Bostonians bracing for more bone-chilling days ahead can at least look forward to some sun this weekend, breaking up the seemingly endless stretch of cloudy skies that have gripped the city, the National Weather Service reports. Residents have been enduring overcast conditions for nearly two weeks, with today's high reaching a mere 44 degrees amidst a southwest wind blowing at a mild 6 to 9 mph.
The gloom is poised to persist past sunset, as forecasters predict mostly cloudy skies tonight with a low of around 32 degrees; winds are expected to ease off slightly, coming in from the west southwest at 5 to 8 mph Friday will likely remain mostly cloudy, with the mercury nudging up just shy of the mid-40s, while the weekend promises clearer skies and a brief respite from the gray till a potential disturbance next week, per expert analysis shared by the National Weather Service.
As temperatures stay stubbornly tethered to the mid-30s from Saturday through Tuesday, a sharp cold front is anticipated to sweep through Friday that could stir up a few showers early in the morning, meanwhile, local meteorologists are keeping a wary eye on a large storm brewing down in the Deep South; though current models keep it away from New England through mid-week, there's still a chance the Cape could see some ocean-effect clouds or flurries, as reported by NBC Boston.
Temperatures are expected to crawl upwards only as we edge toward the end of next week—providing some hope for those yearning for warmer weather, and even though sunshine is on the horizon the city's residents must still weather a string of chilly nights with lows hovering in the mid-20s, based on the latest predictions from the National Weather Service.
