Boston is bracing for a week of erratic weather following a powerful winter storm that pounded the region, delivering over two inches of rain and blanketing neighboring states with snow. As reported by NBC Boston, the tempest has tapered off, but the aftermath continues as biting cold air slices through the city, with wind chills dipping into single digits Sunday morning and hefty northwest breezes gusting up to 30 mph.

The forecast, courtesy of the National Weather Service, predicts partly sunny skies today with a high near 41 degrees, and this evening's lows are expected to hover around 31 with tamer northeast winds. Monday will mirror today’s chill, highs lingering in the low 40s, and Tuesday brings a 40 percent chance of light rain and predominantly cloudy skies, initiating a pattern of wet and warmer days ahead.

Wednesday's forecast doesn't fare much better with rain chances sticking at 40 percent and a gloomy shroud likely to hang over the area, the mercury is set to climb, reaching highs into the 50s for the remainder of the week. The warmth signals a forthcoming front, and according to NBC Boston, a subsequent storm system might sweep in, dousing the city yet again as March makes its exit—Boston's already soaked terrain sitting at nearly 6.5 inches of rain for the month.

Despite the disheartening dampness, a spot of hope gleams for the Easter weekend as weather patterns indicate a warm, dry respite suitable for outdoor activities, with temperatures potentially cresting at pleasant mid-50s, it seems that Boston may finally thaw from March's leonine grip, ushering in a gentler conclusion to a month marked by nature's volatility.
