    Blizzard Warning | Massachusetts Weather 6 AM
    Feb 23 2026
    Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Massachusetts Weather Podcast. It's Monday, February 23rd.. And folks, this is a big one. You're waking up to a nor'easter that means business. Nearly an inch already on the ground. And the heavy stuff hasn't even peaked yet. Whiteout conditions hit around 7 AM. Snow keeps falling through 10 PM tonight. This storm will be talked about. Let me walk you through it. Eastern Massachusetts takes the hardest punch. Another 11 to 17 inches are coming. Winds are howling northeast at 29 miles an hour, gusting to 47. By afternoon, gusts could scream past 60 along the coast. Visibility drops to almost nothing. Highs barely touch 30 degrees around 5 AM, then temperatures actually fall through the day. Wind chills? Feeling like 10 degrees by afternoon. And tonight brings another 3 to 5 inches on top of everything. Push west into central Massachusetts. You're seeing 10 to 16 inches with highs near 28 degrees around 5 PM. Wind chills feel like 8 degrees around 10 AM. Snow tapers by 6 PM, but blowing snow sticks around. Western Massachusetts catches the lightest hit. Still 4 to 8 inches, though. Highs near 30 degrees around 5 PM. Winds shift northeast to north around 6 AM. Now the coastal threat. Storm surges of 2 to 3 feet. Flood warnings through 7 AM. Plymouth County south through Cape Cod and the Islands could see roads underwater. If you're down there, you'll want to stay put. This is the kind of storm where your phone dies in your pocket and tree limbs come down. Power outages are likely. Travel is dangerous, especially east of Worcester. Just don't. The week ahead tells a better story. Tuesday brings sunshine and low 30s. Catch your breath. Wednesday another light snow sneaks in. Rain and snow mix lingers through Friday. Then temperatures climb into the 40s by Sunday. I'll be tracking this all day. Charge your devices and fill some water bottles just in case. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. Take care!

    Massachusetts Weather: 02-22-2026
    Feb 22 2026
    Good evening! I'm Aaron Jolly. And this is the Massachusetts Weather Podcast for Sunday, February 22nd. Folks, I'm not going to sugarcoat this. A historic blizzard is bearing down on us tonight. And the National Weather Service is calling it extreme to destructive. This is the real deal. Light snow starts between 7 and 11 P.M. Tonight. By midnight, snow rates explode to 2 to 4 inches per hour. That's when blizzard conditions lock in along the coast. Winds will scream at 55 to 75 miles an hour. Visibility drops to nothing. The storm's peak hits Monday morning, 3 A.M. Through noon. A pivoting snow band parks over southeastern Massachusetts, dumping 2 to 3 inches per hour. Boston and the eastern half? You're looking at 18 to 24 inches. Some spots southeast of the city could see 30 inches. Push west toward Worcester. You're still catching 10 to 16 inches, heaviest between 4 A.M. And 10 A.M. Monday. Gusts to 50 miles an hour will drift that snow into walls. Out in the Berkshires, the storm peaks around 1 A.M. Monday. Eight to 14 inches with 40 to 50 mile an hour gusts. You're on the edge, but travel will still be impossible. Now Cape Cod and the Islands. This is where it gets terrifying. Hurricane force gusts to 80 miles an hour. Storm surge up to 4 feet floods Nantucket Harbor between 2 and 5 A.M. Extensive tree damage and widespread power outages are coming. Snow finally tapers west to east Monday afternoon, ending by 7 P.M. In the southeast. Looking past the storm, Tuesday brings bitter cold and sunshine. Highs barely crack the low 30s. Wednesday sneaks in another 1 to 3 inches of light snow. Thursday and Friday slowly warm into the upper 30s. Saturday finally delivers sunny skies and low 40s. That's your digging out day. Tonight, charge everything. Fill your bathtubs. Don't drive Monday morning. This storm means it. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. Take care of each other tonight.

    Good afternoon! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Massachusetts Weather Podcast. It's Sunday, February 22nd. Folks, I'm not going to sugarcoat this. A monster nor'easter is barreling toward us. And by tonight, it turns into a full blown blizzard. Right now it's quiet. Enjoy these last few calm hours. Snow starts between 7 and 10 tonight. Light at first. Then it goes absolutely berserk. Snowfall rates hit 2 to 4 inches per hour overnight. The worst window is midnight through 8 A.M. Monday. Winds shift northeast and crank to 50 miles an hour inland. Out on the Cape and Islands? Gusts to 70 miles an hour. That's hurricane territory. Let's talk totals. Down in eastern Mass, you're staring at 1 to 2 feet. Three to 5 inches tonight, then another 11 to 17 inches Monday. Today's high hits 37 degrees, but Monday barely scrapes 33 with wind chills around 15. Coastal flooding is likely near the 1 A.M. High tide. Storm surge pushes water 2 to 3 feet above normal. Nantucket Harbor and parts of Cape Cod could see roads underwater. Push west toward Worcester and central Mass. You're looking at 15 to 23 inches total. Today tops out at 34 degrees. Monday? Just 29 with wind chills near 10. Whiteout conditions are real. Over in the Berkshires and western Mass, you'll see 8 to 16 inches. Highs today reach 36 degrees. Winds still gust to 55 miles an hour up in those hills. Travel will be nearly impossible overnight into Monday. Power outages are likely east of I-90. If you're in the Blizzard Warning zone, stay put. Looking beyond this beast, the storm clears Tuesday morning. Bitter cold settles in with lows near 10 to 14 degrees. Then a fast rebound. Wednesday climbs to the upper 30s. Thursday touches 40. A light snow or rain chance Wednesday night, but nothing like tonight. By Saturday, low 40s return. One bright spot. We gained nearly 3 minutes of daylight today. You'll need every second of it for shoveling. Charge your devices. Fill a thermos. Check on your neighbors tomorrow morning. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. Take care!

    Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly, and welcome to the Massachusetts Weather Podcast. It's Sunday, February 22nd, and folks, we need to talk. A monster nor'easter is barreling toward us, and this one means business. Right now you're seeing just a dusting outside. Three tenths of an inch. Don't let that fool you. By tonight, this storm transforms into a full blown blizzard across much of the state. Here's the timing you'll want to burn into your brain. Snow starts around 7 PM out in the Berkshires. Central Mass, you're next by 8 PM. The coast gets it by 9 or 10 PM. Then between midnight and 8 AM Monday? That's when it gets brutal. Two to three inches per hour. Near zero visibility. Travel becomes flat out impossible. Let's talk totals. Worcester, you're staring down 15 to 20 inches by Monday night. Boston picks up 11 to 17 inches total. Western Mass catches a relative break at 8 to 16 inches. Wind gusts hit 47 miles an hour inland. On the Cape and Islands? Up to 70 miles an hour. That's enough to snap trees and kill power for days. Coastal flooding adds another layer of danger. High tide rolls in around 2 AM Monday, pushing a 2 to 3 foot storm surge into Plymouth, Cape Cod, and Nantucket. If you're near the water, move your car to higher ground before tonight. Pack an emergency kit now. Blankets, water, flashlight, food. Power outages are almost guaranteed east of I 495. If you don't absolutely have to drive tonight or Monday, just don't. Looking at the rest of the week, Tuesday brings a breather with sunshine and low 30s. Wednesday sneaks in another 1 to 3 inches of light snow. Thursday warms to 40 degrees with a rain snow mix. By Saturday you're looking at partly sunny skies near 42 degrees. The storm passes, but Monday will test us first. One quick thing. If this podcast keeps you prepared for days like today, share it with someone who needs it. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. Take care, and please stay put tonight if you can.

    Good evening! I'm Aaron Jolly, and welcome to the Massachusetts Weather Podcast. It's Saturday, February 21st. Folks, here's the deal. A monster nor'easter is bearing down on us, and it means business. But tonight? Tonight's the calm before the chaos. Enjoy it. We picked up about 2 inches of snow overnight. Pretty stuff. Step outside right now and you'll feel mid 30s. Pleasant enough. That changes fast. Down along the coast in eastern Massachusetts, you're sitting near 34 degrees this afternoon under partly sunny skies. Soak that in. By 4 A.M. Sunday, temps drop to 21 degrees. Then the hammer falls. Sunday afternoon, snow starts. Sunday night? Blizzard. The National Weather Service has issued a Blizzard Warning for eastern Massachusetts, including Boston. We're talking 1 to 2 feet of snow. Wind gusts up to 70 miles an hour. Whiteout conditions. Travel becomes nearly impossible. Coastal flooding of 9 degrees to 9 degrees feet hits low lying areas near Nantucket Harbor between 9 degrees and 7 A.M. Monday. Boston sees a 10.4 foot high tide at 9 degrees:26 A.M. Sunday, making things worse. Head inland to central Massachusetts. Highs near 35 degrees today, lows around 20 tonight. Sunday brings heavy snow. You're looking at 16 to 26 inches total through Monday. Power outages are likely as wet, heavy snow snaps branches and drops lines. Out in western Massachusetts, you've got the warmest day at 41 degrees. Three degrees above normal. Rain transitions to snow after 8 P.M. tonight. By Monday, 12 to 20 inches pile up. The Berkshires could see blizzard conditions at higher elevations. Here's what's coming this week. Tuesday we dig out under partly sunny skies, highs near 33 degrees. Wednesday brings a chance of light snow. Thursday warms to 42 degrees, but rain and snow mix returns Friday. The pattern stays active. You'll want to prepare tonight. Stock up, charge devices, and plan to stay off the roads Sunday night through Monday. This storm demands respect. One more thing. If this podcast helps you stay ahead of storms like this, share it with a neighbor. We all need a heads up for this one. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. Stay safe out there, folks.

