Bostonians might be in for a fleeting bout of spring fever this week as temperatures are forecasted to flirt with the 60-degree mark in some areas. According to the National Weather Service, today in Boston we can expect "partly sunny" skies with highs around 58 degrees and light winds coming from the south southeast.
Heading into the evening, the city should brace for showers, kicking in mainly after 10pm, and some patchy fog also making a cameo. As reported by the National Weather Service, the temperature will dip to a low around 49 with breezier conditions anticipated as gusts could reach up to 28 mph.
A real soppy scene awaits tomorrow, with "showers" and "patchy fog before 9am" as per National Weather Service predictions. The thermometer is expected to nudge nearly 59 degrees in the midst, carried by hefty south southwest winds that could howl at a furious 46 mph in gusts.
With a rush of warm air preceding an atmospheric front, "the afternoon also could see record-setting temperatures," according to a weather scoop by NBC Boston. The previous night's warmth aims to shatter records, stubbornly hovering in the "upper 40s into Wednesday morning."
But don't be fooled by the momentary balminess. Thursday's forecast is a stern reminder that winter is still lurking. The wee hours of the morning could greet us with a "30 percent chance of snow before 7am," after which the sun will make an appearance, delivering a chilly high around 35, accompanied by persistent breezy conditions, says the National Weather Service.
Later into the week and weekend, another round of mild air is set to sweep through, potentially bringing with it further unsettled weather conditions. While these brief intermissions from the cold may tease with a semblance of spring, Bostonians should keep their coats handy as fluctuating conditions continue to define the transition from winter's grip.
