The weekend in New England will be cold, with highs in the mid-30s and lows in the mid-20s. Winds will ease slightly by Friday, but gusts may reach 40-45 mph through Thursday, causing "some isolated power outages or light damage from broken tree limbs or flying debris." A storm could bring snow late Saturday into Sunday, with a 30% chance between 11pm and 1am, but "it's too early to discern the amounts and the precise track of the storm," as stated by the National Weather Service and NBC Boston.
