Bostonians are bracing for a messy mix of weather conditions, with a varying forecast that includes rain, snow, and potentially heavy downpours towards the end of the week. According to the National Weather Service, today fetches a chance of snow shifting to rain in the higher temperatures of the afternoon, with little accumulation expected.
As Wednesday wears on, any lingering snow is expected to melt away as temperatures rise above freezing. However, drivers should be wary of slippery roads during the morning hours. Wednesday night anticipates rain before tapering off on Thursday morning. A period of milder temperatures and showers will follow, breaking into the low 50s, per a report by NBC Boston.
Looking ahead to the weekend, a larger storm system approaches, threatening stronger winds and heavier precipitation. This system is predicted to bring significant rain that will transition to snow as colder air sweeps in. The coastal areas might initially experience rain due to warmer temperatures, but as the storm intensifies, snow is expected to prevail even down to the Cape by Monday.