    Good evening! I'm Aaron Jolly, and welcome to the Massachusetts Weather Podcast. It's Saturday, February 21st, and folks, we need to talk. A monster is coming. Right now things feel deceptively calm. We picked up about two inches of snow in the last day. The flakes stopped. You might think winter's taking a breather. It's not. It's loading the cannon. Here's the deal. A bomb cyclone is spinning up off the Mid Atlantic coast. By Sunday night, it slams into us with everything it's got. Heavy snow. Hurricane force wind gusts. Coastal flooding. This is the real thing. Today you're seeing highs near 34 degrees in Eastern Mass. Head out to Pittsfield and you'll hit 41 degrees this afternoon. Enjoy that warmth. It vanishes tonight. By 4 A.M. Sunday, temperatures crash into the low 20s. Wind chills drop near 15 degrees. Now here's where it gets serious. Sunday afternoon, light snow begins. By Sunday night, the beast arrives. Boston could see 13 to 19 inches by Monday evening. Wind gusts of 55 to 70 miles an hour. That's tree snapping, power line dropping wind. Blizzard warnings are already up east of Worcester. Nantucket faces gusts up to 70 miles an hour. Storm surge of 9 degrees to 9 degrees feet hits at high tide early Monday morning. Plymouth down through the Cape and Islands could flood. If you're near the shore, move your car to higher ground tonight. Worcester and Framingham? You're looking at 12 to 18 inches with near whiteout conditions Monday. Even the Berkshires catch 9 to 13 inches. Snow falls at 2 to 4 inches per hour at peak. That buries cars fast. Here's what's coming after. Tuesday clears out but stays brutal cold. Single digits overnight. Wednesday drops another 3 to 5 inches. Then Thursday warms into the low 40s with a rain snow mix. Winter's not done yet. Charge your devices tonight. Stock up tomorrow morning. Monday, stay home if you can. One more thing. If this podcast helps you prepare, share it with a neighbor. Storms like this are better faced together. Stay safe out there, folks. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

    Massachusetts Weather: 02-21-2026
    Feb 21 2026
    Good afternoon! I'm Aaron Jolly, and welcome to the Massachusetts Weather Podcast. It's Saturday, February 22nd. Folks, here's the deal. Western Mass is running away with the warmth today. Pittsfield's sitting pretty at 41 degrees. That's practically spring out there. Meanwhile, Boston's stuck at 34. Seven degrees mightn't sound like much, but it's the difference between a pleasant walk and zipping that jacket all the way up. Let's take a drive across the state. Start on the coast. Eastern Mass holds at 34 degrees with light north winds. A stray flurry might drift through, but nothing's sticking. High tide hits at 1:49 this afternoon, pushing 10 feet. If you're near the harbor, watch for splash over along the seawall. Tonight drops to 28 degrees. Your windshield's gonna need a scrape tomorrow morning. Head west on the Pike toward Worcester. Central Mass reads 35 degrees under light northeast breezes. Mostly dry skies with maybe a rogue flurry. Overnight temps hold in the low 30s. Not bad at all. Keep driving into the Berkshires and you'll feel it. Western Mass leads the pack at 41 degrees. Light winds, clear skies, a genuinely crisp and pleasant February afternoon. Lows settle right near freezing tonight. Here's your heads up for the week ahead. Sunday cools things down. Highs drop back to the low 30s statewide. Monday and Tuesday stay chilly with a chance of light snow showers. Then midweek brings a rebound into the upper 30s. And here's something to smile about. We've gained nearly three minutes of daylight since yesterday. The sun's clawing back territory. Air quality is excellent today, so if you're heading outside, breathe deep. One more thing. If you're enjoying these daily updates, share us with a friend. It really does help. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. Stay safe out there!

    Feb 21 2026
    Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly, and welcome to the Massachusetts Weather Podcast. It's Saturday, February 17th. Folks, step outside and you'll feel 25 degrees smack you in the face. That's your Saturday greeting. You're welcome. Here's the deal. Eastern Mass wakes up at 25 degrees with a north wind at 6 miles an hour. Clouds are hanging around like uninvited guests. Snow flurries are likely through the day. Nothing dramatic. Just enough to dust your windshield and make everything look pretty. Think powdered sugar on a donut. Drive an hour west toward Worcester and you're at 26 degrees. Lighter winds. Just a slight chance of flurries. Head all the way out to the Berkshires and it's 27 degrees under mostly dry skies. Barely a breeze at 2 miles an hour from the northwest. The quietest weather in the state right now. Tonight, temperatures drop into the teens statewide. Eastern Mass keeps those stubborn clouds. Western Mass goes clear and calm. The kind of cold that makes your nose hairs freeze on contact. Tomorrow you'll want to bundle up again, but we rebound a touch. Highs climb into the upper 20s to low 30s under partly sunny skies. Here's your heads up for the week ahead. Monday and Tuesday stay quiet with temperatures creeping upward. By midweek, there's a system we're watching that could bring snow or rain. Too early to call that one. Late February in New England always has a trick up its sleeve. Quick note. Sunrise hits at 6:33 this morning. We're gaining almost three minutes of daylight. Spring is whispering. Boston tides peak at 10.4 feet early this morning. Air quality is excellent. Perfect for a crisp winter walk if you layer up. One more thing. If you're enjoying these morning forecasts, share us with a friend. It really does help. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. Stay safe out there!
