Well, for starters, it’s going to be a cold start that will wake you up as you head out the door. Temperatures will run between 5 and 10 degrees below average to start the day. Then add in a slight morning breeze, and you’re looking at wind chills in the teens for your commute to work across Boston, and even colder up north.
Wind chills on Wednesday morning will be in the low teens and single digits.Boston Globe
You’ll see mostly sunny skies throughout the day, which will allow us to feel the high sun angle as temperatures slowly build to the mid and upper 30s across Boston and Southern New England. Winds should relax as the day goes on, and even though the air will be cold, you’ll feel the warmth from the sun angle if you’re outside for lunch.
Highs on Wednesday may only reach the upper 30s across Greater Boston.Boston Globe
High pressure will slide across Southern New England throughout the day on Wednesday, setting up mostly sunny skies with a few thin clouds floating about across the region.

There should be partly to mostly clear skies on Wednesday night, which will give you the chance to catch the Northern Lights, should they appear across Northern New England. But bundle up if you go out “Aurora hunting” because temperatures will slip back to the teens and low 20s north of Massachusetts.
For folks around Greater Boston who will give it a try on Wednesday night, expect temperatures below freezing after 8 p.m. Hopefully, the northern lights will appear south enough!

Tracking our next weathermaker — snow coming to the region?
Ski country may be in for a late-season treat with our next system inbound Friday night into Saturday morning, wielding accumulating snow.
This storm is days away and will change, but as of now, it looks like a quick shot of snow to the north and rain for the south and coast is most probable. Rain and snow totals should be minimal, but if I had to put totals out there now, I’d say folks across Northern New England may pick up 2 to 4 inches, while a coating to an inch is possible north of Route 2 in Mass.
Greater Boston should see a brief stint of wintry mix before switching completely to rain.
A storm may bring accumulating snow to Northern New England late Friday into Saturday.Boston Globe
