Bostonians are bracing for a flurry-filled end to the week, with snowfall expected to make a grand entrance on Friday afternoon. According to the National Weather Service, there's a 60% chance of snow, mainly after 4 p.m., and with potential accumulation of around an inch. As the weekend kicks in, the frosty weather will continue with temperatures nosediving to a low around 13 degrees on Friday night.
The weather outlook for Saturday doesn't offer much relief from the cold, with mostly cloudy skies and a high near 22 degrees expected. "Scattered flurries before 8 p.m." will give way to a chilly overnight low around 14, signaling a frosty start to the morning. Residents can anticipate sunny skies on Sunday, but the throat-biting cold will persist, with highs near 29 and the mercury plunging to 16 degrees come nighttime.
Looking ahead to the next week, there's a notable shift in the weather pattern. "There's a big turn in the pattern next week that will send the cold packing and bring back the 40s or even 50s," NBC Boston reports. Monday beckons with mostly sunny conditions and a high near 38 degrees, with temperatures gradually climbing. The forecast hints at a chance of rain coming Wednesday, alongside mostly cloudy skies and highs around 40.
Cold winds are predicted to whip up wind chills hitting the single digits as the week concludes, and the "bitter winds will make for wind chills in the single digits above and below zero." Residents may want to bundle up through these biting temperatures that persist until Sunday. When the new week dawns, however, a warming trend is on the horizon, promising to thaw the frozen Boston landscape and its inhabitants.
