Bostonians, get your umbrellas ready as the city is gearing up for a wet and cloudy week. According to National Weather Service, Monday's looking gloomy with the skies shrouded in cloud, and temperatures sitting just shy of 50 degrees. By nightfall, patchy fog is set to roll in, giving the city a mysterious air, and the mercury isn't expected to dip much below 41 degrees.
Trouble is stirring for Tuesday as rains are forecasted to drench the city with an 80% chance of precipitation. "Tuesday Night: Rain likely, mainly before midnight. Patchy fog before 8pm. Otherwise, cloudy, with a low around 43," the National Weather Service reports. Come Wednesday, the soggy saga continues with a 50 percent chance of rain post-noon and temperatures hitting a high near 60—a brief reprieve before the night brings more downpour, with a 90% chance to get doused.
NBC Boston warns of multiple storm systems battering New England this week, ensuring that umbrellas will be as ubiquitous as disgruntled expressions. Wednesday's weather window seems jammed with just intermittent dry spots amid anticipated showers. But the real kicker comes later that evening into Thursday, where we're braced for a downpour heavy enough to make you contemplate building an ark, accompanied by strong coastal winds.
Fortunately, Friday signals a break in the clouds and a return to seasonable temps, just in time to welcome a weekend reminder to spring forward for daylight saving time. The National Weather Service nods to a mostly sunny Friday, granting Boston a brief interlude from the rain-soaked week. Looking ahead as daylight saving time kicks off, Bostonians will see sunrise and sunset times shift to 7:03 a.m. and 6:45 p.m., respectively, Sunday. That's assuming the clouds part enough for the sun to sneak a peek.
