Bostonians can expect the clouds to part and the sun to greet them this weekend after a somewhat gray and damp start today. The National Weather Service forecasts a high around 40 degrees today with mostly cloudy skies, accompanied by light north northwest winds. Some isolated showers might sweep through the South Coast, Cape, and Islands, but they're unlikely to leave much of a mark.
As tonight unfolds, the chill creeps in with temperatures dipping to around 30 degrees. The North wind could pick up a bit, blowing between 7 and 11 mph. Boston 25 News reports, "A brief evening rain or snow shower may fall in your town with no price to pay." Not to worry, any flurries that mix in won't stick, as the mercury holds too high for any real snow to gather.
Looking ahead to Saturday, "A north to northeast wind 15-20 mph will be develop along the coast and Cape by Saturday morning," as per Boston 25 News. While some coastal areas might see a hint of the ocean effect with a patchy coating, it won't be enough to upset weekend plans. Most of the city is set to enjoy mostly sunny skies with a crisp high near 36 degrees.
Then, the forecast promises a bright and sunny Sunday with "full sunshine on tap across the region," as Boston 25 News puts it. Although the morning temperatures are slated to lounge in the 20s, afternoon highs will climb into the mid-30s, a gentle nudge reminding us that, despite the cold, the sun has not forsaken Boston's sky. As the clear night ensues, expect the low to hover around 24 degrees.
With the week in view, calm weather continues. The National Weather Service anticipates a sequence of mostly sunny days, with high temperatures oscillating between the mid-30s to the low 40s as the new week unfolds. Each night mirrors the last, with mostly clear to partly cloudy heavens and lows consistent around the mid-20s. It's a straightforward forecast that lacks drama, but for those bracing against winter's bite, it's a welcome steadiness in a season known for its caprices.
