Bundle up! Frigid wind chills Tuesday will make it feel like the single digits

Numbing cold has returned for a one-day stand. Wind chills have dropped to the single digits above and below zero as winds continue to gust over 20 mph. Some of that wind will drop off in the mid/late afternoon, but we’re still be in the cold through Tuesday night.

On Wednesday, the warmup will begin with a shift in the wind direction. While daytime highs stay in the upper 20s, we should move the needle into the 30s into the evening and late night. There may be some light mix or snow showers (with no/minor accumulation) into the overnight, then sun returns on Thursday. It’s then that we could pop into the low 40s before the arctic front arrives at night.

Cold air funnels in on Friday as winds increase and sun holds on. While highs near freezing, we should see temperatures drop later in the day. We’ll continue to fall through Saturday as the bitter air seizes all of New England. Both weekend days will struggle to make the mid-teens.

Healey reelection launch focuses on cost-cutting, Trump's impact

Exactly four years after she first asked voters to elect her to lead Massachusetts, Gov. Maura Healey officially launched her reelection campaign Tuesday morning, asking voters to keep her in the corner office for another four years.

The 54-year-old Arlington Democrat’s pursuit of a second term, with Lt. Gov. Kim Driscoll on board once again, comes “with a commitment to improve the lives of all Massachusetts families, lower costs, and stand up to the Trump Administration’s harms,” her campaign said. A two-minute video that Healey launched with an updated campaign website casts President Donald Trump as a foil to the incumbent governor and someone who is “making everything worse.”

“I ran for governor to show up for people who need someone in their corner, to lower costs and increase opportunities. And we’re getting things done,” Healey says in the video. She touts her administration’s in-progress efforts to lower energy bills, having made community college free, steps towards building more housing across Massachusetts, reforms to state veterans services, and having “turned it around” at the MBTA.
