Boston's weather remains firmly entrenched in winter conditions, with residents preparing for a blustery and cold weekend, as indicated by forecasts. Today, while wind speeds have slightly subsided compared to yesterday's strong gusts, occasional winds reaching up to 40 mph were recorded. These gusty conditions are expected to persist through Sunday, with Saturday seeing winds reaching up to 35 mph.
The relentless winds are the workings of a stationary storm over the Maritimes, which is responsible, as noted by NBC Boston. As air swirls around this persistent weather system, Bostonians are advised to prepare for sustained windiness, with a relative respite anticipated by Monday, which, unfortunately, might not last long with another headline-grabbing storm predicted to stir up conditions again as it moves off the Mid-Atlantic coast.
Wind chills in Boston were projected to remain in the 20s today and are expected to drop further into the teens by tomorrow, with temperatures consistently hovering in the low 30s, according to the detailed outlook from the National Weather Service. The week's pattern suggests that while the cold will persist, it won't reach bitter extremes.
While Boston is expected to watch from the sidelines as the upcoming storm traverses through the Ohio Valley and Mid-Atlantic states early next week, potentially blanketing areas in Pennsylvania and New Jersey with nearly 8 inches of snow, the city itself is forecast to only witness a buildup of clouds. However, precaution against unsafe ice conditions is advised, because any ice formed over the weekend will not be stable, so the public should watch their pets and keep off thin ice.
