After a bone-chilling morning, the mildest since February 26, the city is finally due for a warmup. "Temperatures will slowly rise into the mid 30s Thursday, this will be our last day with temperatures this low for quite some time, perhaps a week or two!" CBS Boston reported.
Friday and Saturday are aiming for temperatures about 10 and 20 degrees milder than Thursday, respectively. Sunday is shooting even higher, touching potential low 60s before the weather shifts gears. The warmth might feel like a break, but it's the calm before the storm. NBC Boston predicts "the heaviest rain is forecasted for Monday morning" with "most areas will receive between 1 to 2 inches of rain, with a few localized spots possibly getting more."
With the game time forecast looking favorable, football fans are in luck for the Army-Navy faceoff at Gillette Stadium on Saturday, as reported by CBS Boston. The weather service reminds us to enjoy the reprieve while it lasts, because Sunday evening is expected to initiate a less than desirable change. Relish in Saturday's game day sunshine; it's a brief interlude to the upcoming tempest.
The forthcoming storm isn't pulling punches, it's set to deliver a significant punch packed with heavy rain and strong winds. Winds are anticipated to hit hard with gusts "ranging from 30 to 40 miles per hour on Sunday, persisting into Monday," according to NBC Boston. The gusts could become forceful enough for people on the South Coast, Cape Cod and the Islands to experience over 50 mph, as alerted by CBS Boston, this could lead to some minor coastal flooding around the time of high tide Monday morning. Residents are advised to stay tuned to weather updates as the storm approaches.
