Bostonians are set to experience a mix of weather conditions as they step into the latter part of November. Today's sunny skies come with brisk winds, reaching up to 37 mph, and a high temperature near 49 degrees. The wind is expected to carry on into the night, though with slightly less gusto, as gusts may hit highs of 23 mph and temperatures drop to around 35, according to the National Weather Service.

The start of the work week on Monday brings forth continued sunny weather, with less aggressive winds as West wind 7 to 11 mph slated to blow through the city, and temperatures anticipated to slightly rise with highs near 51. A shift is expected later on Monday night, as clouds begin to blanket the skies, introducing a 30% chance of rain post the early morning hours. This is set to usher in a wetter Tuesday, where rain is highly probable—National Weather Service reports pinpoint a 90% likelihood of precipitation, with high temperatures hovering near 54,

This rainy backdrop will potentially clear by Tuesday evening, a pattern consistent with the details reported by NBC Boston. Post-rain conditions will include cooler, windy weather that starts to move in Tuesday night into Wednesday. Clearer skies will return midweek, with a sunny Wednesday featuring highs around 49 and West wind 10 to 14 mph, with gusts as high as 25 mph.

However, those planning to celebrate Thanksgiving with travel should be mindful; forecasts predict a dampening change with a 40% chance of rain starting late Thursday. The possibility of rain and snow mix escalates overnight into Friday, especially in the Central and Western Massachusetts regions, as well as Vermont and New Hampshire. Travel may prove to be more challenging during the early hours of Friday post-holiday. The weekend carries on the trend with significantly cooler temperatures, expected to dive below seasonal averages, starting Thursday.
