As Boston steps into the chill of December, the city unfolds a week that will see temperatures tipping from bearable chills to the brisk embrace of winter, as forecasted by the National Weather Service. Starting off with a sunny yet cold high near 39 today and moving towards a mostly sunny Wednesday with highs inching up to 41, the week sets a ground for below-average temperatures characterizing the season.
Moreover, as reported by NBC Boston, the city will bear witness to a dynamic shift in weather by Thursday, when normal high temperatures will be accompanied by a dance of showers turning to gusty winds and snow, especially across central Massachusetts. The day will culminate in an arctic frontal passage, perhaps with some snow squalls reaching even to the coast, making it the day with the most weather action.
The late part of the week, according to the National Weather Service, will harbor clearer skies and a sharp drop in the mercury with lows around 27 on Thursday night and Friday's sunny skies belied by a biting high near 34. These readings will not only mark an early winter presence but are an overture to an extended frigid chorus, with the weekend predicted to stay in the grip of the season's coldest air so far.
Furthermore, the active weather pattern is expected to linger into the following week, as per NBC Boston, with snow showers potentially dotting the region by Sunday. The air remains thick with anticipation of another storm that could roll across New England by Monday night next week. This transition from a benign winter start into a sharpening of December's cold teeth has residents bracing for what lies ahead in this season of extremes.
