Bostonians can expect a sunny but cold Thursday as temperatures hover in the upper 20s to near 30, with wind chills plummeting into the low to mid-teens by afternoon. This weather report comes courtesy of the National Weather Service, who warns of a stark contrast from the recent highs near 50 that the area has been experiencing. The change in weather will bring not only a drop in temperatures but also a significant reduction in wind speed.
Tonight, Boston will see an increase in cloud coverage and a calm before another storm expected to hit on Friday. "Clouds will spread in tonight ahead of another weather system for tomorrow. We’ll swing back to the upper 30s to low 40s, ensuring that many spots start off as rain by mid/late morning," according to NBC Boston. There's also potential for snow in the evening, especially in the northern regions of Massachusetts and southern New Hampshire, although the exact timing of this changeover is still up for determination.
The weekend forecast suggests an improvement, with sunshine dominating Saturday and just a few clouds expected by Sunday afternoon. The National Weather Service indicates the transition into the weekend will be mostly pleasant, with Saturday trending mostly sunny and highs around 34, followed by a mostly clear night with lows dropping down to around 10.
Looking into next week, Boston may see some moderation in temperature with highs mostly hitting the 30s and 40s. NBC Boston points out there is still a chance of precipitation, which "bodes well for the extended drought we’re experiencing." The weather service shows a mostly sunny Tuesday with a high near 37 and a slightly increased chance of snow by Wednesday, with the potential for new precipitation offering a reprieve from the prevailing dry conditions.
