Bostonians are bracing for a chilly week ahead, with mostly sunny conditions predicted for Monday before a possible shift brings few snow showers later into the evening, according to forecasts from the National Weather Service. The clear skies arrive with a biting North northwest wind reaching up to 22 mph, turning a low around 25 tonight to feel even sharper to the skin.
As NBC Boston reports, Monday's high is expected to hover near 39 degrees, though winds could make it feel as if it’s in the low 30s, the week kicks off on a bright note with abundant sunshine, mapping a replica of Sunday's afternoon bliss even as Cape Cod and Plymouth County begin to see the clouds gather, a prelude to the potential scattered ocean-effect snow showers that might dust the city by the late evening carrying into Tuesday.
The potential snowfall set to roll in Monday night through Tuesday is pegged by the National Weather Service with clouds obscuring what would otherwise be a clear view of the stars, as the low drops to around 26 and north winds of up to 21 mph compel the unprepared to clutch their coats a little tighter, the brisk air setting a stark contrast to the compounds of warmth that interiors provide.
The city’s respite from precipitation comes midweek, when Wednesday and Thursday are expected to wear the sun's splendor amidst partly cloudy skies, and by Friday, the mercury rises to the upper 40s looking forward to a weekend flirting with 50s, this warming trend interrupted by the possibility of showers Saturday as the mild menace of rain peppers Boston's forecast, with temperatures remaining seasonable for the region next week, hovering in the 30s and 40s.
Sunday promises to grant a brief bout of clemency from the drizzles and downpours, with partly sunny skies and a high near 51 offering the good people of Boston a momentary reprieve to soak in the tepid rays, according to NBC Boston. The dance between seasonable chills and temperate whispers typifies New England's capricious climate, as residents layer up against the winter's waning yet persistent breath.
