Bostonians woke up to a soggy Friday as rain pelted the city before giving way to a chilly weekend. The temperamental weather is short-lived, however, despite the dreary start and the brisk wind that will hold court over the weekend, staring down the barrel of one of the warmest February on record. The mercury is set with a 60-degree mark midweek, teased by the presence of showers, NBC Boston reports.
Tonight, expect mostly cloudy skies and a temperature dip to around 30 degrees, according to the National Weather Service, winds will be gusting from the north-northwest between 3 and 9 mph. Saturday promises a face full of sunshine though temperatures will take a nosedive to about 29 degrees by dusk; the northwest wind at 15 mph could gust as high as 25 mph.
By Sunday, the city will bask in sunny serenity with a high near 39 degrees before the classic New England weather plot twist introduces clouds at night and a low circling back to 29, the calm before the anticipated warmth. As we inch closer to Monday, those sunny conditions are expected to hold, eventually letting temperatures springboard to an optimistic high of 51, the week's weather narrative looking to peak with possibly the second run-up to the 60-degree mark for February, a climatic novelty according to historical records.
By next Tuesday, the National Weather Service suggests a chance of rain casting a mostly cloudy net over the city and setting a moody low of around 45 degrees. True to New England's unpredictable nature, Wednesday might bring about rain, a breezy yet cloudy day with a balmy high near 60, and showers likely persisting through the night while Thursday's forecast teases with a chance of showers, partly sunny and breezy conditions, making for a high near 56.
