New Englanders are in for a bone-chilling start to their workweek, as Boston braces for sunny yet brisk weather with highs only in the upper 30s, the National Weather Service reports. Despite the sun's cameo, the city will battle through winds that could make the temperatures feel as low as the teens, especially come Sunday morning. According to forecast details, gusts could reach up to 22 mph, adding an extra bite to the already frigid conditions.
Shifting away from the grey canvas that covered New England skies, the start of this week promises clearer views, thanks to skies that have finally shed their cloudy demeanor after a persistent cover spanning over 10 days. "Sunny skies are hanging around for the first half of the week," NBC Boston reported. However, not all areas will bask under the same conditions with isolated snow showers threatening the Cape and the South Shore from Monday to Tuesday.
Nighttime will have Bostonians reaching for extra blankets as temperatures are forecasted to hover around the low to mid 20s. But with the sun's retreat, the wind remains, maintaining gust speeds up to 21 mph tonight and sustaining the chill in the air.
As the week unfolds, the mercury is set to climb modestly. By Thursday and Friday, Boston will feel a slight relief with temperatures expected to edge up into the mid to upper 40s. "By Saturday, we're hitting 50 degrees, but the rain's making an entrance," NBC Boston cautioned, suggesting the mild warmth will be met with wet weather. Residents should heed the probability of shifting weather patterns, as the exact timing of the weekend rain still hangs uncertain.
With the shifting of seasons from winter's cold grasp on New England to the teasing touch of spring warmth, residents are equally advised to stay abreast of the weather forecasts and prepare for the changing conditions that are customary of this transitional time.
