=== NWS Regional Summary - 525 AM EST WED JAN 22 2003 ===
High pressure stretched from the arctic circle, through Canada, into the
plains states, eastward to the Atlantic and is spreading the coldest air in
several years toward southern New England. Temperatures and wind chill values
were similar or slightly warmer than the values of last Saturday morning but
the upcoming night promises to be several degrees colder. Gale force wind
gusts will continue through the day. Despite bright sunshine todays
temperatures will only rise a few degrees from the lows at daybreak. Winds
will slowly diminish later tonight, but even so, it will feel colder, under
mostly clear skies Thursday will continue very cold with plenty of sunshine to
start but flurries may develop in the afternoon in response to complex
pressure developments in the western Atlantic. Parts of coastal Massachusetts,
especially outer Cape Cod will probably have a more wintry feel as snow
squalls sweep southward off the ocean and onto Cape Cod. Several inches are
possible on the Cape. Even bostons north and south shores may pick up a
dusting. Interior sections will clear late Thursday night but increasing wind
will once again create bitterly cold wind chill values by dawn Friday, as an
intense ocean storm develops well to the east of New England. The cold wind
will continue through the day Friday then a slight warming trend arrives for
the weekend, as high pressure slides to the south of the region.
