The city of Boston is gearing up for a mix of weather conditions in the coming days, starting with fair skies today before a downturn. According to the National Weather Service, Bostonians will enjoy mostly sunny weather today with a comfortable high near 42 degrees and light breezes from the south southeast.
Tonight, the weather will take a turn as the chance of rain ramps up to 40 percent after 10 p.m., bringing cloud cover and temperatures dipping to around 32 degrees. Bostonians should expect to be carrying umbrellas come Friday morning, with a 90 percent chance of rain and highs cresting near 43 degrees.
As reported by NBC Boston, the region is experiencing a minor warmup with Thursday's mid-40 temperatures. However, by nighttime, a quick-moving weather system will bring precipitation, with the potential for wet snow and a mix in areas north of the city. Minor snow accumulations are expected in northern Massachusetts and southern New Hampshire.
Looking toward the weekend, the forecast predicts clearer skies but with colder air following the storm. Expect chills driven by gusty northwest winds, with Saturday's highs reaching only the mid-30s. By Sunday, the weather should warm slightly under sunny skies, hitting highs near 40.
Next week looks promising for those weary of winter's chill, as a significant warmup is on the horizon. Temperatures on Wednesday could reach the 60s, and even post-warmup, the region will see highs in the 40s late next week. While it's not yet time to declare the end of the winter season, the absence of storms as March approaches hints at a potentially milder conclusion to the seasonal cold.
