Dangerously cold wind chills continue across Southern New England and extreme cold temperatures through late Thursday Morning. Wind Chill Advisories and Warnings are in effect for much of the NWS Taunton coverage area away from the islands. It is also noted that Wind Chill Advisories and Warnings extend up into New Hampshire as well. Low Temperatures without the wind chill have been below zero across much of the interior with temperatures around zero and a few single digits above zero in Southeast New England.

As we get into late Thursday Night through Friday Afternoon, strong to damaging winds could occur across portions of Eastern New England. A High Wind Warning is now in effect for Cape Cod and the Islands from 5 AM-4 PM Friday for sustained winds of 25-35 MPH with gusts to 60-65 MPH. A High Wind Watch remains in effect for Southern Bristol and Southern Plymouth Counties of Massachusetts for late Thursday Night through Friday Afternoon for sustained winds 25-35 MPH with gusts to 60 MPH possible. These winds can cause scattered pockets of tree and wire damage and power outages. Wind Advisories may be required for other parts of Eastern New England.

With the strong to damaging wind potential, the potential exists for a period of light to possibly even moderate snow. Snow accumulations of a coating to 2 inches with isolated 3″ amounts are possible in portions of Southern New England. This could occur near and during the Friday Morning commute. This will be better defined in future coordination messages.

SKYWARN Self-Activation is likely late Thursday Night through Friday Afternoon for the strong to damaging wind potential and light snowfall event. Ops at NWS Taunton are also possible. The next coordination message will be sent by 11 PM Thursday.
