After the latest winter storm pushed off the coast of New England, colder and drier conditions will dominate on Saturday, Feb. 26 as the high temperature struggles to reach the freezing mark with wind-chill values in the teens.
Sunday, Feb. 27 will be sunny with a high temperature in the low 40s, but wind-chill values between 15 and 25 degrees thanks to wind speeds in the teens and gusts as high as 25 miles per hour.
Snow showers and heavier squalls will be possible Sunday afternoon into the late evening as the cold front moving south from Canada arrives in the region.
"In addition to brief but intense snow, windy conditions are expected," the National Weather Service said. "Where these squalls occur, hazardous travel conditions are likely."
Motorists traveling throughout the Northeast on Sunday and Sunday evening should closely monitor the weather, according to AccuWeather.com, which noted that "during squalls, the blowing snow can dramatically reduce visibility and quickly result in slick conditions."
"Whiteout conditions from blowing snow can make driving nearly impossible," AccuWeather Meteorologist Thomas Geiger warned.
After the chance for snow showers and squalls ends late Sunday night, it will become partly cloudy overnight with the temperature falling to the mid to upper teens.
The outlook for Monday, Feb. 28 calls for sunny skies with a high temperature around 30 degrees.
