Boston and the rest of New England might dodge another snowstorm this week. A winter storm is currently sweeping across the central U. S. , from Kansas to Washington D. C. However, this storm is expected to swing offshore over Virginia, sparing New England from any significant snowfall.

Local impacts could include some gusty winds and possible flurries along the Cape and Islands on Tuesday. If the storm's path shifts northward, Southern New England and the Cape could see more snow.

Bostonians can expect a cold and windy weekend. Sunday might bring a mix of sun and clouds, with temperatures hovering around the upper 20s to low 30s. Wind gusts of 20-30 mph will make it feel even colder, with wind chills dropping to the upper teens. Sunday night will see increasing clouds as the storm passes by to the south, with lows in the teens and wind chills dipping to single digits.

The upcoming week will be chilly and mostly dry. Strong northwest winds will add to the chill, with high temperatures struggling to rise above the 20s. Wind chills might even drop to subzero inland areas at night. The coldest days are likely to be Tuesday through Thursday, but temperatures should start to rise by the weekend. Saturday might see some cloud cover with a chance of stray flurries, but overall, the next 10 days should be mainly dry.
