Are you ready for a weather whiplash? This holiday weekend is starting off mild and cozy in Boston. Saturday is going to be warmer than usual, with temperatures hovering around the 40s. But don't get too comfortable, because clouds will roll in and there might be some rain showers later in the day. If you're in southern New England and at higher elevations, you might even spot some wet snowflakes. Sunday is going to be clearer, but it will feel much colder. The afternoon temperatures will likely stay around 40 degrees. As we head into Sunday night and Monday, which is Martin Luther King Jr. Day, there's a possibility of a coastal storm. It won't be a massive storm, but it could bring some snow. So, if you have travel plans for Monday, be sure to keep an eye on the weather. After Monday, brace yourselves because Arctic air is on its way. Tuesday is going to be incredibly cold, with temperatures struggling to reach the teens. This sudden shift in weather is typical for this time of year, but it's always a good idea to stay informed and prepared.
