Bostonians, hold onto your hats – and coats – because the city’s frosty farewell to the weekend isn't warming up anytime soon. According to the National Weather Service, today's weather offers a mix of sun and clouds with highs nudging the upper 30s, though gusty west southwest winds of 13 to 18 mph will make it feel chillier, gusts may reach up to 26 mph. Meanwhile, tonight promises clearer skies and a low hovering around 28, with sustained winds of 14 mph and the potential for gusts up to 22 mph.
For those marking Washington's Birthday, the forecast anticipates the sunshine to stay put with temperatures peaking near 38 degrees – a welcome respite from recent shivers – although a west northwest wind blowing between 10 and 13 mph could carry gusts up to 20 mph, the brisk air persists it won't feel quite as biting as the weekend, NBC Boston reports that coastal areas have borne the brunt of the wind with gusts ranging 20-45 mph, dropping felt temperatures to the brutal single digits and teens in some spots.
As we head into the week, the mercury dips on Monday night to around 20 degrees with a modest northwest wind accompanying the starry forecast. Tuesday will dally with the mid-30s, and clear skies at nightfall may see temperatures fall to about 25 degrees. Midweek begins to court the early hints of spring with Wednesday’s mostly sunny disposition and a flirt with the low 40s.
By Thursday, Bostonians can anticipate a partly sunny day breaching the mid-40s, shifting into a mostly cloudy night as the thermometer reads a low near 33, the hints of a precarious dance between snow and rain looms large over Friday with clouds pregnant with precipitation as temperatures aim for the mid-40s, snow may join the downpour come nightfall heading into a partly sunny Saturday with highs in the upper 30s, so says the National Weather Service.
