Midweek Cold Front to Bring Damaging Winds Before Stronger Weekend Chill

Forecasters highlight a short-lived wind hazard Wednesday night that gives way to a sharper late‑weekend cooldown with uncertain wintry impacts.

Overview

  • A broad dome of high pressure continues to deliver unseasonably warm, mostly dry weather in many regions, with New Mexico near record highs and parts of the South and Mid-Atlantic in the 60s to 70s.
  • National Weather Service alerts call for a very windy period Wednesday night into Thursday, with coastal New England gusts potentially reaching 60 mph and a risk of tree damage and isolated power outages.
  • A fast-moving cold front will bring increasing clouds and brief, mainly light showers late Wednesday into Wednesday night in several markets before skies clear again Thursday.
  • Astronomically high tides tied to the midweek supermoon are expected to produce localized coastal flooding in the Boston area, including possible closures on prone roadways such as Morrissey Boulevard.
  • Forecast models point to a stronger front late Sunday that should drop temperatures sharply and may introduce the season’s first rain-to-snow or mixed precipitation in parts of the Great Lakes and Northeast, though the track and local impacts remain uncertain.
