SUMMARY: A significant weather change is expected this weekend and next week, with weather alert days in effect. Cold air will arrive starting Sunday, with extreme cold settling in on Monday and lasting through Wednesday, posing a risk for pipe freezing, especially on the North Shore. While temperatures may dip into the 20s, the South Shore faces less risk. The potential for wintry precipitation remains uncertain, with forecasts indicating a possibility of snow or mixed precipitation. Monitoring will continue as the situation evolves with conflicting models from the U.S. and Europe, suggesting a low chance (10-30%) of winter weather.
