Bostonians can bask in the glory of a sunny Friday before a wet weekend rolls in, according to the latest weather reports. As detailed by National Weather Service, the city will enjoy clear skies with a high near 48 degrees. However, winds from the northeast might present gusts up to 23 mph, so hold onto your hats.
The evening chill will set in with expected lows around freezing point. Saturday won't disappoint to bring clouds with a high near 44, but it's Saturday night when the rain is set to slap the city, with gusts potentially reaching 43 mph. "Rain, mainly after 9 pm. Patchy fog after 10 pm," the National Weather Service predicts, pointing to a certainty of precipitation.
In a similar vein, NBC Boston suggests that the rainfall will amount to one to two inches. What comes next is a scramble of weather, with the possibility of sunshine on Sunday morning, as the storm intensifies moving northeast. "Guidance is suggesting a dry slot of air that wraps around the storm could allow for a few rays as the rain departs in the morning," as NBC Boston reported.
But as quick as the sun peeks, it's the wind that seizes to showcase its brunt. Both ahead of the storm on Saturday night and in the aftermath on Monday, gusts could prove feisty - a reminder of nature's indifferent might to our human schedules. Closing the loop on the storm's theater, some areas might witness a dance of flakes Sunday night into Monday, albeit with no stage set for a significant snow event.
The tempest subsides post-Monday, with the week looking to welcome gradual warming and an uninterrupted stretch of sunlight. "Finally, a quiet spell settles in after Monday. We’ll see gradual warming and plenty of sun right through the end of the week," NBC Boston assures, promising a respite from the atmospheric tumult of the weekend. For those in Boston, it's a tale of two halves - the clear, tranquil end to the work week, before the rains come calling. And once they leave, the city can look forward to a serenade of spring-like weather and blue skies.
