SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (WGGB/WSHM) - Very cold out there once again as many of us start below 0°.

Today will feature once again, a mix of sun and clouds with highs ranging in the upper teens and lower 20’s. However, there will be a little more wind versus what we saw Wednesday. Meaning this afternoon, wind chills will remain in the single digits above and below 0°.

The bitter cold gets worse tonight, as we hang onto a breeze and temperatures fall below 0° once again. Wind chill values may range from -10 to -30°.

**Cold Weather Advisory has been issued for all of Western Massachusetts form 7pm Thursday through 11am Friday**

Friday will also be a very cold day with highs in the teens and a decent breeze. Bringing wind chills in the single to double digits below 0° in the afternoon. Mostly sunny though, despite the cold.

Then winds start to relax for Friday night. While temperatures may fall to as low as -10°, there will be less wind, and thus not as bad of a wind chill.

Saturday continues the bitter cold and will feature a mix of sun and clouds. Highs in the upper teens and lower 20’s.

Sunday is also very cold, and a bit windier with a coastal storm passing offshore. Right now, we are seeing increasing confidence that the coastal low passes far enough away, that we see the brunt of the storm hit the shoreline, cape and islands. While Western Mass deals with gusty winds and little to no snow.

Best chance for some light snow would be East of I-91, with higher amounts closer to The Cape.

Of course, things may still change, but we are consistently seeing this more easterly track for the low.

Next week looks to be mostly dry and the bitter cold starts to come to an end. Perhaps more typical February temperatures. Upper 20’s and lower 30’s.
