6:29 AM. Sunset at 5:28 PM. We're gaining almost three minutes of daylight every single day now. Spring is sneaking closer.

Keep your phone charged and your ice scraper handy tonight. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. Take care!

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.

Good afternoon! I'm Aaron Jolly. Welcome to the Massachusetts Weather Podcast for Monday, February 23rd.

Folks, if you're not already hunkered down.. You should be. This is a full blown blizzard. Three and a half inches fell overnight. Two and a half of that in just the last six hours. And the worst is still coming.

Eastern Mass is taking the hardest punch. Heavy snow keeps hammering through 8 PM tonight, peaking around 2 PM. You're looking at 9 to 13 inches on top of what's already down. Winds are screaming out of the north at 20 to 30 miles an hour. Gusts to 60 miles an hour. That's whiteout territory. That's branches snapping and power lines going dark. Highs barely scratch 31 degrees this afternoon, then you're plunging to 21 degrees by 7 AM Tuesday. Wind chills make it feel like 11 degrees.

And the coast? A Coastal Flood Advisory runs from 1 PM to 8 PM. High tide hits Nantucket Harbor at 3:32 PM. One to two feet of flooding in low lying areas. Ugly stuff.

Push west toward Worcester and central Mass. Three to seven inches with gusts to 47 miles an hour. Snow tapers by 7 PM, but blowing snow keeps visibility miserable. Highs struggle to 28 degrees, dropping to 18 degrees overnight.

Out in the Berkshires, you're seeing one to three inches. Snow wraps up by 5 PM, but gusts still hit 48 miles an hour. A Winter Storm Warning holds until 7 PM for higher elevations.

Now the week ahead tells a better story. Tuesday brings sunshine but brutal cold. Single digit lows, highs barely in the low 30s. Wednesday another round moves in. Rain and snow mix along the coast, highs near 39 degrees east, with fresh snow in the Berkshires. Thursday and Friday? Scattered rain and snow showers, but highs creep into the upper 30s. By Saturday.. 45 degrees in Boston. Almost feels like a reward.

Today is a stay home day. Keep those phones charged and the shovels close.

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

Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Massachusetts Weather Podcast. It's Monday, February 23rd.. And folks, this is a big one.

You're waking up to a nor'easter that means business. Nearly an inch already on the ground. And the heavy stuff hasn't even peaked yet. Whiteout conditions hit around 7 AM. Snow keeps falling through 10 PM tonight. This storm will be talked about.

Let me walk you through it. Eastern Massachusetts takes the hardest punch. Another 11 to 17 inches are coming. Winds are howling northeast at 29 miles an hour, gusting to 47. By afternoon, gusts could scream past 60 along the coast. Visibility drops to almost nothing. Highs barely touch 30 degrees around 5 AM, then temperatures actually fall through the day. Wind chills? Feeling like 10 degrees by afternoon. And tonight brings another 3 to 5 inches on top of everything.

Push west into central Massachusetts. You're seeing 10 to 16 inches with highs near 28 degrees around 5 PM. Wind chills feel like 8 degrees around 10 AM. Snow tapers by 6 PM, but blowing snow sticks around.

Western Massachusetts catches the lightest hit. Still 4 to 8 inches, though. Highs near 30 degrees around 5 PM. Winds shift northeast to north around 6 AM.

Now the coastal threat. Storm surges of 2 to 3 feet. Flood warnings through 7 AM. Plymouth County south through Cape Cod and the Islands could see roads underwater. If you're down there, you'll want to stay put.

This is the kind of storm where your phone dies in your pocket and tree limbs come down. Power outages are likely. Travel is dangerous, especially east of Worcester. Just don't.

The week ahead tells a better story. Tuesday brings sunshine and low 30s. Catch your breath. Wednesday another light snow sneaks in. Rain and snow mix lingers through Friday. Then temperatures climb into the 40s by Sunday.

I'll be tracking this all day. Charge your devices and fill some water bottles just in case.

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