The polar vortex is heading towards the northeast on Friday, bringing snow, potentially record-breaking cold temperatures and blustery winds.
Friday will start with sunny skies and pleasant temperatures across Massachusetts before it will feel as though winter has returned overnight.
The polar vortex - a large area of low pressure and cold air near the North Pole - will head south Friday night, bringing bone-chilling cold to Canada and the northeast.
Storms will start as rain late Friday before transitioning to snow as the temperature falls overnight.
Snowfall is expected in parts of Central and Western Massachusetts overnight.
In the Berkshires and Hilltowns, one to two inches are largely expected, with up to three inches possible in pockets of communities. Under an inch is forecast for the Pioneer Valley. In Central Massachusetts, one to two inches of snow is likely, with under an inch expected in Worcester and one to two inches in Fitchburg.
Snow will transition back to rain or a mix of rain and snow showers on Saturday with little to no snow accumulation expected.
Then wind speeds will pick up.
Wind gusts up to 45 to 50 miles per hour are expected Saturday increasing in speed into overnight.
The strongest wind gusts are expected on Cape Cod, the islands and in the Berkshires.
Wind gusts will reach 45 to 50 miles per hour Saturday on the Cape and Islands.
In the Berkshires, wind gusts will reach 40 to 50 miles per hour - with a pocket of potential for 55 mile per hour wind gusts.
Across the majority of the state, wind gusts will top out between 30 to 40 miles per hour.
Saturday night into Sunday, temperatures will drop again, reaching the low 30s, high 20s across most of the state. Temperatures will drop to potentially record-breaking lows for May and will feel colder due to wind chill overnight.
