Bostonians faced a tempestuous Saturday characterized by persistent rains and gusty winds as an area of low pressure traversed the region. "We’re tracking scattered showers in Greater Boston through early afternoon," according to NBC Boston. The impacts of this system are expected to persist, with wind gusts possibly reaching up to 40 mph today and a high hovering in the mid to upper 40s.
As the evening approaches, the storm will start to quickly move away, allowing the skies to become partly cloudy with lows dropping to the low 40s. For those looking forward to some reprieve, sunshine is set to return both Sunday and Monday, though it will still prove to be breezy at times, especially on Sunday," as reported by the National Weather Service. The anticipated high temperatures are forecasted to rebound into the low to mid 50s.
Looking ahead, NBC Boston warns of a fast-moving system that's expected to bring scattered showers to New England by Tuesday, with Boston looking at mid 50s for high temperatures. But the eyes of forecasters and locals alike begin to cast warily toward Thanksgiving Day, as a weather system developing to the west could bring a mix of rain and snow to the Commonwealth.
The details surrounding Thanksgiving weather remain uncertain. "Most of Thanksgiving Day looks dry with partly sunny skies and highs in the mid 40s," NBC Boston reports. However, by Thanksgiving night, a transformation might occur as rain showers are predicted to possibly transition to a rain/snow mix into Friday. It seems to particularly hinge on the influx of colder air, which could enable snowfall for inland communities. Black Friday shoppers should brace for highs in the low 40s and, while it may be too early to confirm snow accumulation, forecasters are keeping a close watch on the evolving system and vow to keep the public updated.
