A strong cold front will move through New England Wednesday. Winds will whip ahead of this front as a strong jet stream steers from above.
Gusts could top 45 mph at times, especially when the squall line moves through in the mid to late afternoon. Briefly torrential rain could accompany the storms (squalls) along with some pockets of hail. Isolated power outages are possible too.
The winds diminish, but the temperatures crumble late in the week. Highs will struggle to make 60 by Friday. But with a simple wind shift on Saturday, we’ll be back to near-summer conditions as highs soar to the 70s.
