Boston's weather forecast promises a semblance of spring in the air, as a warming trend ushers in higher temperatures through the week. Following a snow-free Sunday, the first for the month of February, the city is set to see highs flirting with the 50s by midweek. The NBC Boston report indicates that the newfound warmth should help continue melting the remaining ice.
Starting the week with chilly morning lows in the low 20s, temperatures will climb, hitting mid to upper 30s from Tuesday through Friday. This warm stretch is unusual for the season and is expected to stick around as March approaches. There's a consistent forecast for light winds and a gradual uptick in clouds as the week progresses. However, rain chances seem to remain on lower side, except for a few possible showers Tuesday evening between the rush hour and midnight, and another round Thursday into Friday.
The National Weather Service corroborates this forecast, pointing to partly sunny skies today with a pleasant high near 46 degrees and light winds becoming south between 5 to 10 mph in the afternoon. Forecast shows a trend toward cloudier skies in the evenings, with lows hovering around the mid-30s.
Looking ahead, there's a 60% chance of rain predicted for Thursday afternoon, heralding a damp end to the work week, with rain likely before 8 p.m. While Friday is expected to greet residents with mostly sunny skies and a high near 44, a slight chill returns to the air come Friday night, as temperatures could dip to around 21. The weekend, too, holds a chance for precipitation—from rain on Saturday to possibly snow Saturday night.
