Fresh cold air will pave the way for a major snowstorm to threaten Boston at midweek.
Monday is shaping up to be a cold day across the Boston area despite some sunshine.
Temperatures will be held to the upper 20s, which is cold even for a typical January day. A high in the upper 40s is more common this time of year.
The cold will continue through Tuesday, setting the stage for a spring blizzard to swipe far eastern New England.
The current projected path of the storm puts the Massachusetts communities southeast of Boston at greatest risk for the fierce blizzard.
The threat for severe windswept and travel-halting snow would expand to Boston if the storm tracks closer to the New England coast, while a track farther away from the coast would lessen the snowstorm's impacts around Boston.

Even the current storm track, there can be near-blizzard conditions and treacherous travel for a time in Boston. Snow amounts will be on the order of 4 to 8 inches with the greatest amounts to the south and east, while lesser amounts are expected on the opposite side of the city.
There is also concern for coastal flooding during the height of the storm.
Blustery winds in the wake of the snow will howl on Wednesday, leading to even lower AccuWeather.com RealFeel® temperatures.
The cold will finally ease later in the week as winter loosens its grip and opens the door for another brief surge of mild air.
