Boston residents, brace yourselves for not one, but three winter storms with a mix of snow, sleet, and icy conditions starting tonight and continuing through the week. According to the National Weather Service, there will be increasing clouds today with highs creeping up to 34 degrees and a chillier low of 19 tonight. Southwest winds will roam 5 to 10 mph during the day, tapering off after midnight. However, the next winter system will begin to emerge late tomorrow night and continue into Thursday.
Residents of the Cape and Islands should anticipate light snow showers tonight into tomorrow morning. Cold breezes and the possibility of afternoon flurries are expected in the Greater Boston area tomorrow. As per NBC Boston, a more substantial storm is forecasted to deliver approximately 1 to 3 inches of snow beginning around 10 or 11 p.m., potentially creating hazardous conditions for Thursday's morning commute. "As warmer air nudges in, the snow will transition into sleet or freezing rain just before the early morning commute on Thursday," with a First Alert issued for the day due to risky conditions. Valentine's Day, on the other hand, strives for normalcy with sunny skies and highs in the low 30s.
As Thursday comes, prepare for an early mix of rain and sleet before it changes to all rain after 10 a.m. with gusts possibly peaking at 21 mph and a high near 41 degrees. Moving towards the weekend, the pattern of wintry weather seems far from a break. The NBC Boston forecast shows a frontal system bringing snow late on Saturday and transitioning to a wintry mix come Sunday.

To round off the cold spell, there's an 80% chance of more rain and snow, with blustery gusts reaching 23 mph. Washington's Birthday aims to offer a brief respite with mostly sunny skies and a cool high near 27.
