New England Braces for Blustery Tuesday with Wind Chills in 30s
New England is preparing for a blustery Tuesday, with significant wind chills expected. Wind gusts will consistently reach 20 to 30 mph, creating a colder feel across the region. Early morning temperatures in Southern New England will be in the low 40s, but wind chills may drop the perceived temperature to the low to mid-30s.
Wind Advisory Issued
A wind advisory is currently in effect for multiple areas, including:
- Boston and the rest of Massachusetts
- All of Rhode Island
- Maine
- Eastern New Hampshire
This advisory is active until early evening, with gusts potentially reaching as high as 40 to 50 mph in some areas.
Weather Conditions Across New England
The skies will generally be mostly sunny, particularly in Boston, which is expected to see higher sun levels with minimal cloud cover. Afternoon highs will hover in the mid-50s for Southern New England, though the wind will make it feel about 5 degrees cooler.
