Boston locals can expect a taste of varied weather conditions this week, with forecasts highlighting mild days and multiple chances for snow. According to the National Weather Service, today promises mostly sunny skies with near 40-degree temperatures and brisk winds that could reach gusts as high as 30 mph.
The week is set to kick off with a sunny day tomorrow, with temperatures lingering in the upper 30s. Still, the forecast, obtained by Boston 25 News, suggests we should quickly prepare for brief snow showers or possibly even snow squalls on Tuesday morning. These squalls could dramatically reduce visibility and create dangerous road conditions.
Tuesday's snow chances are relatively low, with little to no accumulation expected, but it’s the clipper system arriving Wednesday that has meteorologists on alert. While clipper systems generally don't carry a lot of moisture, they can still blanket the region with a few inches of snow. Boston 25 News advises to stay updated on the coming events especially if you have midweek travel plans.
The latter half of the week should see a return to clearer conditions, as the blustery wind gives way to sunny but cooler days, with Thursday's high dipping down to only 23 degrees. Likewise, the nighttime temperatures are also going to sharply fall, so it's essential to stay bundled up when venturing outside in the evening.
As the weekend approaches, residents can look forward to a respite from the midweek flurry with mostly sunny skies on Saturday and highs expected to reach the mid-30s. It's a small reprieve in a week marked by wintry unpredictability, and an opportunity to enjoy some outdoor activities before the next weather front rolls in.
