As Boston braces for a mix of weather in the coming week, residents can bask in the sun today with highs touching a comfortable 43 degrees. The calm before the storm will see an east breeze keeping the climate temperate, though nighttime may experience patchy fog, shifting from clarity to cloudiness with lows dropping to around 30 degrees.
The city will be waking up to more fog tomorrow morning, with overcast skies predicted and highs nearing a milder 48 degrees. According to the National Weather Service, the day's mildness is penned in by a south wind blowing at a leisurely pace between 5 to 9 mph. By contrast, "the massive rain and windstorm that hobbled California a couple of days ago is at our doorstep Friday," as NBC Boston adds to the forecast.
Over the weekend, temperatures are looking up, with Saturday potentially warming up to near record-breaking highs — flirting with the 60s — as "this is the day the temperatures soar," according to NBC Boston, hinting at possible climatic irony with the weather acting as a capricious historian, possibly repeating last year's minimal snow and record-setting warmth. Come evening, there's a 30 percent chance Bostonians will need their umbrellas before 9 p.m., though the mercury won't dip much, maintaining a low around 41 degrees.
Rolling into next week, weather watchers should look out for a rain potential starting Monday – also waving the possibility of snow Tuesday night, where temperatures are expected to plummet to blustery chills near 25 degrees, as noted by the National Weather Service. With nature's unpredictable script, the upcoming storm "start off looking like heavy snow everywhere nearly a week out, then gradually we sequester the heaviest amounts well inland from the coast," echoes NBC Boston in its forecast. Prepare for a breezy Wednesday, with the city’s resilience tested once again in the face of nature's cold embrace, as the highs struggle to climb beyond 35 degrees.
