Bostonians brace for a windy week ahead as gusts reach up to 55 mph on Monday. A wind advisory is currently in effect across southern New England with chill factors making temperatures feel much colder than they are; highs in the low 40s will actually feel more like the frosty low 30s, according to information obtained from NBC Boston.

The battle with the breeze starts today, with an aggressive west northwest wind thrashing through the city between 18 and 24 mph and pushing gusts up towards a fierce 43 mph, walloping Bostonians with an extra chill, information from the National Weather Service states, skies are set to clear as the week progresses, providing some respite from an otherwise blustery beginning. Tuesday promises sunshine with the wind maintaining its presence though slightly more tame, gusts hitting less of a wallop at a mere 25 mph as the high nudges up to a more comfortable 52 degrees.

It seems tranquility returns by mid-week with Wednesday showcasing a mostly sunny outlook, according to the National Weather Service. The wind calms to a soothing north northwest breeze ranging from 5 to 7 mph, and temperatures gradually warming to a mild 54 degrees; a welcome change after the aggressions of a windy start to the week.

Carrying ourselves toward the weekend, the promise of pleasanter weather is on the horizon Thursday, temps teasing Bostonians as they creep up to near 60 degrees, but don’t cast aside your umbrellas just yet because there’s "a chance of rain" set to dampen plans on Friday, and this unsettled theme continues intermittently through the weekend, with sporadic rain chances lingering alongside partly sunny skies and highs in the mid-50s.
