Brace yourselves, Bostonians—your week is shaping up to be a dreary, wet rollercoaster of weather. Kicking off with a cloudy day and a high near 40 on Tuesday, conditions are expected to slide downhill with snowfall anticipated tonight, largely tapering off before 4 am. As reported by the National Weather Service, prepare for any late-night plans to be dusted with less than one inch of fresh snow.
According to a NBC Boston forecast, while Tuesday begins on a dry note, snow and rain are set to encroach as the day wears on. Later in the week, the weather pattern becomes more stubborn, bringing continuous rain on Thursday and Friday—with a possible side of sleet or freezing rain courtesy of lingering cold air. Tracking this tricky setup, temperatures aren't set to rise much beyond the chilly 30s to 40s.
The messy midweek doesn't let up come Wednesday, as there's a chance of snow before noon, followed by a mix of rain and snow until 2 pm, and then just rain after that, never fully committing to one state or the other. Apparently resolute in its indecision, the sky plans to remain clouded over, with a high hovering near 35, as per the National Weather Service's predictions.
Looking toward the weekend, Boston residents can anticipate a brief respite on Saturday. However, they'll have to steel themselves for another round on Sunday when a stronger storm closes in, once again stirring the pot of precipitation. With temperatures playing a precarious dance on the edge of freezing, it "wouldn't take much to switch us to snow," NBC Boston warns, hinting at another wintry mix to cap off the week's weather theatrics.
