RI Weather Forecast: It Gets Colder, And Snowier

The coldest Jan. 6 in recorded Boston history was in 1996, when it fell to 1 degree. Today's temperatures could threaten that mark, and the wind chill would obliterate it. Bundle up, folks. Or better yet, hunker down.

Today's temperatures in Providence are expected to bottom out late tonight at 1 degree, and it'll be zero at midnight, according to Weather.com. The wind chill factor will make it feel 15 degrees below zero. In Boston, it'll feel about minus 21 degrees.

Think that's something? Try New Hampshire's Mount Washington, where the highest summits could see wind chills of minus 100 degrees, according to the Mount Washington Observatory.

Being outside for as few as 15-20 minutes in Rhode Island today could give way to frostbite. If you have to go out, it's important to your health that you dress in multiple warm layers. A wind chill advisory is in effect for all of Rhode Island until 10 a.m. Sunday.

Sunday will be a bit colder than Saturday - though when you're talking 20-something below degrees below zero, can you really tell the difference?

Sunday may also bring more snow - though not much. Weather.com doesn't have snow in its forecast, but AccuWeather is expecting a "weak storm" to hit New England Sunday night into Monday night.

Even a little bit of snow is unwelcome news to many who are still staring at well over a foot of snow outside their door. Temperatures rebound to slightly above freezing Monday, but it's going to be awhile before it's consistently warm enough for the snow to start melting.
