Dangerous wind chills are also in the forecast Friday night into Saturday morning.
For Boston, maximum wind gusts could hit 35 mph on Friday, according to the service. Those numbers are much higher for coastal communities, like Hyannis, where gusts could hit up to 58 mph on Saturday, or Nantucket, which could see gusts over 60 mph.
Beyond the winter weather for Friday and Saturday, a “significant storm” is predicted for Sunday night into Monday, the service said.
