Bostonians can expect a mix of weather conditions this week, from sunny skies today to possible showers and a chill in the coming days, forecasters said. According to the National Weather Service, today's weather in Boston will see sunny skies with a high near 60 degrees and calm winds turning south southeast.

However, conditions are to subtly shift tonight, with clouds increasing and a low around 42. Gusts could reach up to 20 mph, signaling a change on the horizon. "Wednesday: Showers likely and possibly a thunderstorm before 2pm, then showers likely between 2pm and 3pm, then a chance of showers and thunderstorms after 3pm," the National Weather Service reports. These showers could carry gusty winds, with a chance of precipitation sitting at 60 percent.

NBC Boston echoes the shifting pattern, noting that tomorrow will see the week's main threat of showers. Gusty winds are expected to follow, introducing colder temperatures as the day progresses. "Flat-out chilly Thursday. There will be a breeze, but the temps struggle all day," the report adds, forecasting a potential frost in the early hours and possibly again on Friday morning.

Heading into the weekend, the forecast suggests a significant temperature bounce-back, with predictions of highs reaching into the 70s by Sunday. As explained by NBC Boston, this warmup is due to the winds turning to the southwest, assuming no cold fronts make a surprise appearance. "Right now, the warmup still seems fragile, so stay tuned," the report advises, indicating Bostonians might yet have to fully embrace the upswing in temperatures.
