Bostonians can expect a mixed bag of weather over the next several days, with a hint of what's to come on Easter Sunday followed by a potentially turbulent week thanks to an incoming storm. As per the National Weather Service, today lays out a canvas of increasing clouds with highs reaching the mid-50s, but winds will stay modest in the single digits. The chill of the night will drop temperatures to the upper 30s, laying down a calm anticipation for the week ahead.
Monday ushers in a period of cloudiness, with temps hovering around the low 50s and the wind making a subtle shift from calm to a light flutter out of the east southeast. The National Weather Service predicts a chance of rain after noon on Tuesday, boosting to a more assertive likelihood by nightfall. Wednesday, temps dip cooler still, dragging us to the lower 40s with rain and potential thunderstorms breathing through the breezy Boston air.
Turning to Easter Sunday, residents should keep their umbrellas at hand. Even with a promise of sunshine and clearing skies, budding blooms might be weighed down by raindrops as the holiday unfolds. "Wednesday to Thursday the higher elevations will be changing over to a rain-snow mix, and there is a potential for low-lying areas to see a wintry mix and snow," reported NBC Boston. With the tempestuous mix threatening, the heart of the city may skirt the fringe of winter's last gasp.
The mercury struggles to stay above freezing through the late hours, hinting that sweaters and scarves aren't ready to be packed away just yet. But not all news is grey; the skies are slated to clear post-storm, thanks to a high pressure system swooping in to brighten the stage. Temperatures are expected to creep upward, making way for an inviting warmth as Boston gears up for the celestial spectacle of an eclipse on the eighth of April. "That means warmer than normal, low cloud cover, and dry conditions," boasted forecasts from NBC Boston, holding out hope for unobstructed views of the astral dance to come.
Looming watches fill the air as Bostonians keep an eye on the sky — adjustments to their daily hustle may be necessitated by nature's whims. As the rain prepares to engage the pavement in a percussive symphony, followed by periods of icy silence, the city steadies itself for the early April storm on bated breath.
